Congress passed a military spending law that more than doubles what the US spent at the end of the cold war, and authorizes support for atrocities in Yemen and Iran.

The US news media distracted the public from this by focusing on the irrelevant fact that the bullshitter didn't thank Senator McCain when signing it.

Companies that want to make cars without local human drivers are pressuring to blame pedestrians for getting in the cars' way.

The political danger of remote control of driverless cars, and the surveillance danger of they watch the people they pass by, makes for a danger of worse tyranny as well as collisions. We should either ban both remote control of and surveillance by these cars, or ban the cars.

Republicans are making a distorted attack on New York Governor Cuomo for admitting that the US has always had flaws.

Cuomo is not a progressive; I support Cynthia Nixon. But the accusation now coming from the liar party is nonsense.
