Opinion: Why I'm handing in my Pentagon press pass Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says.

Indigenous nations plan a tariff-free trade corridor across the US-Canada border “We’re not begging for crumbs anymore. We’re demanding what’s rightly ours."

Just west of Fort Qu’Appelle in Saskatchewan, the Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation is working across the US border to revive centuries-old trade routes as part of a new Indigenous-governed trade corridor.

Trump Administration Is Bringing Back Scores of C.D.C. Experts Fired in Error

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

1000% will certainly boost sales.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

While ripping healthcare from Americans,
FASCIST felon Donald Trump agreed to spend U.S. taxpayer money on:

1. QATAR Emiri Air Force facility & pilot training in U.S. www.cnn.com/2025/10/10/p....

2. $20 billion ARGENTINA "bailout" (dollars for worthless pesos). www.msnbc.com/top-stories/....

CamelCamelCamel tracks prices, but doesn't capture deals from coupons, 2x reward points, or $xx credit toward future purchases.
You don't need a $139 subscription to get Prime deals. A $1.99 trial week qualifies.
One thing I've never seen before was an extra 35% off the used item price.

Good lord.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Trump Sure Picked Some Interesting People Not to Furlough for Shutdown A key team will stay up and running during the shutdown.

All 45 staffers at the "Department of Government Efficiency" were apparently too valuable to lose, as the agency was completely unscathed by the temporary employment suspension. trib.al/xPElaZu

Meanwhile, he furloughed 89% of the EPA, 87% Dept. of Ed, and 71% of HUD.

Trump officials discussed sending elite Army division to Portland, text messages show A high-ranking White House official was indiscreetly texting about the Portland, Ore., planning last weekend, according to messages shared with the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Long Covid Risk for Children Doubles After a Second Infection, Study Finds

Sounds like Louisiana's surgeon general has been a politician too long. It's absurd to claim "virtually every parent in the U.S." knows giving Covid shots for healthy children is "a very bad idea". That his own state's pharmacists are frustrated suggests that's not even true for Louisiana.

KFF graphic titled "In Response to Changes in Federal Vaccine Policy Under the Trump Administration, 26 States Recently Moved to Allow Pharmacists to Give COVID-19 Shots Without a Prescription." The graphic lists the 26 states: Arizona, California*, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois*, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland*, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota*, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington, D.C.*, Wisconsin. *California, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington, D.C., also recently moved to allow pharmacists to administer other vaccines without a prescription.

As of last Monday, 26 states implemented or announced updates to their COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccine policies, providing broader access than current federal limits.

I suspect we'd notice the generous govt checks in the mail once Rx cost reductions exceeded 100%, without needing experts to tell us. Although I didn't miss Trump's usual shift from done to gonna be done.

Punctuation isn't the problem.
I would have expected "of course" instead of "experts say."

Fascinating how the highest heights of the White House jumped on condemning the ICE shooting today but still has not said a word about the CDC shooting. Political violence is an emergency that our nation has to face. Silence from our leaders is complicit. #CDC #publichealth
