What folks who say "normal" families don't need public health interventions mean is that sickness is the appropriate punishment for poverty, and that the government helping those people out is not just financially wasteful but morally illegitimate

In their confirmation hearings, RFK Jr pledged he would not be anti-vax, Hegseth said he respected women serving in leadership positions in the military, and Bondi said she would not weaponize DOJ against Trump’s political enemies.

Child Separation is in full swing. Where are these kids actually being taken and what’s going to happen to them? There is no oversight or accountability. What’s happening to the children?!?!

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the count...

Nonsense! I'm sure that—as claimed by the least honest presidential administration in U.S. history—at no point in the 41 minutes between the first war crime and the second did the man overseeing the operation make any effort to contact for further instructions the {squints at notes} Secretary of War
Himes: "What worries me is what causes a man of real integrity & w/ a storied professional history like the admiral to order this strike? My guess is it has something to do w/ the secretary of defense who writes a book about how we need a lot less ethics and lawyers involved & a lot more lethality."

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

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

From the Editorial Board: The impulse to help families is worthy. But a program that delivers money 18 years from now while adding to today’s debt burden isn’t a solution to the affordability crisis parents face today.

People who have seen video of the U.S. military’s first boat strike in September in the Caribbean Sea said two survivors climbed atop the overturned hull and waved to something overhead. The new detail further complicates the military’s explanations for its actions during the strike.

Trump has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a boon for big corporations.

His Big Ugly Bill, which slashed Medicaid and SNAP, also gave corporations $16B in new depreciation tax breaks this year.

A windfall for the wealthy at your expense.

Putin has once again mentioned Novorossiya. In an interview ahead of his visit to India, he stressed that, in any case, Russia will 'liberate' Donbas and Novorossiya by military or other means.

It is telling that Putin is now speaking not only about the Donetsk region.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

The Indiana state House just passed a new congressional map that'd make the state's delegation all Republican (9-0, up from 7-2 now).

Now, up to the Senate, which has been resistant: They're taking it up Monday. www.wishtv.com/news/politic...

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."
