New footage has emerged of one of the most terrifying earthquakes ever recorded
The devastating 7.8 magnitude quake that struck the Philippines left a trail of destruction and shock
In my view, flavored e-cigarettes were originally intended as an alternative for adult smokers looking to quit, not to encourage new addictive behaviors. We should not automatically assume that every policy change involves corruption.
Just one week after tobacco giant Reynolds donated $5 million to MAGA Inc. and dined with Trump at his golf club, President Trump directed FDA to authorize the sale of flavored vapes.
This corruption is poisoning our kids and unleashing a new wave of addiction on America.
A beach day turned chaotic in seconds.
A waterspout came ashore in Miramar Beach, Florida, sending umbrellas and chairs flying as Memorial Day beachgoers ran for cover.

🚨 do you understand what just happened in the last 3 hours..
> jd vance made an UNPLANNED return to washington.. motorcade racing to the white house.. no advance notice..
> trump summoned the full national security team.. hegseth, gen. caine, the whole NSC.. not a briefing.. a decision meeting..
> trump scheduled a 1pm call with leaders of several arab nations.. the same leaders who talked him out of strikes five days ago by asking for more time..
> the rome round of u.s.-iran talks ended this morning without a breakthrough.. iran still refusing to give up uranium enrichment.. demanding war-damage compensation and strait of hormuz control as preconditions..
> trump had already called off a planned attack on iran around may 18 after direct requests from qatar's emir, saudi crown prince mbs, and the uae president..
> vance has logged 20+ hours in back-channel sessions.. described the ceasefire as "fragile".. described trump's red line as: iran never obtains a nuclear weapon.. full stop..
> iran rejected every u.s. proposal as "totally unacceptable".. the clock they were given to negotiate just ran out this morning in rome..
> the arab call isn't courtesy.. the last time trump convened gulf partners after a failed round, it paused military action.. this time he's calling them AFTER the talks collapsed..
every government on this list told their citizens "diplomacy is ongoing" within the last 48 hours..
all of this.. a single afternoon..
if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..
it's only getting crazier from here..
David Axelrod: Here's the problem for Republicans. They can't live in the Republican Party without Donald Trump, and they can't live outside of the Republican Party with Donald Trump because he's an epically unpopular president who is popular among his own tribe, and his own tribe is not big enough to win elections.
Nothing like saying the quiet part out loud and confirming the Republican Party doesn’t give a shit about American citizens! Kudos to the GOP Vice Chair, Blake Moore, for being honest!
Trump’s death grip on the Republican Party may sit well with MAGA hardcores, but it's repelling all other voters. LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens explains how that'll hurt the GOP in November:
once the rest of the world accepts that so much of US city planning and suburbs is historically based on rich white people not wanting to live near poor ppl and/or people of color (esp. black people), so much of how this country operates will make sense to you. please read a book
April 1945: In the final days of World War II, the Führer obsesses over absurdly large monuments for his reimagined Berlin, focusing on an idealized future rather than the reality of his collapsing Reich.
why is there actually, legitimately, discourse around reading speed right now “8 hours to read a book is slow” “you should be able to read a book in 3-5 hours”
bro we are in a literacy CRISIS, i do not care how fast or slow you read a book, just pick one up and read it
The administration who convinced an entire generation of Americans to not go to college and pick up a trade instead has now decided they’re going to shut down the nations largest trade school who trained and educated the entire generation of Americans who were told not to go to college.
