Do you know anyone in the Middle East right now?

It's scary.

It's like a scene out of a disaster movie. The worse thing is that the Americans there are getting almost no help from our government.

Some desperate people are paying up to $232,000 for tickets on chartered flights out of Dubai.

STOP. LISTEN. Seriously.

Maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong. Maybe this has to be dismantled from the bottom up. This rank corruption.

There needs to be a serious IMPEACH NOEM demand. These hearings have made any other choice complicity.

Honestly I gotta hand it to Trump. If someone had told me they had a plan to get 23% of the GOP to support abolishing ICE I would have called them a liar.

Any democrat who isn't all in on this is either deeply committed to cruelty or has the political instincts of a half-baked potato.

There Is More Than One Way to Kill Mail-in Voting On Tuesday in Texas, Democratic voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties, Texas, had their work cut out for them if they wanted to vote.

We shouldn’t have to fight just to be able to exercise a right, but primary night in Texas made it clear we will have to. Here’s what you need to know and how to get ready to do it.

I’m trying to imagine what would happen if a Democratic senator literally broke a military veteran’s forearm, which appears to be what happens here.

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

The CDC has just issued a Travel Health Notice specifically related to polio popping up in about 30 countries.

They recommend making sure you’re up to date on your vaccinations, and if you are traveling to one of the countries in red, you should consider a booster.

Single Daily Tablet Shows Powerful Results for People With Drug-Resistant HIV A large international clinical trial has unveiled a promising new option for people living with highly treatment-resistant HIV.

A development such as this has been a goal for HIV researchers for decades. It is important because people who are faced with difficult treatment regimens are less likely to be compliant.

Why MAGA suddenly loves solar power The Trump-led attack on solar eases as the right reckons with its crucial role in powering AI and keeping utility bills from spiraling.

President Trump once called solar panels β€œthe scam of the century.”

But as the U.S. experiences a larger increase in electricity demand to power AI, Trump supporters like Katie Miller, Newt Gingrich and Kellyanne Conway are backing the solar industry.

We’ve got to keep the Epstein victims and survivors centered while we pursue transparency and accountability.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Every woman has had that feels β€œnormal” now

She was too much.
And that’s exactly why she changed everything.
