Zelenskyy on Russia's attack on Kyiv:

"Three Russian missiles against a water supply facility; [Putin] burned down a marketplace, damaged dozens of residential buildings, and several ordinary schools. He launched his ‘Oreshnik’ at Bila Tserkva. Truly, they're inadequate people. It is important that this does not remain without consequences for Russia."

@RoyRogers_HTMS That's okay. I liked his voice.

Controversy over Pres. Trump's push for a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund derailed Senate Republicans' plans to pass an immigration enforcement package. "This kind of graft... is on a scale that is unprecedented," says Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal.

Let us learn to be rich in a different way: more attentive to relationships, more intent on valuing the common good, more attached to the local area, more grateful in welcoming and integrating those who come to live with us.

CBS News Radio is shutting down tonight after nearly a century on the air.

The storied service started in 1927 and gave rise to such icons as Douglas Edwards, Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow.

Together, they and their colleagues brought history into our homes:

From the liberation of Nazi camps in Germany, to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, to the deadliest attack on American soil, 9/11.

The company announced the closure in March, blaming what it called "challenging economic realities."

To borrow Mr. Murrow's famous phrase, we wish everyone at CBS News Radio one final "Good night, and good luck."

@bunsenbernerbmd You guys should open a bluesky account.
A lot of folks over there would really like it.

Billionaires don't have bank accounts like you and me.
They have art collections.
Yachts.
Mansions.
Stocks.
None of it gets taxed until they sell it.
So they just never sell it.
They borrow against it instead.
Live off the loans.
Pay almost nothing.
Then when they die, their kids inherit it all tax-free.
The wealth never gets taxed.
It just gets passed down.
And we wonder why the gap keeps getting wider.

Given that Trump supporters seem to think of Europe as an underdeveloped backwater where people live in underground holes and bow hunt rats for a meal, it might be worth revisiting this short thread tackling common U.S. stereotypes about Europe and American exceptionalism.🧵

It is literally cheaper to fly to China, stay in a 5-star hotel, get an MRI, and fly back than it is to get a scan in the US with insurance. Let that sink in.

1850s: French Canadian voyageurs discover something horrifying.

They're trapping rabbits all winter. Unlimited lean meat. Eating 3-5 pounds daily.

They're starving to death anyway.

"Rabbit starvation" - documented medical phenomenon where you eat unlimited lean meat and still die within weeks.

The biochemistry: Your liver can only process 200-300g protein daily. Beyond that, protein metabolism creates toxic ammonia faster than your body can clear it.

Symptoms: Severe diarrhea, headache, fatigue, low blood pressure. Death within 1-2 months.

The cure: Fat. Any fat. Animal fat stops symptoms within days.

Arctic explorers experience it eating lean caribou. Unlimited food. Starving anyway.

Inuit offer seal blubber: "Eat the fat. Lean meat will kill you."

Explorers refuse. "Savage food." They die.

Your body processes unlimited fat easily. Fat metabolism produces energy, not toxic byproducts.

But protein without fat? Your body literally cannot handle it beyond a threshold.

Trappers had a specific term for this condition and knew the cure.

Modern bodybuilders: "I eat 300g protein daily with minimal fat for optimal gains."

Your liver: screaming

Your body: sluggish and starving

We just call it "clean eating" now.

Insane that it’s literally cheaper to fly to China, get an MRI, and fly back home than it is to get one here. We are getting screwed so bad man 😭

Not only has every Republican since Eisenhower increased the deficit...

But every Democrat since Carter has decreased the deficit.

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

Immigrants:
📌Pay more in taxes and take fewer benefits
📌Work more, earn more than the average native-born worker
📌Cost less in retirement, they do not drain Social Security for decades
📌Barely touch welfare, there is no free ride
