1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.

Community members are devastated.

Fenway Health Restricts Treatment for Patients Under 19 In Capitulation To Trump
“This is a fundamental betrayal to the core mission of Fenway and the patients they serve.”

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

As a Retired Brigadier General, I never thought I’d see the day when members of Congress would block pay for our troops to score political points. But that’s exactly what Mike Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s party just did. This is not patriotic. It’s a disgrace.

It is our duty to preserve the truth and work actively for reconciliation.

The European Union will always remember the Srebrenica genocide.

My visit to the Srebrenica memorial moved me so deeply.

I honoured the memory of the more than 8,300 Bosniak boys and men who were murdered in Srebrenica 30 years ago.

And I paid tribute to the mothers, wives and daughters carrying the weight of loss for three long decades.

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

All jokes aside, this is an incredible piece of analysis & the way it concludes by motioning to the growing phenomenon of RW billionaires buying & destroying anything that challenges their regime of unchecked profit & power should serve as a wake-up call to those of us still missing the thread.

Kudos to ⁦‪@mehdirhasan‬⁩.

Not only did he invite me on his show in 2018 to talk about my investigation into Farage’s funders (no UK channel ever did).

But he also asked a former colleague of Nathan Gill’s in the EU parliament whether UKIP had ever taken Russian bribes 🔥

“You cannot understand [Israeli opinion on the war] without understanding the kind of blindness that the Israeli media promotes.”

While global news showed a humanitarian disaster, most outlets in Israel remained silent.

For those who don’t intimately understand how news works and why Bari Weiss’s unearned elevation to head of CBS News matters, I’d recommend watching this in entirety. Also, will forever point out irony of how an admitted DEI hire thinks her hire was meritorious while Black people’s aren’t.

A heart-touching reunion as freed Palestinian detainee Nabil Abu Khdeir from occupied Jerusalem embraces his family for the first time in 16 years, after being released today as part of the exchange deal between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation.

Like people all around the world, I am deeply moved by the scenes of hostages held by Hamas for more than two long years, finally being reunited with their families.

I pay enormous tribute to the patient work of all those who have brought us to this day.

I pay enormous tribute to the patient work of all those who have brought us to this day, including the US, Qatar, Egypt and other partners.

I am also thinking of the challenges faced by the people of Gaza as they return to their homes and the scale of devastation that they face.

Along with a surge of humanitarian aid, we need to see immediate steps taken to support them and to provide the vital services they need as winter approaches. 

The ceasefire agreement is the first step on a road to peace. All parties must adhere to it in full over the coming days and weeks.  

Now is the time to seize the momentum and to begin the task of building a just and lasting peace in the region, based on a two-state solution.

We in Ireland know how long and difficult that journey can be, but we stand ready to assist in any way that we can.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

And not just any reporter. Radley Balko's reporting has gotten an innocent man off death row. He's broken multiple major stories about huge scandals. He goes in-depth on the ground with tons of local sources. Dismissing his detailed debunking as Weiss did is something no serious journalist would do.

Zelensky says Trump has not yet made a decision on supplying Tomahawks to Ukraine. "We are working on it, and I’m waiting for his decision," he stated.

Excellent meeting with President Zelensky!

We sign an agreement for co-production of drones and defence equipment. I announce €200 mln support for counter-drone systems.

We keep defending our freedom against Russia's aggression. Ukraine can count on the Netherlands! 🇳🇱🇺🇦
