BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.”
After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Trump is calling for a record $1.5T defense budget.
Roughly half of this spending will go to private contractors, many of whom routinely price-gouge the government.
Reminder that Don Jr. and Eric Trump are big investors in drone companies looking to obtain defense contracts.
See the problem?

My heart breaks for those children and families that will suffer the consequences. (FYI: An Israeli flight attendant died from measles contracted from one of the children targeted by the antivaxx group in the NY Jewish community).
Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners.
Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

How Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Vaccine Agenda Risks a Resurgence of Deadly Childhood Plagues
The health secretary is spreading doubts about vaccine safety and considering changes that could prompt manufacturers to flee the U.S. market. History has shown how plagues from the past can roar back...

The “Save America Act” says that all states “shall” submit their voter registration lists to the DHS’s “SAVE” voter purge program, which has error rates as high as 14% & relies on data from SSA whose databases were mishandled by DOGE. I include this & other parts of the Act in my 8-point summary. 1/

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
