This was the White House's war plan:

Day #1 : Bomb

Day #2: Iran becomes a white Christian nationalist country

Day #3: Free gas

Day 4: Kid Rock concert/UFC fight broadcast from Tehran

So far, things are a bit off track

"Moderate Democrats" Aren't Moderate Anymore

According to recent polls, "moderate" Democratic voters support Medicare for All, taxing the rich, & taking on the broligarchy. Will the Democratic leadership wake up or keep listening to corporate donors?

Trump DOJ’s voter rolls grab has unearthed a tiny number of illegitimate votes Dozens of illegitimate votes may seem significant. But 50 illegitimate votes would amount to just 0.000007 percent of the roughly 680 million votes cast in the last five national elections.

After accessing nearly half of the states’ full voter rolls, DOJ Civil Rights Division head Harmeet Dhillon said the department has only found β€œdozens” of instances of noncitizen voting illegitimately.

The finding, contrary to GOP narratives, affirms that voter fraud is extremely rare.

Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?

Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.

Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?

Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.

MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.

Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

Ah, yes, American Exceptionalism: the Palantir edition.

Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Jane Addams, FDR, MLK, etc would all be so proud.

Avoiding all products from co's led by amoral nuts takes work, but Palantir/Thiel/Karp empire is a good place to start.

Want to hack your body with peptides? If only the science agreed Performance-enhancing peptides are increasingly popular among fitness enthusiasts and biohackers, despite limited human testing and potential health risks.

RFK Jr is trying to get 14 peptides licensed without data on safety or efficacy. His favorite is BPC-157.
"Only three small human studies of BPC-157 exist, the largest of which is a telephone survey of 16 people who received an injection of the drug for knee pain"

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

We got one week of testimony that was going really badly for the company. But corruption won out.
