Republicans complain to Canada over wildfire smoke despite supporting planet-heating bill

  • I don't know about the best in terms of sheer reporting resources, but it certainly isn't suckling at the teat of corporate overlords like NYT, WaPo, etc. are. And that shows in its reporting and opinion pages.

  • Nothing? The protests are a big part of the reason the richest man on earth got kicked out of D.C.

  • They can point to their made-up laws and/or their made-up following of the laws and say that they can get away with whatever they like, but that doesn't mean we have to let them.

  • The supreme court's ruling about official acts only applies to the president. (The president does have pardon powers for others, but pardon powers aren't new.)

  • Protests and public opinion have already contributed to Musk leaving D.C., which if you ask me is a pretty big accomplishment. And protests aren't usually one and done... It's about building a movement, and that takes time.

    • Zohran Mamdani says 'I don't think we should have billionaires'

    Jump

  • My favorite tax policy hack for that last part is for the government to require a billionaire to formally declare the value of each of their assets (for purposes of calculating taxes).. with the stipulation that the government can choose to buy such an asset from the billionaire at the declared value at any time.

    Gets to market rate real quick.

  • You're painting with an awfully big brush there. And also, if I may say so, doing some world-class victim blaming. I'm pretty sure the people with a boot on their neck for "DECADES" didn't rename any french fries. And to your point about the long duration of this problem and apparent inaction about it: It's really quite tough to 1. organize, and 2. fight capital when you're experiencing economic precarity. The good news is that things may have finally reached a tipping point. So maybe those folks fighting the good fight here in the States could get some support from our friends to the north, eh?
