If they match donations, they are entitled to a tax break on their own donations.

The only issue with matching is that you don’t have a say in the charity. Do your homework. If it’s a legitimate charity, then it’s better to donate through a company that matches donations.

I saw it the other way, with the question mark as the curl of his lip.

“There is no climate crisis and we are not in the midst of an energy transition either,” he said, adding that “the term carbon pollution is outrageous” because all life depended on carbon dioxide.

“There is no such thing as clean energy or dirty energy, all energy sources have impacts on the world both positive and negative,” he added.

Trump is setting up a race between climate change, pandemics, and world war.

Of course they are. I’m not criticizing the undocumented workers, but their two-faced employers and citizen coworkers.

I’m aware that only citizens can vote. I’m referring to the farm owners and workers (who are citizens) that overwhelmingly voted for Trump are now fighting to protect them from deportation. Did they only expect their competitors’ undocumented workers would be deported?

I’m not casting. More US farm counties voted for Trump than in his previous two elections.

Trump won 433/444 farm-dependent counties this election. That’s 97.5%.

The same farmworkers that voted for Trump in the first place?

Edit: I’m not referring to the undocumented workers, but their citizen peers and employers that are currently fighting to keep the undocumented workers from being deported.

The first big leap is from animal to human. The next transmission is the one we should really be concerned with, the transmission from human to human.

Between SCOTUS’s ruling on legal protests, and Kristi Noem’s appointment to DHS, I wish you luck.

 
 

A California-based startup called Savor has figured out a unique way to make a butter alternative that doesn’t involve livestock, plants, or even displacing land. Their butter is produced from synthetic fat made using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and the best part is —- it tastes just like regular butter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday made it harder for the federal government to win court orders when it suspects a company of interfering in unionization campaigns in a case that stemmed from a labor dispute with Starbucks.

The justices tightened the standards for when a federal court should issue an order to protect the jobs of workers during a union organizing campaign.

The court rejected a rule that some courts had applied to orders sought by the National Labor Relations Board in favor of a higher threshold, sought by Starbucks, that must be met in most other fights over court orders, or injunctions.

The NLRB had argued that the National Labor Relations Act, the law that governs the agency, has for more than 75 years allowed courts to grant temporary injunctions if they find requests “just and proper.” The agency said the law doesn’t require it to prove other factors and was intended to limit the role of the courts.

The case began in February 2022, when Starbucks fired seven workers who were trying to unionize their Tennessee store. The NLRB obtained a court order forcing the company to rehire the workers while the case wound its way through the agency’s administrative proceedings. Such proceedings can take up to two years.

 

The prosecution contends the reimbursements were falsely classified as legal expenses to conceal their true nature — part of a hush-money deal with Daniels. Prosecutors also say this was done to affect the election’s outcome, not merely to save Trump personal embarrassment, and therefore amounts to election interference.

Trump’s team argues the money paid to Cohen, who in the past said he would take a bullet for Trump but has also become an aggressive critic of the former president, was indeed for legal services.

 

Israel must immediately halt its military operations in the area of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, the United Nations top court ruled on Friday.

The ruling by the International Court of Justice marks a major condemnation of how Israel is conducting its war against Hamas in Gaza, but also leaves open whether the ruling can be enforced.

 

A former U.S. military intelligence official released a letter on Monday that explained to his colleagues at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) that his November resignation was in fact due to "moral injury" stemming from U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza and the harm caused to Palestinians.

 

In a Truth Social post, Trump attacked Biden − and Hamas − by accusing the president of "taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses."
