After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Turns out it’s the corporate giants that are the REAL welfare queens.
Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

Has a single reporter asked anyone on Team Trump about why it's OK to bomb little boats that "might" have drugs on them while pardoning one of the biggest drug dealers we've managed to convict?
Maybe I missed it, but has even one Republican in Congress spoken out against Trump’s corrupt pardon of a guy convicted of helping funnel more than 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S.?

National public health “leadership” (hi RFK Jr 🙄) keeps poisoning public health with lies.
Vaccines prevent needless childhood deaths.
No baby in America should be dying of whooping cough — not when we have safe, effective vaccines literally ready to go.

“Daylight Saving Time shifts light from morning to the end of the day. That is damaging because morning light is the big signal for our body clocks, which regulate sleep/wake cycles, mood, gene expression, hormones, and metabolism.”

Most Americans will have to roll back their clocks by an hour this weekend as the country makes the biannual switch even though most people want to stop.

Permanent Standard Time preserves natural morning light; it’s the only safe way to ditch the switch! Permanent DST would darken mornings past 8am for 3+ months in most states (to 9am in many), which costs lives and money when tried. #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime
