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.

More softening the ground for "boots on the ground."

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 “the 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.

Apparently the CIA is working to arm kurdish forces to spark an uprising in Iran.
Even typing this message demonstrate to me just how inept this admin ...
If the CIA was operating professionally this would be a done stealthily.

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

Their stories must be told.

Spain denies cooperating with U.S. military operations in Middle East, contradicting White House A diplomatic tussle between the United States and Spain over the war in Iran intensified on Wednesday when the governments exchanged contradictory statements over the possible use of Spanish military ...

Moments after a White House spokesperson said the Spanish government in Madrid had agreed to help the U.S., Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares came out and flatly denied that the European government had changed its position. https://to.pbs.org/3OQpCS7

Thank you, Jan.

Stokes’ Firing Over Kirk Post Chilled Speech at University of Mississippi, Faculty Testify The University of Mississippi’s firing of Lauren Stokes for sharing a post criticizing Charlie Kirk chilled speech on campus, faculty testified.

A chill fell across the University of Mississippi’s campus when Chancellor Glenn Boyce fired Lauren Stokes for sharing a post that called Charlie Kirk a racist.

It left faculty afraid to speak their minds, several testified in federal court, where Stokes is challenging her termination.

„Trump administration officials told lawmakers during a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge and US air defenses will not be able to intercept them all, according to a source in the briefing.“

I say it often but no matter what happens, if the world blows up or we succeed in building something better - there is no other place or way I’d rather live this era. I am so proud that Canada is in the forefront on trying to build a better world.

We just blew up an Iranian ship in international waters and left all of the survivors to drown.

This is who we are now.

NEW: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States has asked Ukraine for help intercepting Iranian-made Shahed drones, citing Ukraine’s battlefield expertise. Zelenskyy said any assistance will come only if it does not weaken Ukraine’s own defenses.

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.

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?

We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.

Take away his car keys...along with the nuclear codes.

Here’s the truth:
Every woman has had that feels “normal” now
was once called “too much.”

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

We are not asking.
We are not waiting.
We are not done. 🔥
