The U.S. and Israel are racing to destroy Iranโs missile supplies before their own air defenses are exhausted, Missy Ryan and Nancy A. Youssef report:
Totally forgot about the maxi pad ear.
She charged $29 million to treat just 84 kids. The boom in autism therapy is Medicaidโs fastest-growing jackpot.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Christian Zionists include not only powerful pastors and religious influencers but also leaders at the highest levels of the Trump administration.
The selection of Mojtaba Khamenei as supreme leader shows that even as the Islamic Republic is losing some of its military capabilities, it is doubling down on ideology and repression, Karim Sadjadpour argues:
Trump allegedly sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl who was trafficked to him by Jeffrey Epstein, according to documents released by the DOJ last Thursday.
The White House insists the allegations are โcompletely baselessโ and โbacked by zero credible evidence.โ
Listen to the Live Nation CEOโs alleged threats to a concert venue
"She will be remembered not only as the most incompetent Secretary in the departmentโs twenty-three-year history but also as the person who succeeded where many progressive activists had failed in discrediting much of the D.H.S.โs institutional legitimacy."

NEW: We just published a deep dive into just how much billionaires are now dominating U.S. politics.
We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races.

The high-profile exit left people inside and outside the network eager to understand the backstory. So what happened? Multiple people familiar with the matter told Status that MacFarlane had grown disillusioned with the overall direction of the network under the anti-woke warrior Weiss, who since being appointed by David Ellison in October has sought to put the venerable news outlet on better footing with Donald Trump and his administration. Specifically, MacFarlane was appalled and disheartened by the way the โCBS Evening Newsโ marked the five-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection. At CBS News, MacFarlane had spent years aggressively covering the attack on the U.S. Capitol. In fact, as recently as Monday morning, as he prepared to make his career announcement, he posted a video on YouTube calling out MAGA forces trying to โrewrite the historyโ of that day by disseminating โlies.โ So when MacFarlane saw anchor Tony Dokoupil mark the anniversary with only a 16-second report that embraced a both sides approach to the act of violence carried out by Trump supporters on that day, he was aghast. Itโs not clear whether MacFarlane made his disapproval known to Dokoupil or network leadership, but he did communicate it to some colleagues, and it became known inside the network.
You can devastate a news organization The Jeff Bezos Way, by slashing the budget in half and forcing massive layoffs.
Or you can do it The Bari Weiss Way, by steadily eroding your journalism standards, week after week, so the talented people who can leave, do leave.

Itโs Monday. Trump is lying. Iran does not have any Tomahawks. Not one.๐
A six-year-old student at the California School for the Deaf-Fremont has been reunited with his communication devices after being deported to Columbia last week.
"Large muscular people. You wouldn't believe how swole they are. All wearing hard hats. Tears running down their chiseled cheeks, they cry out to me "For the love of God, sir, Save America!"
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as โpointlessโ because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
Trumpโs slanderous accusation that Iran and not his own government committed this horrific atrocity in Minab was obviously going to be untenable, and itโs already falling apart in a way that will tarnish Americaโs reputation around the world.
"McNamara's Morons: The Low-IQ Soldiers Used as Guinea Pigs in Vietnam War -
In 1966, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara launched Project 100,000โa program that deliberately recruited 354k men who had already been rejected as mentally or physically unfit for military service."
"He wants to be very constructive" -- moments after announcing that he's taking sanctions off Russia without mentioning Russia by name, Trump says "I had a very good call with President Putin" today
Donald Trump and JD Vance lied to the American people to get elected.
The health care system is a disaster thanks both to GOP obstruction AND to Dems using a near-supermajority to marginalize Medicare for All & create a public-option-free Heritage Foundation-style ACA empowering insurers to enrich themselves & fleece everyone else.
Thanks for attending my TED talk.
Yup. My R congressman hosted a big federal job fair at a local Christian university after all the major purges and we were likeโฆ Ohhhh, now it makes sense. Nobody ever believed it was waste, fraud, or abuse. Come on. And then we voted to redraw his district. Buh bye!๐
Fixed this for Republican House Rep. Andy Ogles.
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
One can only hope.
lauren came out of the courtroom this morning promising "shenanigans" and this does not disappoint
This is so fucked up!
James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Texas Senate, criticized the use of Christianity to promote conservative politics. In a recent interview, he said his candidacy was part of a broader mission to counter what he sees as a partisan takeover of the American church.
I want a memorial structure with all of their names on it permanently installed at the entrance to the Pentagon.
