One of the all-time most repulsive NYT headlines:

[Daniel Ahmad @ZhugeEX]

This is what China did in 2009 when there was a similar scandal.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The Trump DOJ has dropped an investigation into a company whose contaminated baby formula may have led babies to die.

The Justice Department spent years investigating Abbott Laboratories over how it managed a baby formula facility where potentially deadly bacteria was discovered and suspected of causing infant deaths.

Some prosecutors believed they had evidence to criminally charge the company, but top decision makers instead closed the probe.

Any member of Congress who votes yes today on the KIDS Act—empowering the government at parents’ expense and turning every American into a surveillance target—should be removed from office.

The perfect symbol for Trump's popularity: An Israeli flag raised to the same level as the American flag, with nobody in attendance. Because the American people are sick of this sh-t and can't wait for the prosecutions to begin.

The average tick would die of nicotine poisoning if you smoked one cigarette before it bit you. Make sure to take a drag every few minutes on a hike. It’s for your health. You likely only have 6 months of this being effective before nicotine resistant ticks are accidentally released from the national laboratory for preventing ticks from developing nicotine resistance

He didn't "lash" out. He answered the question, which didn't suffice for the hit job, so he turned the tables on your "reporter" who promptly started to run in the other direction like a bitch.

Murdoch Inc., ladies and gents.

Thank them for the Iran War and November.

@jeffreytucker Well put.

Rental car is new, expensive, and utterly undriveable.
Main problem is the aggressive notification to take a break with a coffee emoji and five loud beeps. It is triggered if you drive too close to the line or veer even slightly outside the perfect center, like threading a needle constantly.
So it screams at you for even the slightest venial sin -- providing more moral exhortations than a puritan preacher in 17th century Plymouth. This happened every ten minutes or so on a 2.5 hour drive. Makes one insane. If I drank all the coffee they had suggested, I would have been hospitalized.
Meanwhile anything you want to do -- turn on the radio, change the temp, change the station whatever -- comes with a text warning not to be distracted and a terms of use approval, as if this is not distracting in itself. I'm certain the rental is somehow linked to the Internet so you get the sense that you are not driving at all. Paradoxically, it all feels extremely unsafe and it is impossible to relax. Horrid!
The one time someone snuck into my blindspot going 80 -- now way to see this because this SUV has the outward visibility of a tank -- the magic seeing eyes did not notice. It is more interesting in correcting that helping me. What a miserable experience.
It's odd because the US went all in with cars after WW2 at the expense of passenger trains on grounds that cars offer individual freedom. These new cars do NOT offer individual freedom. They are hectoring, surveilling, prisons on wheels. By constantly registering distrust in you as the driver, they deprecate volition and hence make driving less safe than ever.

Voyeuristic Fox reporter @NicholasBallasy unsure and uneasy when questioned about alleged gay porn watching habit.

@FreddyLA7 Where Fran Goldsmith and Harold Lauder from The Stand are from. 🤣 Cool little town. Drove through a decade ago.

@jimmy_dore Did you know Israel is currently spraying massive amounts of glyphosate on crops and forests in southern Lebanon right now to kill everything?

[Shark Twain @OctopusHero]

@Smith5775 @TheProjectUnity It was Israel and members of his own security team

[Shark Twain @OctopusHero]

@washghost1 That will absolutely melt their siding lol. I sell vinyl siding and have seen several times where someone’s siding melted just because a neighbor’s window was at just the right angle to focus the sun at their siding.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Sold-out Lebanese authorities have given the green light to Israel to extend its invasion of the country’s south, validating its ethnic cleansing of Shia citizens

Behind them is Rubio, a pet project of the Israel lobby, delivering a hammer blow to the MOU, and shivving JD Vance

@tboynew @ACTBrigitte Hezbollah isn’t carpet bombing 100% of homes in 100% Christian villages and displacing 2 million people, Israel is.
