Hmm. NY Times popup saying "support independent journalism."

I... do not think of the NY Times as being "independent journalism" which implies smaller, outside the mainstream. The NYT is the most mainstream of mainstream news orgs.

Brooke Rollins of the USDA, announced that any state refusing to hand over their SNAP data, including immigration status, will have their food aid frozen.
Give us your immigrant info or your children, seniors, families, don’t eat.
This isn’t policy. It’s extortion with a USDA letterhead.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

In this article about likely hacking of Tennessee's special election Tues, look closely at the graph. Note how as one moves right, where more total votes are counted, the GOP suddenly spikes up to 65-70% of vote totals. This is a clear pattern of hacking.

There is blood on the hands of Donald Trump, RFK, and every Republican who has allowed this sham to go on for far too long. When kids die unnecessarily and once-eradicated diseases darken the doors of terrified families and pediatricians, Americans will know who is responsible.
