This is so fucked up even by the modern US's uniparty standards

BREAKING: The House just voted 216-212 to pass a national defense authorization act that takes a huge step towards meshing the U.S. and Israeli militaries.

This legislation would massively expand U.S.-Israel defense technology cooperation and integration.

One portion of the bill, the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative, would give Israel access to U.S. military and intelligence systems’ technology, information, and supply chain, while giving the U.S. very little in return.

Americans pay around $5 trillion in federal taxes each year and what do we get for it? Healthcare? State-of-the-art infrastructure? High-speed rail? Top-notch social services?

Nope. We give it to billionaires and defense contractors and live in a broken down country.

As someone who grew up in a Daily News household, this story was fascinating. Another great one from Moe T

Wrote a story about an allegation that Epstein helped Ghislaine Maxwell & her 8 siblings loot the New York Daily News in the early 1990s with help from Mort Zuckerman, a mafia truck driver union & the most infamous Russian mobster of the 1990s

As an American living in 2026, these Ad Council commercials about freedom from 2002 feel like found footage in a horror game.

I remember being told that this wasn’t real and I should be amazed at how well these algorithms could predict my purchasing preferences. Turns out they were doing exactly what everyone thought.

NYT editorial board with a bracing Jan. 6 anniversary reminder of Trump's role in stoking the attack, the violence against police & the complicity of elected R's and conservative media in whitewashing history. Names are named.

Highly problematic that a Trump-aligned partisan political operative, Scott Leiendecker, who runs a company riddled with other such operatives, just bought the voting machine company for 27 states, Dominion. Scott has also been repeating the same paper-ballot nonsense as Trump.

Everything in the US is fake. The lives, the deaths, the explanations, the hair, the skin, the teeth, the voice, the government, the opposition, god, the music, the education, the history, the conversation, and its absense. Nothing is authentic, or what it appears to be. It is all an exercise in control and deceit in a culture without an even intellectual understanding of the concept of truth

These brave young Mexican women are heroines in Texas. Silvana Garza Valdez and María Paula Zárate, both 19 years old, rescued 20 girls trapped by the flooding of the Guadalupe River.

Why isn’t the mainstream media covering this?
