Tr*mp just claimed he can appropriate $10 billion from US coffers to his new group falsely named "board of peace." NO HE CANNOT by law. He just claimed he would take $10 billion from US taxpayers for purposes not allowed by our Constitution. His corruption gets worse.

Adoptive parents 'in crisis' living with traumatised children A mum says she has been physically attacked by her daughter and is reaching "breaking point".

And yet another BBC story blaming #Adoptees for "harming" their adopters. We know globally adoptees are at extremely high risk of physical/sexual abuse, based on extensive media documentation of harm by adopters. BBC has done good stories about adoptees, but this isn't. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Iran is worldโ€™s oldest country based on organized government TEHRAN - In a newly revisited global ranking published by the World Population Review, Iran has been officially recognized as the oldest country in the world in terms of its earliest known organized government and sovereign identity, dating back to 3200 BC.

Fun fact for today.

Librarian here. We grant library cards to ALL residents, no matter their age or legal status. Our ID requirements pertain to establishing residency only. Do not invoke libraries, which embrace *everyone* in its civic fold, as a precedent for measures designed to *suppress* civic participation.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

YouTube video by Katie Phang Epstein NM Ranch UNDER INVESTIGATION After DAMNING Evidence REVEALED

New Mexico is pursuing long-overdue answers by investigating Jeffrey Epsteinโ€™s Zorro Ranch through a new subcommittee that was just created by the New Mexico House.

Iโ€™ve got the details, including why the stateโ€™s AGโ€™s Office stopped investigating Epstein back in 2019.

I asked one doctor at the clinic I used to work at, and he actually said he'd never thought about it. A seasoned medical doctor. Crazy
