Ancient Chinese fish fossils fill key gap in 'fish to human' evolution Fossils of two fish from over 400 million years ago – one a tiny streamlined creature, the other a giant among vertebrates of its time with bizarre teeth – have been discovered in China, filling a cri...

We've never defended Ukraine the way we defend Israel. Israel has more influence over the American government than Americans do.

GOP senator joins police in ejecting anti-war protester from Capitol Hill hearing A Senate Republican assisted several police officers in ejecting a man who interrupted a Capitol Hill hearing on Wednesday to object to the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran.

This fascist scum Senator... the nerve. Republicans are worse than the Russians and Israelis.

Anastasia #Zakharova is playing solid tennis against Ella #Seidel. Not sure you could be more dominant in a match minus leaving some bagels behind. #WTA #IndianWells

#Diallo has a great game. I just wonder if he's got the movement and stamina to withstand the top 25 men's game.

#Potapova is hanging on, but man #Stakusic is fun to watch. She's really playing well this year.

This is the letter US senators sent requesting an official investigation into DOJ leadership blocking a civil-rights probe into the killing of Renee Good. The letter asks the Justice Department’s IG and Office of Professional Responsibility to determine who ordered the investigation stopped and why.

Our government is a fucking joke. There is literally no rule of law left. This is not a Constitutional Republic. This is not a democracy. This is an authoritarian oligarchy. Fuck every Democrat that pretends like any of this is OK or procedurally legitimate.

He Almost Died From A Burst Appendix. A For-Profit Jail Medical Provider Dismissed It As Heartburn. A new lawsuit in York County, Pennsylvania, highlights a pattern of allegations of medical neglect by for-profit correctional healthcare company PrimeCare.

Willie Cunningham nearly died after his appendix burst while he was incarcerated in Pennsylvania's York County Prison. Nurses working for the jail's for-profit healthcare provider told him he just had heartburn, @elizabethweill.bsky.social reports. theappeal.org/york-county-...

I don't think we'll get bogged down to be honest. Trump doesn't care about our troops, or about Israelis or Iranians. He just wants to look strong breaking some shit. Even if the whole thing is a failure (like Venezuela) he'll call it a great success, lock it down, and move on to the next problem.

Spanish prime minister after Trump trade threats: Spain says β€œno to war” President Donald Trump said most of Iran’s military installations have been β€œknocked out” and that new strikes targeted Iranian leadership. Follow for live updates.

Just say no to war. Look, when the Trumps, the Republicans, and the Israelis are telling you war is good, you know it's bad. It's not just bad, it's catastrophic. Is the Iranian government any better than Israel and the USA? Of course not. But this isn't the way to change things.

I understand why all these creatures crave power. They are all narcissistic sociopaths. What I don't understand is how a normal homo sapien living in the United States of America in 2026 and truly being more intelligent than monkeys, could look at them and go, "FUCK YEAH! I voted for this!" HOW?!?!?

No active member from the Trump Universe comes off as normal. They are all creatures from a dystopian timeline. Half of them are borderline Bond Villains. It's like they are all cosplaying some fascist caricature for the cameras. The fact that a single American could follow them... humiliating.

Garcia: "The truth is that Donald Trump and Republicans have cut billions of dollars from healthcare and food assistance, and used that money to hire officers who are now terrorizing cities and killing Americans. That's where our taxpayer dollars have gone."

RAJU: You'll concede this is war?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us

RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war

REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war

MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.

I would imagine more Europeans understand this than Americans, but that's just because Americans live in a mythological "reality" of perpetual manifest destiny. All Americans view themselves as the rightful heirs of the Revolution, the Founders, Framers, and great presidents. Delusional.
