The drinking water of German Navy frigate F221 HESSEN was contaminated with used oil in a suspected sabotage. This is another case besides several already known sabotages.

As we prepare for the Republicans to completely gut Medicaid, be aware that the The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act requires hospitals to treat patients regardless of insurance or ability to pay. Hospitals are going to fold and EVERYONE'S medical care will go up.

Yes, track your payments. But SS is a payroll tax that pays for current entitlements. It’s not a savings plan. Tax receipts currently exceed payouts. Surplus goes into U.S. Treasuries. You are entitled to payout when you qualify but it’s not “your” money you get back.

Absolutely this. McConnell thought that Trump would fizzle out and fade away. Or hoped that. So did lots of other Republicans

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Trump verbally claiming dictatorial status—including in a trollish “just joking (not really joking)” style— is not a distraction from the Trump administration dismantling Constitutional checks and balances in pursuit of dictatorial power. How head-in-the-sand must you be to think those unrelated?

Genuinely incredible piece of reporting here that makes the story completely unimpeachable. They sat in the back of an immigration courtroom and watched the guy pull out his personal phone and post to his racist account DURING the hearing!

the MAGA cult is lost without mass deprogramming, but I suspect the coming cascading failures of essential systems will make an impression on the kind of floaty, marginally-informed independents that often swing elections

In remarks to reporters Tuesday and in a social media post on Wednesday, Trump made numerous false claims about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Russian war on Ukraine – some of which echoed inaccurate talking points from Vladimir Putin. Here is a fact check of some of his assertions.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

This absolutely will make flying less safe. Maybe not today. But inevitably. Conceivably this will finally get public attention? About the danger of just blowing up structures built with care over decades? Maybe some GOP Sen/Rep will think: "I'd rather not be on the wrong side of this one"?

Amazing that a CRJ did a barrel roll and everyone lived. Note: not an FAA thing, this was Canadian ATC and a very snowy runway. Either pilot error or insufficient runway clearing.

"We invested into this vision of what he stood for, and the old mission was for Tesla to build the sustainable future," Kevin Smith, a longtime shareholder who recently sold all his stock, told WaPo. "I bought into the scam and that’s on me — but now he’s doing the same thing to the country."

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

Follow up: VA layoffs were told "The agency finds, based on your performance, that you have not demonstrated that your further employment at the agency would be in the public interest." This to folks with 12y experience who had changed role. So yeah, they thought it was a disciplinary thing.
