BREAKING: Vibrio vulnificus — a deadly, flesh-eating bacteria with a staggering 20% mortality rate — is now being detected in multiple U.S. waterways.

And here’s the part you’re not supposed to ignore: this comes after the Trump administration dismantled critical water monitoring systems and gutted CDC programs that were tracking this very threat.

When you defund science and silence public health experts, Americans pay the price.

Questions about why ICE arrested a nun continue to grow after her release from custody.

The Catholic Diocese of Brownsville said that on Sunday, Sister Leticia Ugboaja was detained by agents as she was walking to attend mass in McAllen, Texas. https://t.co/RpaUcW31TZ

Amidst mountains of concrete,debris,dust & silence Rescuers in Venezuela found a scene which moved even the strongest. Under the remains of the collapsed structure a dog https://t.co/LUReHMlp5z didn't bark, stayed motionless,looking in to the eyes. And it's body became a shield, beneath it lay a child. While everything around him collapsed, this little boy was still alive, protected by a friend, who refused to move to rather than abandon his friend who needed him most.
Rescue team reports they were speechless, they found them after few days of the disaster.
The dog at first refused to come out as if he wanted to ensure the rescue of his friend.The dog was rescued. Moments later the child, amidst cheers,tears & emotions.
This image depicts something no disasters can destroy.When nature tests the strength of a people, gestures emerge that love, compassion & loyalty can appear from where we least expect them
That life always finds a reason to resist.
A miracle from God! Don't look for answers
The answer is blowing in the wind🙏

BREAKING: LOL! Hunter Biden hilariously trolls Trump with a fake Nobel Peace Prize nomination — and his reasons have MAGA screeching with rage.

This is an absolute bullseye...

"I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize," Hunter wrote on X. "No President in History has ended the same war so many times. Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

"No President has ever done this before," he added. "And he is nowhere near finished ending it. It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

The joke, of course, is that Trump has repeatedly promised that a lasting peace with Iran is within reach, only for the negotiations to once again break down and the bombing to resume. There's also the added absurdity of nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for ending a pointless war of aggression that he launched on Israel's behalf.

You don't get credit for solving a problem that you yourself created!

The simple truth is that Donald Trump is the most warmongering President in modern American history. He slaughtered countless innocent men, women, and children overseas and accomplished nothing in the process. Awarding him a Nobel Peace Prize would delegitimize the prize for all time.

Republicans on social media are predictably incensed over Hunter's joke, with many MAGA accounts responding to his post with personal insults as well as attacks on his father.

That's how you know he hit the mark.

Trump's obsession with the prize is well documented. He aggressively lobbied for one in vain and hates that Barack Obama won the prize. For a racist like Trump, the idea that a Black man could exceed him in so many tangible ways is unthinkable. He deserves to be trolled relentlessly!

Please ❤️ and share if you're a fan of Hunter!

By David Abbruzzes:

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Very well stated.

BREAKING: Trump is reportedly pissed that top military officials are warning, if he pulls the US out of NATO, it will be the dumbest, most self-defeating act of national security sabotage in US history, because Trump was thinking of declaring "independence from NATO" on July 4th.

[Nick Wize @iAmNickWize]

I know the Rays need to get a stadium deal done but what is the point of not signing Junior Caminero yet? You have a guy that MLB can market and can completely change the perception of your franchise. With every home run the price goes up #RaysUp

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The need for greater cooperation amongst Christians in the face of today’s challenges - peace, the proper use of new technologies and care for creation - stems from the Gospel of Jesus Christ itself. Our responsibility for the life and dignity of every human being, especially the youngest and most needy, is the criterion that will determine our present and eternal destiny (Mt 25:31–46). #ChristianUnity

[Greg Harvey @BetweenTheNums]

Junior Caminero is the first player in MLB HISTORY (including playoffs) to have a 3+ HR game & then hit a HR in each of the following 4 games.

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against Trump’s executive order and upheld birthright citizenship.

The Court held that citizenship is guaranteed to people born in the United States, including those whose parents are undocumented or only in the country temporarily.

This is one of the clearest reaffirmations of the 14th Amendment in modern history.

At its core, this ruling protects a simple constitutional promise: if you are born here, you belong here.

🇺🇸 Equal citizenship is the foundation of a multiracial democracy.

If technology becomes the ultimate criterion, the human person risks being reduced to data, a cog in a machine or a commodity. If, however, technology is integrated with a wise perspective, it can become an instrument of growth, justice and fraternity. #MagnificaHumanitas

ICE has announced that they are selling the warehouse in Romulus that was intended for use as a detention center. This facility was built for auto parts, not to house human beings, and the people of Michigan pushed back.
