J.D. Vance’s foreign policy: When restraint meets culture war Vance is shaping up to be America’s most influential vice president since Dick Cheney—but that’s where the similarities between them end…

If Vance was in charge, he likely would not have agreed—as his boss did in August—to continue selling weapons to Europe for Ukraine through NATO’s new Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL), writes Majda Ruge

One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”

"The near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens combined with the lack of an available legal workforce, results in significant disruptions to production costs and threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S consumers," according to a Department of Labor report.

A screenshot of the FEC filing.

A screenshot of the FEC filing.

Al Franken's campaign donated $100,000 to Jose Andres's World Central Kitchen in August, per new FEC filing.

Stands out as many defunct campaigns tend to donate to partisan causes or monuments to the candidate.

"It’s horrifying that in 2025, American Catholics are effectively being forced to worship in fear or even underground— looking over their shoulders for ICE agents as they exit Sunday Mass."

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Jewish law & Bible scholarship don't think the word in the 10 Commandments for "steal" is about, like, shoplifting.

Look at eg Genesis 40:15, Exodus 21:16 , Deuteronomy 24:7--

the commandment is not to steal people. Don't kidnap.

Though you shouldn't need the Bible to teach you that. #AbolishICE

Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

This is 100% correct. There is definitely a long history of Nazi-adjacent fascism in the US, and the political dimensions of that history occurred on the fringes of the GOP as those fascists tried to get a foothold in that institution...but the last 10 years mark a significant break in that history.

I know there is dismay over the possible fate of the VRA, but I also think people underestimate just how pissed people have become in just 10 months at a government that has gone out of its way to inflict harm.

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.
