In another sign of how extreme the Republican Party has become, leaders in the party recently came out against injured veterans and U.S. manufacturing. Sure, both the burn pit bill and the semiconductor bill eventually passed — but not before Republicans blocked both bills in retaliation for Democrats who had the nerve to make progress on a climate change and health care bill.

The climate is clearly going bonkers, as human-caused climate change is ramping up and heat waves spread across the globe. Here in the United States, we’ve been working on legislation that will help combat climate change — we’re just waiting until Democrats win over their most recalcitrant senator, who happens to be a coal millionaire.

One stop on President Joe Biden’s Middle East trip is in Saudi Arabia, where he will apparently meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, known also as “MBS.” You know, the same MBS who ordered Jamal Khashoggi — a U.S. permanent resident who lived in Virginia — to be killed. (Murdered and dismembered, to be specific.)
