DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Rubio was photographed pacing around the Oval today and then Trump tweaked out on camera for 20 minutes tonight. I wonder what speech Trump planned to give when he announced it yesterday and if plans changed.

So Trump’s big primetime “address to the nation” is just him struggling to read a psychotic script full of lies written by Stephen Miller about how great he is.

Remember that 80% of the ACA subsidies about to expire go to people in states that Trump won in 2024.

If you heard this from someone in a bar, at an assisted-living facility, in a sanity-competence hearing, etc you'd know you were not dealing with a person in control of facts, reality, or himself.

Every medical professional knows this. Every normal person does.

Sometimes when I listen to Trump speak I think he is well on his way to dementia.

Other times I think he’s on something.

Then I think it’s just because his vocabulary is very limited and he struggling to read someone else’s words.

But most of the time I think it’s all 3.

An accessible alternative to the Pap smear has been endorsed by the American Cancer Society. On Thursday, it released new guidelines saying that self-collection is an acceptable way to test for the virus that causes cervical cancer.
New Guidelines Endorse Self-Swab Alternative to Pap Smear for Cervical Cancer Testing
The recommendation comes after the first at-home test, a self-swab, received federal approval earlier this year.

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.

"It's bad," Smith says.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.

Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

The Trump Administration's latest rationale for killing striken seamen was that they knew that two men had survived the initial strike but that they "needed to sink the vessel" so they fired again.

That is the EXACT same defense Heinz-Wilhelm Eck used after WWII. He was found guilty and executed.
Pentagon knew boat attack left survivors but still launched a follow-on strike, AP sources say
The Pentagon knew there were survivors after a September attack on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea and the U.S. military still carried out a follow-up strike.
