I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Burgess Shale in British Columbia is one of the most important fossil sites in the world.
With fossils that date back over 500 million years, it provides the clearest record of Cambrian marine life on Earth.
This is the story of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

We may have missed National Hugging Day yesterday… but honestly? We could all use a hug today, too. 🤗 Animals remind us that connection matters, so here's a gentle nudge to hug someone you love and take a moment to breathe. 💙

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed?

CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer

AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

Stop. Visiting. This. Place.
The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.

This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

Of course they want to keep ICE. The violence bar they have cleared is useful to those in power. Lowering it slightly looks like progress but still keeps boots on necks.
Any time someone proposes reforming instead of abolishing ICE, it bears noting that ICE is currently violating a bunch of federal court injunctions, plus their own policies.

Giving the sadistic ethnic cleansing squad more rules to ignore is not enough

Speaking of AI nonsense, on Friday's WAN show, they were talking about how Apple choosing Gemini for its Siri replacement was a critical blow to openAI's future. Billions in potential revenue they desperately need lost.

And I'm here for it.

Gemini can fucking die too but still.
