13 HIV/AIDS activists arrested on Capitol Hill Protesters demanded full PEPFAR funding

Delay = death.

Trump/Rubio/Vought are sitting on a billion dollars that's meant for treatment and prevention of HIV internationally. Congress (controlled by Republicans) appropriated the funds and rejected rescissions. www.washingtonblade.com/2026/03/05/1...

The Justice Department has posted online three FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against Trump that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files released by the DOJ.

Trump has consistently denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. https://cnn.it/47ry28K

hahahahahahaha

AND IT SEEMS TO ME / YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE / LIKE A CANDLE IN THE WIND

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

*Desperate need for new independent media sources - follow nonprofit or other models
