US’s new scramble for Africa is biomedical imperialism From Zimbabwe to Zambia, US health deals are raising fears of a new era of biomedical extractivism.

"The US is now pursuing biological data and pathogen intelligence through policies that risk reproducing the power imbalances of colonial extraction in new scientific form...African bodies are not cheap, expendable commodities."

Better late than never should probably be this administration’s motto, sadly, they tend to land on the side of never more often than not. Whether it is a war with unintended consequences, tariffs that destroy your own nation, or just really bad shoes, none of them can admit a mistake!

How Ukraine is helping the U.S. defend against Iran's drone attacks Now that the Shahed drone threat has arrived in the Middle East, the U.S. and Arab allies have formally requested Ukraine's help. This week, Ukrainian troops have arrived to begin their training. Nick...

LOL she admits that the reason she loses so often is because she prosecutes way more shitty cases.

KILMEADE: Is it true you're telling your whole cabinet to wear the same shoes, these Florsheim shoes?

TRUMP: When they tell me they have a problem, I say, 'let me get you a pair of shoes.' It seems to work out well. Now they look all spiffy & nice. I never liked cabinet members walking in sneakers.

Can we just start calling Trump Boom Boom?

Spoiler alert: Ukraine is helping the United States with drone warfare, Trump doesn’t know anything that’s going on with the war. He just struts on stage, rants and demands that people blow things up!

Trump’s middle name should be hubris, but it would probably be confusing because that’s everybody in this administration middle name!

Seven months ago, Ukrainian officials tried to sell the WH the tech to destroy Iran’s inexpensive, low-flying drones, even compiling a PowerPoint presentation about it.

The decision to snub the offer is now being called one of the biggest miscalculations thus far in the lead-up to the Iran war.

It seems to be a real common problem, particularly amongst the tech rows, and this administration. They think because they were good at one thing they are good at everything and not a one of them is capable of making a connection. They don’t see the forest all they see is trees.

This entire Administration is congenitally incapable of planning or research. The level of incompetence is genuinely stunning.

Judge blocks subpoenas against Fed Chair Jerome Powell citing 'essentially zero evidence' Powell said the subpoenas were related to his testimony before the Senate in June about the renovation of Federal Reserve office buildings.

NEW: Boasberg blocks subpoenas in Powell’s case. "A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning.” www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

Hegseth ignored military officials when he slashed offices that limit risk to civilians The Defense secretary’s decision to cut offices that mitigate civilian harm faces renewed attention as the Pentagon investigates a strike that killed hundreds of Iranian children.

BREAKING: Pete Kegstand IGNORED the CENTCOM chief and the Chair and Vice Chair of the Joint Chiefs opposition to GUTTING offices that limit civilian casualties, calling them "stupid." He fired and replaces all opposed. Politico with the exclusive: www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
