🚨 DISGUSTING: US Senator Chris Van Hollen exposes a terrifying 3 AM raid by Israeli forces. He confirms they kidnapped a sick American student without any explanation and completely ignored her US citizenship!

He brutally calls out Secretary Marco Rubio's blatant hypocrisy!

John Kiriakou tells Theo Von how the IDF murdered an American journalist by shooting her in the face in the West Bank.

The IDF then turned up at her funeral which was held at a local hospital to disrupt the service and further terrorise the attendees, and even random patients, who were attacked with batons and stun grenades.

The Jones Act blocks foreign ships from moving cargo between US ports. Cato’s new interactive Jones Act Waiver Tracker follows every voyage the 2026 waiver made legal. The data is clear: these rules were quietly suppressing shipments Americans needed all along.

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

In Denmark, McDonalds workers make $25 an hour and, if they are over twenty, the company starts paying into a pension plan for them, and in addition they have a full 6 weeks of paid vacation.

Now how much do you think this costs customers? The Economist looked into this and found out that the Big Mac costs 76 cents less than it does here.

Don't believe the lies that raising the minimum wage would force prices to go up.

Americans struggling to pay their student loans are defaulting on other debt too.

In particular, 57% of student loan borrowers in default are also failing to pay their credit card debt.

A new Post analysis finds the video showing the Trump administration’s recent Pentagon appointee clambering into the Capitol on Jan. 6

This man is a hero in America, standing up against the fascist dictatorship of the free press as billionaires do the bidding of the administration to silence dissent. We all need to be like Scott Pelly and call out bullshit when we see it.

Bezalel Smotrich: "Come live in the West Bank. I hope this incentive will help us bring one million settlers and kill the idea of a Palestinian state."

There are no two sides. There is only the boot and the face. Stop pretending otherwise

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Bad news for Dems in this chart is that an issue party leaders are very fired up about — child care — has little traction with the public.

Good news is the public’s grievances with food and energy have more straightforward fixes!

In 2025, only 21% of Americans experienced growth in their emergency savings.

That trend will likely get worse this year as inflation eats into disposable income.

A good map for the World Cup. Make sense of the area your team is playing at by seeing how the region compares to global climate zone benchmarks. HT @amazingmap

The U.S. savings rate has fallen by more than half in 2 years.

That makes millions of Americans vulnerable to shocks like the Iran War.
