We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

Apple banned an app that just collects videos of ICE abuses

Very sorry to see them abandoning their users to align with Trump

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Florida’s surgeon general’s anti-vax beliefs are only the tip of a very deeply weird iceberg.

Joseph Ladapo’s guiding voice? His wife, who believes she can talk to “Archangel Michael, Mary Magdalene, and many other beings of light.”

From medicine to mysticism: the radicalization of Florida's top doc

Joseph Ladapo was a normie—until he met his wife and a guru into levitating and communicating with spirits.

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

RIFs can’t be done without agency leadership so this is RFK Jr extending his purge of CDC scientists to help Vought’s shutdown agenda. Genuine public health risks created by aggrieved men.

Sheriff Chris Davis said the blast at military supplier Accurate Energetic Systems, was one of the worst scenes he’s ever seen. He said multiple people were killed but declined to say how many.

“There’s nothing to describe. It’s gone,” Davis said of the building.

When the Romans took over Greek cities, they would dismantle the amphitheaters and strip the blocks to build arenas.

Forsaking literature and art to promote bloodsport sounds like pure MAGA, don’t it?

I’m not a legal person BUT it’s possible DOJ just showed them the one checked box and NONE of James future statements or legal documents where she clarified it was not her primary house. So just show one thing out of 50. But once defense is allowed to show just one thing- my guess will be throw out

Be nice if any single national Democrat promised to hold these fuckwads accountable for malicious prosecution should the wheel ever turn around.

But, whatever. Everybody who opposes Trump will just have to weather this bullshit.

This is becoming urgent.

Private equity is gutting hospitals for profit — when they collapse, communities lose care. That’s life and death.

PE has been taking over some of your favorite companies for years. They sell off assets, strip the business bare, and when there’s nothing left, it collapses.
