While the Australian Jewish community is still waiting and hoping that their death toll of 16 innocent people doesn’t go higher, with 40 people hospitalized after the antisemitic massacre in Bondi Beach, the free Palestine Hamas supporters attack a Hanukkah celebration in Amsterdam. Vile.

Ukraine's biggest threat to Putin’s mafia state was democracy in Ukraine. And that’s what he was really scared of. So he attacked it. Trump and his fascists have the same fear. They are afraid of democracy.

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.

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

Elon Musk’s new pay package could amount to $100B per year.

That's the same as 3.2 million cashiers’ paychecks combined.

It’s more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks.

It’s more than 2 million janitors’ paychecks.

Billionaire greed is out of control.
