JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

β€˜Sounds familiar’: how the US-Israeli war in Iran parallels Russia’s invasion of Ukraine Both campaigns have been framed differently at different times, with dubious claims of defensive action and a curious reluctance to label it war

Good. I'm obviously not the only person in the world, who has noticed the (ugly) similarities between Putin's cruel, evil war of unilateral, illegal aggression against the civilians of another sovereign country -- and Trump's one.

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Q: "The president said yesterday that President Putin told him he wanted to be helpful in the Middle East…How does the president think Russia could be helpful?"

Leavitt: "I'll leave it to the president to divulge any more of that conversation."

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

The more pro Israel warmongers in corporate media attack Mamdani and his wife the more it will increase their popularity, especially as a majority of Americans are now pro-Palestinian, against Israel's genocidal regime, and disgusted by this illegal war in Iran.

Keep it up!

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

Why do Americans hate each other while Canadians love each other? Could it have something to do with our politics? With the sociopath in the Oval?

A Pew survey found that 53% of American adults describe the morality and ethics of our fellow citizens as β€œbad.” Meanwhile, in Canada, 92% say their fellow Canadians are good while just 7% say they’re bad.

Why are we Americans so down on our fellow citizens?

Shrinking is easily one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I rank it above Six Feet Under and Breaking Bad. It’s in the top three, if not number one.

Anthropic Sues the Administration Here's why Trump wanted to bring firms to heel with his executive orders. Here's what can happen when he fails.

One of the law firms Trump tried to intimidate with an executive order is representing Anthropic in court. Here are the details of the two lawsuits against the government after DOD tried to blacklist the developer of Claude AI.
