17 states and trade group sue California over plastics packaging law

“Once again, California is trying to enact a policy that negatively impacts the rest of the country. If California goes unchecked, consumers will be forced to pay more for basic necessities,” Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers, who led the coalition, said in a news release.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Basic necessities are already unaffordable, so what, they're gonna get slightly more unaffordable? Oh no! Fuck all the way off with that bullshit justification, Nebraska.

Agreed, but it's already been a year, she probably didn't want this suit dragging out through her entire college career, which would be totally understandable. It just sucks that a $10k settlement coming out of the school's coffers isn't going to dissuade the principal and the "head of schools" from continuing to harass and threaten LGBTQ+ students in the future.

Trump administration touts Iran deal as a payday for US farmers, but Iran denies it

Trump threatens to pull unemployment benefits from all states for the first time in history

“The American people will no longer tolerate the blatant waste, fraud and abuse of their hard-earned tax dollars — no state should allow it either,”

Excuse me? If anything, the 2024 election made it crystal clear that the American people will, in fact, tolerate the blatant waste, fraud, and abuse of our hard-earned tax dollars. 77 million people actually voted for it.

Okay, let's pretend this bullshit were true for a moment. He understands that's much worse, right? If you're too senile to tell the difference between a depiction of yourself as Jesus and one of you dressed up as a doctor you shouldn't even be allowed to use a stove unsupervised much less run a nation.
