Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Tulsi Gabbard tweet from 2019: Trump says he doesn't want war with Iran, but that's exactly what he wants, because that's exactly what Saudi Arabia, Netanyahu, al-Qaeda, Bolton, Haley, and other NeoCons/NeoLibs want. That’s what he put first--not America.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.

The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

He did this with the enthusiastic support of the entire Republican party and conservative movement ... the support of a plurality of American voters."

DoE Hands the Keys to Strategic Crude Oil Stockpile to New Firm | OilPrice.com The Department of Energy has awarded a new $1.4 billion contract to Strategic Storage Partners, LLCβ€”hardly a household nameβ€”to manage the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

The Trump administration's Department of Energy has handed management of America's strategic petroleum reserve to a "little-known company" after what it calls a "rigorous competitive process."

The contract for this company β€” charitably described as a "lesser-known name" β€” is worth $1.4 billion.

Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump
Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump).
	β€’	Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges.
	β€’	Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side.
	β€’	A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush.
	β€’	The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.

1/🧡 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trumpβ€”it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.
