Fundraising for the library faces challenges given the current political climate, and costs are expected to fall somewhere between the libraries of George H.W. Bush and Barack Obama. Biden is also planning on a hub for leadership, service and civic engagement that will include educational and event space to host policy gatherings.

“Sandwich man” gets off: DC jury nullification in the age of Trump. So, let’s talk about this “Sandwich Man” situation. It’s been a whirlwind, hasn’t it? This whole story, it’s become a perfect encapsulation of the political climate. The main thing here, and it’s a crucial distinction, is whether this is truly a case of jury nullification. Jury nullification, as some folks are rightly pointing out, is when a jury essentially says, “We believe the defendant did it, but we’re not going to convict them because we disagree with the law or the way it’s being applied.” That’s a very specific thing.… Continue reading
The subject of GOP Rep. Lukas Schubert calling for LGBTQ+ activists to be classified as terrorists is a chilling development, and it warrants serious consideration. The statement itself is dangerous, and, unfortunately, the possibility of such a classification is, disturbingly, not beyond the realm of possibility.
The fact that Schubert, a Montana state representative, would even float such an idea speaks volumes about the current political climate. His public pronouncements on social media, often laced with anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments, paint a picture of someone actively engaged in the demonization of a vulnerable group. His referencing of Biblical stories to condemn LGBTQ+ people is a common tactic, often used to justify discrimination and prejudice.… Continue reading

In a recent analysis, it’s been argued that Russia’s pursuit of Ukrainian territory is financially unsustainable. The costs of such an endeavor, including military operations, occupation, and reconstruction, would be crippling for the Russian economy. Therefore, the international community must ensure that any territorial gains are not achieved without significant financial repercussions for Russia. This means holding Russia accountable for its actions and denying it the opportunity to seize land without bearing the full economic burden.

The subject of the NIH’s Autism Registry immediately brings to mind the chilling echoes of history, a time when difference was seen as a threat, and those deemed “undesirable” were targeted. The very idea of an autism registry, in the current political climate, ignites a primal fear: that it could become a tool for discrimination and, potentially, something far worse. The concerns raised aren’t simply theoretical; they are rooted in the actions of those who, throughout history, sought to control and eliminate those they deemed “unfit.” The historical context of the registry, and who is backing it, makes it difficult to ignore the possibility of a sinister agenda.… Continue reading
Las Vegas saw a significant decrease in visitors during June, with approximately 400,000 fewer people traveling to the city compared to the previous year, a decline of 11.3% attributed to economic factors and a slower convention month.

Despite the drop in visitation, gaming revenue remained steady, though average room prices fell. Democrats have pointed to policies of the current administration as contributing to the downturn in tourism.
