We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

What’s the opposite of a Nobel Peace Prize? I think we have a winner.

Al Jazeera has been reporting on the release of 46 Palestinian women and minors by Israeli authorities on Thursday. We spoke with members of the group, some of whom were taken from Gaza months ago. 🟥 Read report: aje.io/ibqqdf

Friedrich Merz's promises remain promises, when he takes power we'll be able to see his true commitment to a stronger Europe & Ukraine. If he releases permission for Ukraine to use the Taurus then he'll prove himself a reliable partner and Germany stronger. A step closer to the European Army.

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble: "The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

We all knew Trump was going to betray Ukraine, there was never a question about it. It is vital for Europe to show a unified front without the United States and keep in mind that its interests do not align with the rest of the democratic world until Trump & his cabal is removed or overthrown.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

During his visit to a US base in Germany, Def Secretary and rapist racist, Pete Hegseth, was booed by military families. #3E

Day 76 of nonstop protests in Georgia. ( 📹@publikage.bsky.social ) #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #GeorgiaProtests

Israeli PM Netanyahu threatens to resume “intense fighting” in Gaza if Hamas fails to release captives held there by noon on Saturday. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage:

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

By courting the far right, the man tipped to be Germany’s next chancellor may have sealed his own downfall | Florian Ranft

Die Medien sind heutzutage größtenteils entweder inkompetent, absichtlich ignorant oder ein Teil des Rechtsrucks. Lasst euch nicht verarschen!

Seven Palestinians freed by Israel as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal have been admitted to hospitals upon arriving in Ramallah "as a result of the brutality they were subjected to" by Israeli authorities, says the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club.

The US plans to cut billions in reimbursements to medical researchers for items such as hazardous waste disposal.

Insanity

The slow motion coup is progressing.

I guess one-dimensional beings are not good at 4D chess

Thankfully, there are still media organizations left that have understood what their jobs are in times like these. Thanks for keeping my hopes up, time and time again, @wired.com. 👇Check out this thread!

This is one of the reasons for why the German elections in a few weeks are so important. If CDU / AfD get elected, it is very likely that they will be on the Trump side or at least be inactive and try to imitate Trump at home.

Let's talk about the future of democracy, global stability, and whether we’re willing to fight for a world that prioritizes truth over profit. 👉 If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the state of the media or the unchecked power of tech oligarchs, this one’s for you: medium.com/tom-vs-reali...
