The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

.@brotherjones_ and @Justinjpearson protested for action on guns after a school shooting in Nashville left three children and three adults dead.

The state GOP's response?

How could the UK’s net zero plan involve new oil and gas? It’s mind-bogglingly stupid
