100%. Trump represents Trump. First, last & always. He does not represent the American citizens who value our longtime friendships & alliances with Europe.

Steve Bannon’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein deserves even more scrutiny.

Every day.

Bannon has manipulated press coverage for years, even while being a superspreader for rightwing extremism and idiotic conspiracy theories.

Reporting every day. Bannon + Epstein.

I can confirm that. Visiting the UK and the local vibe is: well, at least our shit isn't as bad as yours. Any number of convos with folks saying they had plans to visit but no longer will. Some even asked if I always carry a gun. I've never been so embarrassed to be an American.

Measles is spreading like it hasn’t in years, because RFK Jr. is falsely leading people to believe that vaccines are not safe and effective.

I got the measles vaccine two months ago to protect myself.

Parents, please protect your children.

How many mountain peaks are >8,000 meters (26,247 feet)?

14

First women to climb all 14? Edurne Pasaban (Spain), completed in May 2010.

First woman to climb all 14 without supplementary oxygen? Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner (Austria), completed in August 2011.

#climbing #mountaineering #firsts

Mountaineer Edurne Pasaban is dressed in a bright orange down suit with hood up, goggles, and heavy gloves, stands on a steep, snow-covered ridge near the summit of a high-altitude mountain. The background features a vast panoramic view of jagged, snow-capped peaks under a clear blue sky. In the lower right corner, a smaller inset image shows a close-up of her with dark hair looking downward with a contemplative expression, hand resting near her chin.

Mountaineer Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner stands on a high-altitude snowy ridge, smiling confidently at the camera with a stunning panoramic backdrop of sharp, snow-covered Himalayan peaks under a clear blue sky. She wears a silver climbing helmet marked "OMAV," large reflective white-framed sunglasses, and a thick red down suit with black accents and sponsor patches including "OMAV," "Burning," and a name tag reading "Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner." In the bottom-left corner, a smaller inset photograph shows her smiling warmly in a bright pink jacket and blue headband against a similar mountainous background.

4. I was hired by and paid directly
Epstein
by Mr.

to attract
adolescent
women to attend these parties,
most of which
were held at what is known as the Wener
Mansion
located at 9 E. 71st St. in New York City.
5. In June, 1994 while performing my duties as a recruiter of adolescent women to attend Mr.
Epstein's
parties,
I met a
adolescent woman,
13-year-old
at the
Port
the Plaintiff in this matter,
Authority
in New York City who said that she
had come to New York City in the hope of starting modeling career.
6. I persuaded the Plaintiff to attend a series of parties of Mr. Epstein that took place during the summer of
1994. I told her that, if she would
join me
at the parties, she would be introduced
to people who could
get her into the modeling profession
and she
7.
would be paid for attending.
It was at these
series of parties that I
personally witnessed the Plaintiff being forced to perform various
sexual acts with Donald J.
Trump and
Mr. Epstein. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein were
advised that she was 13 years old.
8. I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the Plaintiff was forced to have with
Mr.
Trump during this period,
including
of these
encounters where Mr. Trump
the fourth forcibly
raped
her
despite her pleas to stop.

Republicanized has come to be synonymous with plasticized. Creating clones is their specialty. They stole that from Christianity. Let’s not have any original critical thinkers just those that can repeat the rote indoctrination in which they were inseminated.

Not the first time a Muslim civilian stepped up to save lives. A Pakistani Muslim cab driver did the same in March 2025.

Individuals become radicalized and committed towards hate and violence. Sadly, it's a global phenomenon.

They don't define an entire people.

Study from Yale School of Public Health-2022. We pay billions of $ per yr to suffer at the hands of the insurance industry; many pay w/ their lives.
"in a non-pandemic year, some $438 billion would be saved by single-payer universal health care, like Medicare for All."
