Lauren Boebert votes against bill for veterans dying from burn pits after ‘disrespectful’ SOTU heckling | The Independent
Rep Lauren Boebert voted against a bill to support US veterans sick and dying from toxic exposure to burn pits – just days after she heckled President Joe Biden as he spoke about the topic in his State of the Union address.
The Republican congresswoman cast her vote on Thursday morning against passing the Honoring Our PACT Act, saying no to providing around 3.5 million veterans with access to healthcare and disability benefits after they served their country overseas.
This comes less than 48 hours after she sparked outrage among veterans, advocates and Democrat lawmakers for heckling President Joe Biden as he spoke about veterans suffering from exposure to burn pits in the SOTU on Tuesday night.

REI Workers Just Unionized by a Landslide – Mother Jones
Overcoming stiff corporate opposition and a slick anti-union campaign, staff at the company’s New York flagship store voted Wednesday to unionize by an overwhelming 7-to-1 margin.
REI SoHo, the nearly 40,000-square-foot Manhattan store, is the first of the company’s locations to unionize. Eighty-six percent of its 116 staff, from tech specialists to shipping and retail workers, voted to form a new local of the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union—the same union that workers at Amazon’s huge Bessemer, Alabama, facility are now voting on whether to join. The REI vote follows an expensive, full-bore effort against the union, including an anti-union podcast that drew laughs online for “progressive” flourishes like an Indigenous land acknowledgement and executives’ recitation of pronouns.

Milimétricamente, en la biblioteca de su casa, el hombre colocó algunos papeles minúsculos y cintas adhesivas en ciertas páginas de las cuartillas de su obra, que entregaría a una editorial de prestigio internacional con la idea de participar en su renombrado certamen mundial de novela.

The Choices we Make
Some of us choose our personas because of the leverage we can wield. We create facades in order to cover up our true character. Profit has always been the key to all the calamities facing this Universe. We have to seriously ask of ourselves whether we are enablers or someone who sees the same humanity in others as they see in themselves. Regardless of how insensitive we are if this World dies we die, no weapons, money or connections can save us. Let’s pause for one moment so that we can see how insignificant our role is in this Universe. Whatever we do to Mother Earth we do to ourselves.

TV Producer for Russian Oligarch Charged with Violating Crimea-Related Sanctions | OPA | Department of Justice
John Hanick, aka Jack Hanick, 71, a U.S. citizen, is charged with violations of U.S. sanctions and false statements in connection with his years-long work for the sanctioned Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev.
“The Justice Department will do everything it can to stamp out Russian aggression and interference,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “As alleged in the indictment, the Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev was previously sanctioned for threatening Ukraine and providing financial support to the Donetsk separatist region. The defendant Hanick knowingly chose to help Malofeyev spread his destabilizing messages by establishing, or attempting to establish, TV networks in Russia, Bulgaria and Greece, in violation of those sanctions.”
“Konstantin Malofeyev is closely tied to Russian aggression in Ukraine, having been determined by OFAC to have been one of the main sources of financing for the promotion of Russia-aligned separatist groups operating in the sovereign nation of Ukraine,” said U.S. Attorney Damien Williams for the Southern District of New York. “The U.S. sanctions on Malofeyev prohibit U.S. citizens from working for or doing business with Malofeyev but as alleged, Hanick violated those sanctions by working directly for Malofeyev on multiple television projects over the course of several years. The indictment unsealed today shows this office’s commitment to the enforcement of laws intended to hamstring those who would use their wealth to undermine fundamental democratic processes. This office will continue to be a leader in the Justice Department’s work to hold accountable actors who would support flagrant and unjustified acts of war.”
