At least 26 Palestinians were killed after Israeli forces opened fire near a Gaza aid distribution center, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said

"Can the president read" is going to get buried under "the president believes his predecessor was killed before assuming office and was replaced by a clone." When people talk about authoritarianism with American characteristics, these are the American characteristics.

it is jarring to know in detail how many people, including many senior elected officials, simply don't care how millions of people in and out of the US will unnecessarily suffer and die for the second time in five years

headline construction masterclass

"Getting rid of USAID is a very easy way of winning headlines... But if your one accomplishment in government is to rip funds away from the neediest, so that they can die, so they can be unmedicated, so that they can starve, that is a moral stain that I hope will haunt you 'til the day you die."

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

May as well just shut down the NIH. There is absolutely no way that it survives such a thing. How will you kill 24 out of 27 institutes and expect America's premier research hub to survive??

They're banking on Americans being stupid enough to fall for this argument, which sadly many will.

Pope Leo XIV condemned the exploitation of the poor and called for unity in the church during his inaugural Mass in St. Peter’s Square, an event attended by world leaders, royalty and tens of thousands of believers

Ah yes. The radical left totally has an influence over this particular Supreme Court filled with right-wing ideologues.

Up is down indeed.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV calls for peace in Ukraine, a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza in his first Sunday noon appeal.

So much for being a Christian nation.

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

EXCLUSIVE: Two DOGE employees have access to a network used to transmit classified nuclear weapons data and a separate network used by the Department of Defense, sources tell NPR.

They're here for the crisis. It's the only way that they wouldn't be bored. No need to point out that a third term isn't a thing that should be entertained even in jest.

Carroll County...no wonder it always felt a way driving through there. I'm actually surprised a little by Frederick. The rest track.

As Maryland’s Republican sheriffs have rushed to join ICE's 287(g) program, more than 1.1 million Marylanders, nearly a fifth of the state, now live in 287(g) counties. Learn more: boltsmag.org/marylan...

A majority of American adults disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president, according to a new NBC News Stay Tuned Poll, powered by SurveyMonkey. Sixty percent of Americans said the U.S. is on the wrong track, compared to 40% who said it’s on the right track. nbcnews.to/3RF37xH

Shouls have replaced him the fiest time, but you know, lawlessness rulea the day with these people.

The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

Much of the world wakes up to the news of Pope Francis' death. NBC News' Claudio Lavanga reports from the Vatican. nbcnews.app.link/Ns8zcv15JSb

It’s been *exactly* 90 days since these baboons took office so capping it all off with SignalGate 2 is WILD

Never seen it framed this way by all recent elections Wild

Analytic philosophy ass dis

Sure. I'm to believe that he's 224 and that every last of his vitals are within normal range. Believe not what our eyes and ears are telling us.

These signs are glorious!😂

TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.

Hot damn, Steven Horsford just set fire to Trump's U.S. Trade Representative Jameison Greer over Trump's idiotic and costly tariff play.

Fox Business Sr. correspondent: "I want to tell you Donald Trump outsmarted the world, but that's not really what happened here" "Make no mistake about it you cannot divorce this decision from what happened last night. ... Those markets were imploding last night, and that's why we have a freeze"

The lesson other countries are showing America is that…you stand up to Trump. You stand up to bullies. You never cave. Learn the lesson.

There was no need for Gasparino to qualify what he was going to say first with "...because I'm a patriot." Supporting a felon who is wrecking our government doesn't make you a patriot. But maybe that's just me.

how america is to everybody

Too many folks out here who let the perfect be the enemy of the good still have learned no lessons. And we wonder why this country is where it is right now.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

You guys wanna see a dead body 🤣💀

🥲🥲

I would be making a big deal out of this if I were an elected Democrat

All I'll say is that people know where many of these people live.

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.
