“Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar”

Never forget or forgive that Trump, Rubio, & Musk *chose* to inflict this monumental level of death and suffering on the poorest & most vulnerable people.

Commercial Real Estate crisis is worsening

Office CMBS Delinquency Rate hit 11.7%, an all-time high.

That’s higher than the 2008 Great Recession peak of 10.7%, and it’s only getting worse.

A commercial real estate downturn is here and it’s unfolding faster than 2008. Next few months will be wild.

Sen. Gallego: "Who are we dealing with? Mike Johnson has sent away the Republicans to hide the Epstein list. Trump, the man who wrote 'The Art of the Deal,' cannot be found anywhere...There's negotiations to be had, but two of the three people that need to be involved are gone."

Sen. Adam Schiff: "The Republican U.S. Attorney in Virginia refused to go forward with the prosecution of James Comey because he thought it lacked evidence. They fired him and replaced him with a personal lawyer of the president, an insurance lawyer, to seek these charges."

"Setting aside Trump’s confusing online behavior, the president’s in-person appearances have also become odd.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Canadians detained in Israel over Gaza-bound flotilla: Global Affairs Global Affairs Canada says two Canadian citizens have been detained in Israel in connection with the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Israel abducted Canadian citizens in international waters on their way to provide humanitarian aid to a nation Canada now recognizes as sovereign.

What is our government doing about it?

Sweden demanded the return of its citizens within 24 hours.

Canada “urged” Israel to “ensure their safety.”

He’s toxic
