Trump sending the National Guard and Marines into LA was about normalizing the military policing of American cities. Now he’s trying it again in DCβ€”reports say he’s deploying hundreds of National Guard troops tomorrow morning.

Dangerous shit.

"...one of UnitedHealth’s many lobbyists is Ballard Partners, which is the closest lobby shop to the Trump White House and the former employer of Attorney General Pam Bondi."

In L.A., police nightsticks are clubbing press freedom to death | Will Bunch On Friday, LAPD cops allegedly battered and detained journalists at a protest β€” the ugliest of the many threats to U.S. press freedom.

The press freedom crisis in America isn't only billionaires bowing down at big outlets like CBS, the Post. In L.A., elsewhere, indie journalists at protests are getting beat up or arrested by cops, a chilling sign of an authoritarian U.S. police state

No, he’s not giving Putin Alaska, but he is giving Putin a huge gift: the legitimacy of touching down on US soil at the invitation of a US president. A reward for the full-scale invasion of a sovereign, democratic country that the United States and its European allies support.

CPJ calls for Anas Al-Sharif’s protection in face of Israeli smears - Committee to Protect Journalists New York, July 24, 2025β€”The Committee to Protect Journalists is gravely worried about the safety of Al Jazeera Arabic’s Gaza correspondent Anas Al-Sharif, who is being targeted by an Israeli military ...

Just two weeks ago, the Committee to Protect Journalists called for Anas Al-Sharif’s protection.

He was subject to repeated Israeli smears that were believed to be the precursor to his assassination.

The IDF have admitted they targeted him tonight. Because they know there will be no repercussions.

She was the last: Penguin starvation crisis sparks call for emergency fishing ban The fate of the hoiho - among the world’s rarest penguin species - rests with two ministers.

Pulled lifeless from a commercial fishing net off the Otago coast, the adult female yellow-eyed penguin had drowned in a silent, unseen death.

She was the last known breeding-age female Hoiho from the Sandfly Bay colony.

Luxurious UK manor JD Vance is set to stay in during family visit The Cotswolds, often dubbed 'the Hamptons of England,' are swarming with anticipation and security agents as Vice President JD Vance's luxurious summer plans begin in the UK.

Add the pricey English manor to the growing list of Vance vacations: skiing in Vermont, sightseeing in Rome, a family trip to Disneyland, and a kayaking outing where he had the military raise the river’s water level just for him.
