The Conservatives have dominated British politics for 14 years, holding onto power through crisis after crisis, including some of their own making.

The Interview.

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that a Christian-owned business can’t be compelled to cover preventive medications as is required under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but it determined a Texas judge carried out an “abuse of discretion” in his prior ruling by blocking federal agencies from enforcing the rule universally.

I should also add that the admins over at lemmy.world were kind enough to appoint me mod status in the community (as it had been abandoned.)

Despite the way things look from the mastodon side of things, lemmy.world’s @neoliberal is no longer abandoned!

Well, with kbin.social down again I’ve started posting over at the lemmy.world @neoliberal community. It looks like it should be followable from Mastodon, so feel free to join and participate!

Hopefully ernest is able to recover soon; kbin was a great idea and it has a lot of potential.

The White House’s policies have fueled plans for more than $200 billion in cleantech manufacturing investments — mostly in districts with Republican lawmakers opposed to the agenda.

A new POLITICO Magazine/Ipsos poll shows that Trump’s criminal conviction hurts him with independents.

A new electoral divide has emerged in America.

This divide is not rooted in race, geography, age or education. Instead, it is engagement in democracy itself.

The U.S. military launched a clandestine program amid the COVID crisis to discredit China’s Sinovac inoculation – payback for Beijing’s efforts to blame Washington for the pandemic. One target: the Filipino public. Health experts say the gambit was indefensible and put innocent lives at risk.

In a new, secret recording, the Supreme Court justice says he “agrees” that the U.S. should return to a place of godliness

The Fair Representation Act has been re-introduced in Congress. This bold solution can stop gerrymandering and make Congress work for every American.

The Fair Representation Act can solve partisan gerrymandering, make every congressional district competitive, and encourage politicians to represent all of us instead of just their base. It does this by combining three reforms:

• Multi-member districts. In three- or five-member districts, nearly every voter will elect a candidate they support. Voters like Massachusetts Republicans and Oklahoma Democrats will be represented in Congress. Gerrymandering will become nearly impossible.

• Ranked choice voting for all U.S. House and Senate elections. RCV frees voters to support their favorite candidates, and encourages candidates to reach out to more voters for second-choice support. When RCV is used in multi-member districts, it is a form of proportional representation.

• Uniform rules for congressional redistricting

The Fair Representation Act can be passed without a constitutional amendment. It truly has the potential to transform our political system and create a more inclusive and deliberative government which respects and empowers all voices.
