Final broadcast of ABC News Tonight for 2025. I hope every rep and senator saw it. Millions are being forced to cancel health insurance because it’s unaffordable. That pressure doesn’t stop with them; it spreads. When people drop coverage, everyone’s rates go up. Call your Rep and Senators.

President Donald Trump's startling comment about the eye-popping amount of aspirin he's popping every day floored an emergency doctor on Thursday, who told CNN viewers that's the same amount they administer to people having a heart attack.

In a closed-door interview, Smith characterized the Republican president as the “most culpable and most responsible person” in the criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election. https://to.pbs.org/4qkxKI9

Silicon Valley and the Trump administration are betting the entire American economy on the continued growth of AI, a mission that’ll require spending billions of dollars on datacenters and new energy infrastructure. These researchers are tracking their physical imprint with an interactive map:

The nonprofit research group Epoch AI is tracking the physical imprint of the technology that’s changing the world.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

From hedge fund-owned newspaper chains to tech billionaires, news has become its own oligarchy.

“Everybody was trying to deter me from doing it,” Pha’Tal Perkins said. “They were saying that Black people don’t ride bikes, and nobody will ride bikes through Englewood at night, on a Friday night, and how dangerous it could be and all of that.” thetriibe.com/2025/06/roll...

In 2023, journalist Cong Corrales filed a landmark case against Meta to obtain the identities behind the accounts that had led a vicious smear operation against him.

The first time I searched Trump, there were over 900 records found. I also confirmed there are now 332.

35 million Americans live in poverty, and yet, this is what our president is focused on.

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine. Nightly Russia launched drones and missiles at innocent people. And tried to Kill Zelensky every day Spare me the gaslight

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a miracle. This man has spent years doing the diplomatic equivalent of somersaults on a tightrope while his country remains under siege. I don't believe in the Great Man Theory, but he's about as close as it gets.

If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

It might the best and easiest test ever.

Maybe FBI agents were among his clients?

Trump is everyone’s problem. He was elected twice with Russia’s help. America is not used to this level of sophistication in Russian counter intelligence. Biden was supposed to put Trump in jail for January 6th 2021; but his DOJ failed to indict. Justice was denied because justice was delayed

Bovino thinks he can move on, but he will be despised worldwide for the rest of his miserable life. Everyone knows what a POS he is

Treason is a major crime child sex trafficking is a major crime blowing up random boats in another country is international major crimes, and I'm sure that they'll figure out paying foreign prisons to take prisoners from the United States is also somehow a major crime when the shit's all over. F U.
