This reporting is extremely thorough and the allegations are horrific. Swalwell’s attorney is trying to undermine this woman’s credibility by saying she kept working for him afterward. It’s tired victim-blaming rhetoric. She was 21 when it started. I believe her and I hope she is okay.

New: A surge in calls among Democrats to pursue Trump’s impeachment is hitting a wall with party leaders, who believe it will distract from their midterm focus on costs and corruption, according to interviews with over a dozen Democrats. Some also view 25th Amendment as a nonstarter

hey gang - my friend iris' two front tires blew out and it's gonna cost a shitton of money to get her car back up on the road. she's asked me to collect funds to help recoup sudden expenses, so donations & RTs are big time appreciated!!!

The last time support was this low for these 21 families in Gaza was during the last wave of famine at the end of June 2025. And here we are again, bakeries at half capacity, and friends writing that they aren't eating so their kids can get a bite. Make it recurring:

Exclusive: The acting director of the CDC has delayed publication of a report showing the covid-19 vaccine cut the likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half, according to two scientists.

From Mohammed: "My son is in serious danger after injuring his hand due to the rain and strong winds. He urgently needs surgery to place a platinum screw costing £200 We are in the street in the mud&cold with my kids&my sick wife. His hand is in grave danger chuffed.org/project/lobnah

With the news of a ceasefire. I do want to note something: We all know the US is the only country to use nuclear weapons. But it also threatened to use them multiple times against Korea, Vietnam, China, the Soviet Union, Cuba, Iraq and Iran. (These are the public / private threats we know about)

When it comes to mass devastation, look no further than Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia where the US dropped 7.5 million tons of bombs, double the amount dropped on Europe and Asia during World War II. Each black dot represents a bomb dropped by the US. The US fabricated its reason for going to war.

This is such a brilliant move. That’s access to the Internet, borrowing laptops and so much. This is how a city should be moving

Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem shortly after it reopened following 40 days of closure.

To put it in even further perspective — Lockheed Martin produced both the spacecraft for the Artemis mission and the PRsM missile that shot tungsten pellets into an elementary school in Lamerd.

Script.

let's be clear about what's happening: donald trump and benjamin netanyahu, whose countries have been committing genocide in gaza since 2023, unilaterally started a war with iran, and are now threatening genocide there.

"This is a distraction" is just a lie. "They are taking your money and using it to commit criminal acts beyond our comprehension" is 100% true. I think we should tell the truth and not the lie. The latter also has the benefit of at least somewhat centering the issue of atrocities.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

I understand that most of us don't have the means to personally stop what's happening and there are many domestic victims of the US regime, but there's something very grim and galling about seeing Americans post "we must find moments of joy" every time our government murders children.

As a heads up to folks, since Congress is currently in a state work period there's distinct possibility the D.C. offices won't be answering their phones. It varies office to office. If that's the case I highly recommend calling their LOCAL offices instead. They should still be open.

I do not have words to say that haven't already been spoken by others. Please call your reps. Email them. Fax them. Encourage your family and friends to do the same. And yes I said fax. You can do it for free. faxzero.com/fax_congress...

the most depraved art is "sad returning soldier" films. you should feel bad! your redemption arc can't come in your hometown.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

if you are considering buying yourself a treat to try to offset feelings of helplessness and despair in these times, might I suggest the treat of fulfillment through humanitarian aid: gazafunds.com/all

Disabled people live on fixed incomes that keep them well below the poverty line. They are often on more medication than their non disabled peers. A 100% tariff on prescription drugs will break people, many of whom are already having to choose between medicine and food.
