Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory unscathed by Eaton fire, but not its workforce One-fifth of the NASA facility's staff was forced to evacuate, director Laurie Leshin said.

How the fire affected NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory: About 210 employees lost their homes. Others were displaced by damage to their neighborhoods. Employees kept the institution running, some putting worst-case emergency training to use. @corinnepurtill.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

Another clear-eyed report from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social. If you are not subscribed to @status.news, you frankly are missing what is really happening to legacy media.

Explaining in Five Paragraphs the Scam Donald Trump Just Pulled on 150 Million American TikTok Users Make no mistake, one of the most popular apps in the world was just down in the U.S. for 14 hours because Donald Trump ordered that it be taken down. Why? So he could be seen as a hero in “saving” it.

I hope this helps clear up what just happened. It is short, free, and sourced.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

call me crazy but I don't believe trump's net worth increased by $32 billion because he launched a pump and dump memecoin scam yesterday, and accounting for it that way on any kind of paper including press reports is deeply silly

No amount of money or power is worth going on national television and calling Donald Trump “Daddy.” I would spontaneously combust from embarrassment. I could never show my face in public again. I would exile myself in the Himalayas bruh this is flabbergasting

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.

But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
