Have fun. Love the photo.

This is true. Unfortunately, Speaker Johnson very rarely visits that side. He prefers the other side, and to hide.

These two poll findings tell the story perfectly. Trump sending National Guard to cities is broadly unpopular (58% overall and 70% of independents oppose it) but it's popular among Republicans (79% support it). That last 21% of Republicans are alienated by MAGA violence, radicalism and hate.

Maybe we should ask who is the greater menace to national security, Trump or Monaco?

A reminder of how devastating many childhood infections can be and how easy it is to prevent them using safe and effective vaccines.

You don't say.

Don't let Trump distract you. Release the Epstein files!

Today's maths assignment:

If a drug costs $50 now, how much will it cost after reducing its price by 1,000 percent?

Lavrov:

The Russian army never strikes at civil society and the civilian population.

Liar. Warmonger. Criminal.

Technically speaking that's a view. Perhaps a bit dystopian and suicidal but still a view.

The total number of deaths in the world, all the countries, from any cause, is about 65 million per year.

Let's play "guess the country":

World Sepsis Day 2025: 400,000 babies die each year from this silent infection—Can it be stopped? World Sepsis Day 2025: Sepsis is a silent infection that takes 400,000 newborn lives every year. Weak immunity, delayed treatment, and drug resistance make it harder to save babies.

Today on World Sepsis Day, neonatal sepsis remains a major killer, taking over 400,000 newborn lives each year, driven by weak immunity, delayed care, and #AMR. Strengthening hygiene, diagnostics, and timely treatment is crucial to closing the survival gap.

Trump: "Things that take place in the home they call crime....If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this is a crime."

​​Trump Tried to Kill the Infrastructure Law. Now He’s Getting Credit for Its Projects.

This just keeps getting better.

Honey, weve all been there.

This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway.

Read all of it. He wrecks them:

Incredible. The midterms and 2028 should be a slam dunk, given the Trump record. And what do the DNC do? They go left.

Vance has apparently never heard of independent national banks.
