The idea that there’s a “massive lack of enthusiasm” brewing within the core MAGA base is a significant talking point, and it’s being voiced by none other than Steve Bannon himself. It seems the energy that once fueled the movement might be sputtering, leading to concerns about its sustained power.
This perceived dip in enthusiasm could stem from a variety of factors, perhaps even from the very nature of sustained resentment as a primary motivator. While merchandise and a shared sense of grievance can be potent rallying cries for a time, it’s understandable that, at some point, people begin to expect tangible results beyond just expressing their discontent.… Continue reading

This degradation is attributed to businesses failing to value biodiversity, “perverse incentives,” insufficient regulatory support, and models promoting increased consumption. While businesses can contribute to solutions, policy, legal frameworks, and collective action are essential to reverse biodiversity loss, even as some regions pursue deregulation and others withdraw from international cooperation.

Seamus Culleton, an Irishman residing in the US for over two decades, has been detained by ICE for nearly five months despite holding a valid work permit and being married to a US citizen. Culleton, who owns a plastering business in Boston and was in the process of applying for a green card, claims he refused to sign deportation papers and that his signature has been forged on documents submitted by ICE.
