Seven states in the US have approved measures to protect or expand abortion rights.
10 states had votes on it and in 7 they voted for abortion rights. Not great but looks like better than it was few months ago.
I am actually looking forward to see what and if will Mask do anything to cut the government spending. i feel most countries have the same situation as we do and the amount of bureaucrats sitting around doing nothing, and the amount of money "leaked" with no auditing is just crazy. for our small country of ~ 6.000.000 people in 2000 we had 17 ministries now we have 30.
as someone who was a kid when neighbors started killing each other because someone told them the other side hates them (lucky to not be in the middle of it) and after that had NATO dropping bombs (with no UN approval), few pretty close to me (3-5km, several tons make your house shake) ending that war today would be the best that could happen. i know it sounds unacceptable for a lot of Ukrainians and i fully understand them.
I have a feeling that there is a 50:50 with Tramp considering the world (because he is pretty crazy). 50% that all hell breaks loose, 50% that there will be less people killing each other in the world. With the last administration it would continue as it is at the moment, there is to much money in wars.
One thing is certain - there is now more uncertainty!
