What we know about the attack on two Minnesota lawmakers - BBC News The attack on two Minnesota state lawmakers in their homes was described as politically motivated.

Assasinations of state senators is NOT common. Maybe if our intelligence agencies and military were doing their jobs, tracking threats online for example, this may have been avoided. Instead, they’re tracking Jose’s bodega and Jesus’s fruit stand #FAIL

Service members not walking in formation, especially during a military parade meant to prop up a fascist, speaks volumes to me.

Curious what others think.

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

Airliners abort landings as Army helicopter makes β€˜scenic’ loop around Pentagon The Black Hawk was trying to land at the Pentagon’s heliport, bringing it close to a pair of airliners, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Two airliners abandoned landing attempts at Washington’s Reagan National Airport on Thursday afternoon when an Army Black Hawk took a β€œscenic route” near the flight path and circled the Pentagon before landing at a military heliport.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens.

The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million β€” more than 3x what it made a year ago.

Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?
