‘Long-overdue validation’: CDC formally recognizes Gulf War illness The symptoms affect up to a third of the 700,000 troops deployed during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm more than 30 years ago.

Brilliant. I had friends who were sick almost immediatel—hardcore, annoyingly gung-ho friends who were just debilitated. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Opinion | Troops Could Help Portland if They Rented Office Space Trump’s dispatch of National Guard troops to Portland is another dangerous step toward politicizing America’s military forces.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“Cycling in the buff is a Portland specialty, and one organization has announced a naked ride ‘in response to the militarization of our city,’” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes. “Such is the war zone here.”

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth issued a series of new directives that will make it harder for women to serve in combat and easier for personnel to engage in hazing and bullying without repercussions.

Hegseth wants a gang of thugs, not a modern army.

So there.

Also, South Park.

Ha! It is possible that what the world needs now is a combat ballerina...

Neat.

Trump Appointees Roll Back Enforcement of Fair Housing Laws Interviews and internal documents show that signature civil rights protections in housing are being dismissed as ideologically driven and D.E.I. in disguise.

The Trump administration is limiting enforcement of fair housing laws, dismissing them as ideologically driven and DEI in disguise, according to interviews and internal documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Democrats now have a huge opening to go on the offensive. Between the RFK vaccine disaster, the Homan bribe, Trump's nakedly corrupt DM to Bondi, and Brendan Carr breaking the law, they should turn on the firehose. As should the press.

I went to Twitter just to check that this creepy Brendan Carr tweet is real, and of course it is. Like in Russia, far-right trolls have taken over

Tom Homan, who was later named President Trump’s border chief, was recorded in September 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI investigation, according to people familiar with the case, which was later closed by Trump administration officials.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.
