McCarthy will not run for speaker again after House votes to oust him
  • There was a crazy idea a year or so ago that they would impeach Biden and somehow skip Harris and have the speaker of the House become president. Maybe that is their master plan.

    Greece starts limiting Acropolis daily visitors to tackle overtourism
  • I guess my statement was too broad, I don't want to go to any tourist attraction that has that many. I have been in many airports and malls, but not for the joy of experiencing nature or history, my two favorite things.

  • www.inquirer.com Journalism fails miserably at explaining what is really happening to America

    Momentous week of GOP debate, Trump's arrest gets "horse race" coverage when the story's not about an election, but authoritarianism.

    Will Bunch expresses what I've been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don't support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.

    Now that's some devotion!
  • I'm not happy with the Dems either, but I do believe they will fight against the elimination of free school lunches. I will vote for them even if this is all they did.

  • I don’t understand how the police decided this guy hadn’t planned to attack a church for racist reasons. Sounds like they didn’t find evidence at his house about his intention to attack a black church, but that doesn’t preclude racism as a reason.

    Biden administration begins canceling student loan debt for 804,000 borrowers
  • This point will be lost in the reaction to this new approach. These people have been paying back their debt for a long time. Errors have been made. Relief is on the way.

    Trump was just indicted for trying to steal the 2020 election
  • I am so relieved that the special prosecutor is defending the rule of law with these indictments. If the Republicans (and not just Trump) got away with trying to overturn the election we could lose our democracy. We still can, but at least they are going to trial against this would-be tyrant and some of the people who helped him.

    I doubt that, but ok.
  • I guess we need to know what people consider long. The full document is longer than the Declaration of Independence , which I know a lot better. I can’t remember having to read the Constitution in school, just the preamble and a couple of amendments. This doesn’t excuse my ignorance though. Thanks for providing the whole document.
