@lccscotland this is just #ridiculous! another example of another disastrous decision the self-proclaimed leaders ( #bullies ) of the "free" world, and its impact across the world. Illegal #Cannabis is #illegal Within the context of #alcohol and #tobacco, cannabis is less harmful (check data on all 3). There was never a Public Health problem with cannabis addiction. Cannabis was proihibited because of #prejudice, #racism and pure #ignorance. "Drugs and Alcohol" is just #newspeak. #boycottusa

#Swedish #pension fund #APFonderna created #shellcompanies to invest into #Northvolt before it went public, this lead to Swedish #pensioners lost 5.8 billion #SEK

IMHO the people behind this who worked at AP-Fonderna should be personally responsible to compensate the pensioners funds for the whole loss as it was #illegal for them to do the investment.

SVT Nyheter · Bolag utan anställda fick uppdraget när AP-fonderna satsade miljarder i NorthvoltEtt upplägg med bolag utan anställda blev lösningen när AP-fonderna skulle satsa pensionspengar i Northvolt. Nu kan SVT avslöja hur det gick till när AP-fonderna kom runt förbudet i lag mot att köpa onoterade aktier direkt. Affären med statliga pensionspengar slutade med att 5,8 miljarder försvann.

Andrew Roth at The Guardian:

"It’s unlikely that anyone will be punished. Donald Trump has told his aides that he doesn’t want to give the Atlantic a scalp, and vice-president JD Vance responded forcefully during a trip to Greenland on Friday: “If you think you’re going to force the president of the United States to fire anybody you’ve got another think coming … I’m the vice-president saying it here on Friday: we are standing behind our entire national security team.”

"Trump is to introduce tariffs this week that will probably dominate the news agenda for weeks. And his deputies are out on cable news every day, pushing back at the media for covering the scandal and suggesting that Goldberg somehow sneaked his way into the chat rather than being added directly by Waltz, the national security adviser."

If Jeffrey Goldberg had not been invited to take part in the "chat" you can be certain we never would have heard a word about it.

Two ... no make it THREE questions come to mind.

How many other #asinine and/or #illegal things have #Republicans
done?

Are they capable of doing ANYTHING that's NOT asinine and/or illegal?

What level of #trust should be given to ANY member, and I mean ANY member of the #GOP?

Republicans are
#PartyOfThugs
#PartyOfCrimimals

“The #Signal #leak was never about an #app. It was a diagnostic stain, exposing the rot festering beneath the Mythic US’s #veneer of #democracy and #law. The fleeting obsession with #encryption #protocols and personnel errors encapsulated the farce: a society expertly trained by its #distraction #machine to fixate on trivialities while the Operational US – the militarist-oligarchic core – wages #illegal #wars with #psychopathic #impunity”

I thought they were trying to save money 🤔

Under #Trump, the #Consumer #FinancialProtection Bureau #CFPB has dropped nearly a dozen enforcement cases brought during the #Biden admin, ending lawsuits against #banks & #lenders for a variety of financial practices that the #watchdog agency no longer considers #illegal.

But on Wed, the bureau went a step further: It is seeking to GIVE BACK $105k that a #mortgage lender paid to settle #racial #discrimination claims….
