before the longest night of the 2025 northern year at Stonehenge in United Kingdom. There, through stones precisely placed 4,500 years ago, a 4.5 billion year old large glowing orb is seen setting. Even given the precession of the Earth's rotational axis over the millennia, the Sun continues to set

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

I've been taking #Mounjaro for a couple years, and I lost over 40 pounds. According to this double-blind, placebo controlled study, if I stop taking it, I'm likely to put all or most of the weight back on. Has anyone stopped a GLP-1 med? What was your experience?

What happens when you stop taking Mounjaro?
Find out more about research that shows most people regain weight and lose health benefits such as reduced blood pressure and cholesterol levels when they stop taking Mounjaro.

And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.
Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

Antarctica's Southern Ocean might be gearing up for a thermal 'burp' that could last a century

Murdering innocents at sea and then pardoning a real drug lord.
Nothing proves the Trump administration is made of mean whims based on lies better than a president who is murdering people in boats "because I am so strongly against drug trafficking" pardoning someone who trafficked more drugs than a hundred fishing boats could carry.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
