Joe Biden had a bad debate. Approximately 765 stories and opinion pieces in the NYTimes.
Donald Trump had 300 bank accounts closed because of evidence of money laundering. Nothing to see here, says the same NYTimes.
Trump refused to sign a bipartisan bill to build more housing. Why?
Because there was nothing in it for him.
No Trump Tower.
No ballroom.
No gold-plated anything with his name.
But the new housing law will lower costs—even without Trump’s signature.
Extract from a Brazilian tree can neutralize the COVID-19 virus, underscoring nature’s value as a source of defenses against global pandemics.
Scientists have found that leaves of Copaifera lucens, a tree native to Brazil’s threatened Atlantic Forest, contain natural compounds called galloylquinic acids. These compounds can neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The findings appear in the journal Scientific Reports.
Unlike many traditional antivirals that target only a single viral protein, the galloylquinic acids act through a multitarget mechanism. They attack the virus on several fronts at once. This approach makes it much harder for the virus to mutate and develop resistance, offering a more robust barrier against current and future strains.
The research, coordinated by Professor Jairo Kenupp Bastos of the University of São Paulo, showed that the compounds block the virus from entering cells, interfere with its replication, and help regulate the body’s inflammatory response.
The discovery also highlights the importance of protecting diverse ecosystems. Brazil is home to nearly a quarter of the world’s plant species. Loss of these forests could eliminate potential life-saving compounds before they are ever identified and studied.

A Texas city allegedly paid a family farm $10 in exchange for land meant to be used for a park and then sold the land to a data center developer for $10 million.The family is now suing for the deed to be honored and the park to be built.
1.3 million low-income seniors were supposed to get help with Medicare premiums, drug prescriptions and cost-sharing.
Republicans gutted all of that in their "Big Beautiful Bill."
An older couple living on $21,000 a year is about to get crushed with thousands more in out-of-pocket costs.
How "beautiful" do you find #RepublicanMedicareCuts?
900 hundred days left for the president with the big behind and empty head. Then we can start repairing the damage he’s done. Starting with NO BALLROOM and RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
If we can't arrest a sitting President for laundering money, illegal war crimes, market manipulation, being named a pedophile in the Epstein Files, kidnapping a world leader and his wife, and having to pay $88.3M for sexually assaulting a woman....WHAT THE FUCK ARE LAWS FOR???
Just want to remind you all that if a Democratic president had referred to red states as "dirty" and "filthy" and smelly and gross, it would have led the entire media, not just Fox, for days on end, and screaming Republicans would have demanded a public apology.
Your political career was over, @JohnCornyn.
All you had to do was vote “no” on the nomination so that you could retain at least some small claim to integrity and honor.
You couldn’t muster up the moral courage to take even that minor, token step.
🚨Lawrence O'Donnell nailed it:
"Donald Trump has corrupted every single Republican senator to some degree, and Donald Trump has corrupted most Republican senators completely, just completely bent them to his will on everything.
This is exactly why we can’t lose focus on the Senate.
Je sais que je vais passer pour une vieille râleuse en disant ça, mais…
Je ne veux pas devoir passer par une application pour prendre un rendez-vous médical.
Je ne veux pas scanner un QR code pour consulter un menu au restaurant.
Je ne veux pas créer un compte et un mot de passe pour la moindre démarche.
Je ne veux pas qu’on me demande mon adresse mail et mon numéro de téléphone partout où je vais.
Je ne veux pas recevoir un message pour noter chaque achat, chaque livraison ou chaque rendez-vous.
Je veux juste pouvoir faire certaines choses comme avant, en parlant à une vraie personne, sans devoir sortir mon téléphone pour absolument tout.
Je suis vraiment la seule à en avoir marre ? 😩📱
Trump promised he wouldn’t touch Medicare.
Then he signed his Big Beautiful Bill that triggered billions in healthcare cuts, massively gutting Medicare.
It was never beautiful.
And now it's a Big Deadly Bill for anyone on Medicare.
This November remember #RepublicanMedicareCuts
