This diagram is in Polish, but fairly easy to understand.

The upper section is U.S. assistance for Ukraine during the Biden and Trump admin

The lower is russian drone and missile attacks during the same time frame

Tell me more about how Trump's negotiations are working.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.

Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.

A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.

“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress, according to a federal lawsuit.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

My favorite spot in the new T1 at the San Diego airport? The terrace.

The major flaw with the claim that Trump's foreign policy is "realist" is the fact that it is so deeply ideological. There is no "realist" case for driving South Africa into China's embrace, rather than competing for its partnership. The only reason Trump is doing so is based on racist memes.

I am running out of ways to convey how disconnected from reality Trump's judicial nominees are. They can't say that Trump lost the 2020 election, they won't say that the January 6 insurrection happened, they don't acknowledge any fact about anything if Trump hasn't authorized them to believe it

Judges have to decide cases based on facts. For Trump judges, the only facts that matter are the ones that he authorizes them to believe.

Trump's mass deportation plan destroyed the U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota.

Why were they even in Minnesota? Trump saw news reports reacting to the incel influencer who falsely claimed that there was a lot of daycare fraud.

Today, @nytimes.com gave that incel influencer a glowing profile.

This chyron is going to give me a heart attack. No, the murder rate is not at the lowest level since 1900. The US did not begin measuring a national murder rate until 1958. It was the lowest on record but hard to compare 2025 with years where it wasn't measured.

Parents are limiting their activities as legislatures kowtow to noisy crackpots who think they have a right to subject kids to fatal diseases and that ppl must adjust their lives to accommodate delusions. MAHA is a conspiratorial health populist movement attempting to exert control. Understand that.
As the CDC removes vaccines from its childhood schedule, vaccination rates decline and measles spreads, parents are trying to figure out how to keep their children safe — including, in some cases, by limiting their activities or seeking vaccinations early. I talked to a number of them. Gift link:
