Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

The photos of the Hong Kong fire are heartbreaking. What makes it even worse is knowing that the lack of press freedom and the absence of democratically elected leaders will only hinder a real investigation and meaningful accountability. 香港平安!香港加油!

4 flats on fire in Hong Kong, flames still coming out of them, and yet 3 members of the construction company have already been arrested and charged with manslaughter.

How many people have red or blue tories arrested over grenfell tower which was destroyed 8 years ago?

Though honestly I think the tail risk scenarios here are pretty bleak simply because Trump is clearly dying and would like the United States to be buried with him like the attendants of a heathen god-king, so why not burn NATO on the way out?

The black hole in Durham County Council’s budget has grown by £11.1mn in the past two months under the control of Reform UK.

Its cabinet has been forced to approve a £10mn list of cuts.

‘Generations’ is a bit négative, isn’t it? Overnight, no, agreed.
We could start by Labour removing its red lines, apologising for the vile rhetoric of the past, and signalling that we see the EU as a positive force and we want to be a contributing part of our own continent again.

In this interview, we learn all about Mike Johnson's attitude towards mayonnaise and bananas, but we also learn that the NYT's interviewer is incapable of asking him a serious question about anything. Which reflects rather more on NYT than it does on Johnson.

Wow! Pam Bondi tried to backdate the appointment of Lindsey Halligan putting her at risk of getting fired and disbarred. She may be the most corrupt head of the DOJ since well Bill Barr who also worked for Trump.

Trump is insane & needs to be removed from office immediately & institutionalized ASAP if not STAT‼️ AMERICA DESERVES A PRESIDENT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ISN’T INSANE, GETTING REVENGE, & IS OVERTHROWING OUR DEMOCRACY, CONSTITUTION, AND FREEDOM- TRUTH MATTERS‼️

Reeves is moving the UK away from a European values economy & aligning us ever closer to a Yank style one. You cannot move poorer earners into paying tax & deny you're hurting the more vulnerable whilst protecting the financially strongest. Fuck off Labour. You're now a less slick Tory Party.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

This really should be the red line all Americans understand (even the stupidest ones and yes that's a very low bar). If you don't stop Trump right now, he will kill your democracy and your freedoms and your rights. Kill them stone dead. Your call.

I don't know, is being treatened with incarceration by your GOVERNMENT for saying something as basic as 'don't break our laws' really being reduced to a freedom of speech issue? It seems a far more serious situation when the President is DEMANDING illegal obedience.What is more dangerous than that?

“We ask a lot of those who put their lives on the line defending our nation. The least we can do is respect their free speech rights once they’ve retired,” David Cole writes.

The Georgia prosecutor has dropped the charges against Trump and his co-conspirators who plotted to steal 11,780 votes in Georgia so he could overturn the 2020 election.
Peter Skandalakis appointed himself the prosecutor in the case after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was removed.

Fani Willis did nothing wrong. Once again the Trump Gulag created an issue where none existed & the MSM (ignorant journalists who insist they are experts on topics they know nothing about nor research) and gov officials & legal profs jump on the bandwagon. Our country is ruled by greed and dishonor.
