Hannah reminds us why we have a cabinet with "talents" like Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem, RFKJr and Pam Bondi...

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Appeals Court Says Alina Habba Is Unlawful U.S. Attorney

Sorry to be a broken record but it's nuts to me that the New York Times would write an entire article summarizing a court ruling and refuse to provide a link to said ruling. This is a disservice to readers. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/n...

Here's the ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

πŸ“ŒTrump announced that South Africa would not be invited to next year’s Group of 20 summit in the U.S.

He is doing this for one reason -- and one reason only -- he is a bigot, and so is the majority of his grotesque core support, who are fueled by racism.

This is sickening, and must be called out.

Just started this but I've only seen two episodes. I almost dropped it in the first episode but gave it another chance in episode 2. Now I'm facing her lying to work there?

Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.

Just like some jurisdictions have begun to outlaw "revenge porn", this type of thing needs to be illegal. It's a profound violation of people's basic right to privacy.

Also worth noting, these kinds of technological applications don't work on photos of men. That is not an accident.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.
