NYT: A major flu outbreak has sickened nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas weeks after Defense Secretary Hegseth announced that U.S. troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated for the flu, defense officials said.

Why do we treat the Supreme Court as if it’s the only branch of government without any checks or balances on its power?
There's already a compelling case to impeach and remove at least two justices.
BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly informed President Trump that Israel does not accept an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon or the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon.
Those provisions are a central part of the U.S.-Iran agreement now being negotiated. (New York Post)
The gap between Trump’s deal and Netanyahu’s position is getting harder to ignore. 👀
Unpopular "centrist" Dems give the right endless ammo to effectively use against them, while leftists are so universally appealing that even FOX is scared to attack them, because they keep converting their own viewers.
Powerful piece, highly recommend reading. Democrats need people like Platner if they are going to come to terms with the true nature of our country, with what we have done to people at home and abroad, and pull together the coalition needed to heal and reshape it.
“A tiny minority of Americans (6%) ever serve in the military. Of these, only 40% of veterans have ever deployed to a combat zone. And of those deployed, only about 10% participated in actual ground combat. I am one of those, and so is Platner. His pathology: a combination of traumatic stress, substance abuse, impulsive decision-making in the past, and deep anger at the moral injury he sustained wearing the cloth of this nation, is something this country ought to consider when it sends its young men and women to war. The question before Maine is not whether Graham Platner is perfect. The question is whether the United States Senate, the state of Maine, and the country as a whole would benefit from having his voice in the room when decisions are made. The answer is yes…”
“A democracy that insists on perfection will eventually find itself represented only by people skilled at hiding their flaws.”
Taxing 50% of AI companies' stock to ensure that AI benefits humanity isn't radical, but let me tell you what is:
Since Trump was elected, the 7 richest men in America, all Big Tech oligarchs, became $1.15 trillion richer while 60% live paycheck to paycheck.
That's radical.
Running uncorroborated claims on Platner from an ex-girlfriend who is a professional Republican operative is outrageous from the New York Times. It's consistent with their biased treatment of candidates skeptical of Israel.
Can we clap for the Albanians please? Over 100,000 of them took to the streets, shut down the capital protesting Maga Jared Kushner & Maga Ivanka Trump. Protecting their sacred lands from these vampires
