George Washington believed that vaccinating his troops against smallpox was the key to winning the Revolutionary War and our independence. A founding father from 250 years ago had a better understanding of science and military readiness than Pete Hegseth.

Buttigieg: If you want a house, your mortgage went up because interest rates went up, because of this war. Your tank of gas got more expensive. The price of food this summer will be more expensive because fertilizer is more expensive because of this war. They are asking for an extra half trillion dollars for the defense budget. That is thousands of dollars from every household in this country. So we are paying directly for this. And what do we get in return? Is the world any safer? No

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

Fluoride is a salt form of fluorine (13th most abundant element on Earth, naturally found in water). It reinforces bones by increasing bone cell proliferation. It is completely harmless at concentrations in fluoridated water (≈ 0.7 mg/L)

Hey! I'm so glad you reached out. I'm actually holding space with the lyrics of Defying Gravity right now, and I don't think I can hold appropriate space for you. Could we connect [later date or time] instead / Do you have someone else you could reach out to?

Trump's appointed Christian nationalist Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel. This choice will unite Israel and Palestine because everyone hates Mike Huckabee

[Sarah Cassius @SarahCassius]

definitively not Good For the Jews ™️ (or anyone else for that matter)

[Sean Morrow @snmrrw]

Mike Huckabee is a Christian Zionist, he literally believes that all Jews need to move back to Israel to fulfill Biblical prophecy and hasten the return of Jesus and the apocalypse.
