Everyone is 12 theory is correct, but we should also be taxonomizing the different kinds of 12-year-olds out and about in the world. There's the puerile preteen of course, but there's also the child who thinks adulthood is about being big, strong and married while consuming a high cholesterol diet.

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

What gives you hope in these awful times?

I’ll tell you my answer: the people of Minneapolis.

I haven’t seen it. I hope you don’t, either. But let's be real about what's going on here.

My purpose today is less to highlight this inane excuse for a film than to talk about its real excuse. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/melania-the-film-the-shame

A member of the Abu Dhabi royal family secretly invested $500 million into the Trump family’s crypto company, gaining a major ownership stake.

Months after inking the deal, the U.S. gave the UAE access to 500,000 advanced AI chips per year.

The corruption is breathtaking.

ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant.

This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.

Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.

-Gutted IRS staff, leaving fewer employees to assist taxpayers

-Deprioritized federal tax prosecutions, letting tax cheats off the hook

The Derailment That Never Ended Three years after the East Palestine disaster, everybody’s gotten paid — except the victims.

Welcome to America.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Trump claims he wants to cap credit card interest rates.

But before his announcement, his own regulators filed a legal brief opposing a Colorado law that would do just that.

The cruelty is endless.

If you are represented by Republicans — call them. They need to hear from you too.
