Trump says a box cutter sliced the Lincoln Memorial pool. First 250 feet. Then 290. Then 300. Then 350. He says six thugs did it — a number he also just made up as he went. There’s a 24/7 camera that would’ve caught it instantly. Funny how that footage never shows up. No photos. No video. Just “you’ll see it in court.” If you’re still buying this, you’re not gullible. You’re just as full of it as he is.

ICE agents beat a man in Minnesota for following and observing their abuses so badly that they gave him brain damage. They chained him to his hospital bed for 5 days and charged him, but like so many other cases, the video led to a dismissal but not charges for the agents.

Lmao, they are all just criticisms of Israel or vague antizionist slogans.

Curious what’s been reported in your area?

What a rotten deal we made with Iran. We get nothing (except laughter at our stupidity). They get everything, including delay and big cash!

I am absolutely begging Democrats not to run to the right of Trump on Iran

@NanoBubble63 @Sbeveunmo @Discourse__News Constitutionality are literally following man's law instead of God's. Sharia just means to submit to the will of God. If you believe God's law supersedes any law made by man, then you agree with Muslims.

I'm so confused by this "controversy" bc the guy said the kid was choking, so he was doing the heimlich maneuver. In the video we see the kid is facing away from him, and they are both fully clothed so that story makes sense

COLOMBIA💔💔💔 — One of the most talked-about incidents in Colombia right now.

A woman walking down a street noticed something unusual on the balcony of a residential apartment. At first, she believed she was seeing a father playing with his young son, but after realizing something was wrong, she began screaming for help, drawing the attention of neighbors who called police.

Authorities later raided the apartment, rented through Airbnb by a 35-year-old American from Texas, and found three minors inside, aged 7, 5, and 15.

The discovery sparked outrage among local residents, who gathered outside and demanded that the suspect's face be shown. Anti-riot police were eventually deployed, and after a three-hour standoff, officers safely extracted the man from the building.

From here on out, you will never, ever know for sure what is AI and what is not. The truth could be shoved in your face and there will always be people who say it’s AI. (Not saying this isn’t AI, but you will never know.) It’s part of the great deception. It could be used either way.

The central point remains completely valid: medical professionals were financially incentivized to vaccinate which is a clear conflict of interest.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

This woman is a fraud who doesn't know we can fact-check her.

I found where she made the claim, and it provides some specifics: "If I had vaccinated the 6000 patients I treated for C0VID, I would have made $1.5 million."

This means she would've had to have been reimbursed $250 per patient. She attributed this number to a Blue Cross Blue Shield incentive program. But, the program she cites does not apply to her practice, which is in Houston, TX.

The program she's referring to is for participating Kentucky primary-care providers with an Anthem Medicaid panel of at least 25 members, and it involves tiered bonuses if the practice meets vaccination rate thresholds, with the highest final bonus being $250 per newly-vaccinated Anthem member, if the practice reaches a 75% vaccination threshold.

She's trying to claim that a Houston ENT could "vaccinate all her patients" and automatically collect $250 a piece. But she got the state wrong and she detailed how the program works incorrectly, too. She's even foolishly making these mistakes again in the comments section of this post.

To make matters worse, her own site says it's not possible for this to have applied to her. On her page, it says: "BreatheMD is a cash-pay facility, and Dr Bowden has opted out of all insurance plans".

The website currently, and for the past few years, has shown this, and the patient numbers given on the site do not match up with the timing of this program's existence either. There's no way to make her claims work, and her claims are about gross earnings, too. In reality, she still wouldn't have made $1.5m net with $250/person * 6,000 patients.

She's just a complete and obvious liar!

Now, if we're exceedingly generous, we can check what standard Medicare COVID reimbursement payments would've grossed her. The Biden-Harris administration upped payments to about $40 per dose, or $80 for a two-dose series. Thus, with 6,000 people and assuming everyone gets two doses, she'd have just grossed $480,000.

And you know what? I'm feeling really generous. The highest-paying commercial private insurer bonus -- which, again, her practice would not have been eligible for -- is $64. But reimbursements cluster near the Medicare rate of $40, and often below it. If you add the Medicare in-home add-on, then payments can go up to $75/dose for qualifying home vaccination visits, but this would not even apply to her office-based rates. Good luck getting to $1.5 million!

This woman is a delusional liar who doesn't expect anyone to fact-check her. Joe did not bother fact-checking her; instead, he seems to have just believed her obvious lying.

Thomas Massie honors the survivors of the USS Liberty on the House Floor and demands for a resolution recognizing the attack by Israel, an investigation and recognition that the official narrative is false.

It was not an accident.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Trump reached deep into his profanity lexicon a week ago to warn Netanyahu not to attack, then told the world he had put Bibi in his place and troops were even turning around. Peace was at hand thanks to Trump’s strength and his fury, Axios reported.

A week later that very bombing run is carried out and Iran is promising major retaliation.

We have had a lot of weak presidents over our history but perhaps none weaker than Trump. He gets pushed around by a small nation of a few million people that we subsidize.

As President Mamdani said "Israel can exist as a state with equal rights"

[Sarah Ettedgui @SarahEttedgui]

“Dismantling Israel” is not a thing. It is not an international law mechanism.

There is no lawful process by which outsiders simply abolish a sovereign state against the will of its people and replace it with some imagined “state for all citizens.

Israel is a UN member state. It has sovereignty, territorial integrity, a population, institutions, borders to defend, and the right of self-defence like every other state.

So when people say “dismantle Israel,” they are usually hiding the operative question: by what means?

Because if the citizens of Israel do not consent to the abolition of their state, then “dismantling” it requires coercion. And in the real world, in that region, with Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Islamic Jihad, and a century of violence against Jewish sovereignty, coercion means war, displacement, domination, and worse.

South Africa was not abolished. Apartheid was abolished. Ending a racial hierarchy inside a state is not the same thing as dissolving the national self-determination of the Jewish people in the Middle East and pretending everyone will magically receive equal rights the next morning.

I genuinely fear for Zohran Mamdani life. He is peeling back the curtain more every day and the powers that be, historically, don’t like that very much. Protect him at all costs, he’s going to change American politics forever.

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

The role of the Democratic Party is to intentionally lose. This prescient message from 2024 breaks it down.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Entering month 6 of the Mamdani mayorship of NYC and Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, and Murder is down an astounding 21%.

And he did so without "Adding 5000 new cops" to the streets. Instead, he's invested in public safety with free childcare, accessible infrastructure, and better funded schools and libraries. He's proven once again that if we want safer communities, we must invest in People—not Punishments.
