This week, news outlets reported that the Administration wants to CUT the total number of in-person visits to Social Security field offices by HALF next year. Looks like SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano lied when he told the Senate that field offices would remain open.

Europe paid $12 billion per month to Russia at the start of the Ukraine war for oil & gas. Today, it is $1.5 billion (Ursula vod der Leyen per BBC.) Fantastic accomplishment. The goal is 0 by 2027. Europeans worked hard to get here. Russia’s economic situation is abysmal. Keep up the pressure!

So incompetent, they can't even get their murderous lies straight.
Last week: In response to WaPo’s story on the Sept. 2 boat strikes, the Pentagon says “This entire narrative is completely false.”
Today: The White House confirms that a 2nd strike happened and that “Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes”

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

It is important for all of us to support this group and other similar groups like the ACLU, Democratic Attorneys General Assoc. (dems.ag/)- not just financially, if we can, but in every way. Warmest congratulations to Democracy Defenders.

Today is World Aids Day, but this US Government has ordered that it not be commemorated. Not only that, but a new Aids drug that performed excellently in trials, will not be made available by the US to South Africa. The new drug requires only two injections per year. The US under Trump & crew sick

Yes, and that's the point. The "shipwrecked" can't retreat...they are floating helplessly in the water. They are no longer posing a risk to the other side. They must be saved & treated humanely unless there is a real risk of harm to the saving side in doing to. ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treat...
