I haven't seen any sort of official confirmations it was a Russian rocket, the biggest plotwist I can think of is that those were Polish rockets used by Ukrainians in an attempt to shoot down Russian rocket.

Based on preliminary intelligence, it seems like this is pretty close to what happened, though not Polish-made rockets.

Anyway, I can only imagine how challenging of a time it has been in Poland over the past year; a war on your doorstep, and the number of refugees y'all have taken in is nothing short of heroic. Best wishes and stay safe.

Seems a shame that the Senate doesn't want rail workers to have sick days. Wtf?

Like all unions, they're being crushed by corporate interests and the government that represents those interests. That asshole Reagan put that one in motion long ago.

After Warnock wins (god I hope), can we sink Manchin's fucking houseboat already.

I keep seeing headlines about Republicans stiffing him on whatever deal he was trying to weasel (probably dirty fossil fuel industry boosts) and it's just great to me. He made a huge show of being the biggest Republican in the Democratic party and now they repay him with nothing.

Republicans still took an outright majority of votes nationwide in the midterms. THOSE Republicans. Criminals, maniacs, just banned abortion Republicans. No policy, blow up the government Republicans. More Americans said yes to that than no. White Americans, very much so.

Boebert didn't lose. Joe Biden is less popular than Donald Trump. The Georgia runoff between the incumbent and a carpet-bagging, scandal-ridden, flagrantly unprepared brain-addled moron is on a knife edge.

Americans aren't dumber than other people. What's worse is that people everywhere are this dumb.

I feel like the media is trying to tell me that the curious case of Hunter Biden (and his laptop) is one that is of consequence to us on the left and could be a major score for the new GOP house. But I don't really feel like some failson getting busted for shady dealings while high on crack is a real "Payback's a bitch." More like if Donald Trump and Hunter Biden are both convicted of crimes, that's kind of awesome and maybe sketchy billionaires will think twice before running for office.

Yeah, if Hunter Biden!! is the worst they can come up with then big fuckin' whoop. What happened to the Biden Gas Tax outrage? It's under $3/gal again where I live.

And that's if the house barely-majority doesn't morph into a giant infighting clusterfuck.

Their Afghanistan withdrawal investigation should be interesting, being that every element of Afghan government's sudden collapse leads back to Trump.

I actually know nothing about this. Please share!
