Yes!!

Here in the US, home to more billionaires than anywhere else in the world, more and more people are going hungry because they can't afford food. Thanks to Trump's policies, that's only going to get worse. I wrote about it @prospect.org.

this an excellent article about the hep B vaccine in newborns -- 90% of infected babies go on to have chronic liver disease/failure/cancer, and 25% of them die as direct result of this infection. all prevented with this vaccine. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Thanks SCOTUS for this. Their immunity ruling empowers this. “…the second time he has ordered the use of lethal force against a vessel from that country. Mr. Trump said three “narcoterrorists” had been killed…” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Must be nice to not have oligarchs on your Supreme Court.

Guys, I know you all still cling to conspiracy theories about Merrick Garland bc ... well, you watch too many TV lawyers who knew fuckall about the investigation. But this is a fact. A trial was scheduled to happen 3 years after Jan6, just like Bolsonaro got. Who killed it? John Roberts.

Why did they cancel law enforcement press conferences and send Patel and Bongino to Utah? Did they catch someone and don’t like his motives? I feel a bit nuts even thinking this, but I don’t trust Patel or Bongino. I feel like they’re not gonna be honest with us about the shooter.

Let's not forget...

Andrew Perpetua If NATO does not make a firm boundary for Russia today as a result of Russia’s attack on Poland, then Russia WILL attack Poland again. And it is 100% NATO’s fault. At some point it is not even Putin’s fault anymore. It’s like dangling meat in front of a tiger.

Sounds like the USA is killing people “they believe” are drug dealers? On Tuesday, the US killed 11 people in an airstrike on a Venezuelan speedboat it claimed was operated by “narco-terrorists” of the Tren de Aragua gang. www.thetimes.com/us/news-toda...

Pritzker just said it out loud: the Union is unraveling, and his state is being invaded by an authoritarian regime. This isn’t politics — it’s crisis.

This is from the President of the United States. I’m speechless.

Fake money to be a traitor.

🔥👀🔥 Crazy to start a war in another county to distract from the Epstein Files! Don’t you wonder who is listed in those files??

How would the USA or a NATO country respond to attacks within their countries? An act of war?? King MAGA knows no limits.

Ukraine was soooo underestimated!

Turn the TV off. The only way to bypass MAGA propaganda is to find the news in selected media such as YouTube, Substack, Podcasts, and publications.

Drones violated Polish airspace twice on Thursday night, the country’s military chiefs have announced. According to Gen. Wiesław Kukuła, Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, the situation was “under our full control” throughout the incident.

Epstein victims' lawyer: While we have seen the documents, you haven't. When you see the documents, you're going to be appalled. The American people deserve to see everything. Evil flourishes in the darkness. RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES!

They plan to call Trump later. A great strategy.
