Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.
Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.
Shameful.

This is a deeply unprofessional and illegal partisan statement from the Trump hack who's currently director of the CIA.
It's also deeply dishonest, because the decision to grant the shooter asylum here was made by the Trump administration.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of whether appropriate asbestos mitigation occurred in the rushed tear down or are we just going to treat this as unknowable like so many other things with this president?
Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

Let me tell you what the upshot is from the now-dropped Georgia January 6 case:
A rich white man can with impunity plot to overthrow our government with 18 co-defendants—in a plot with a death toll—if a Black woman involved in the investigation had inadvisable sex.
*That* is how racist America is.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The extreme and psychotic overreaction by Trump and Stephen Miller to Democratic military vets in the Senate and House urging service members to remember that their oath is to the Constitution and not a man tells us a lot about the Trump admin’s plans for the military.

As Trump claims he wants the Epstein files released; keep in mind one doesn’t all of a sudden decide to release ‘tens of thousands’ of videos, photos and documents that show him and his pedo oligarch buddies raping little kids.

Donald Trump repeatedly told us that his tariffs would not increase prices for consumers.
So why on Earth is he lowering his tariffs on various foods?
Duh, because his tariffs raised prices.
Just another day with Don the Con.

Trump goes on defense over tariffs as prices on everyday items keep rising
The rollback of import taxes on coffee, bananas and many other foods is the latest sign that the administration could be forced to shift course.
