Why exactly is Graham Platner even considered qualified to be a United States senator in the first place, exactly? I keep feeling like I'm missing something here. Is he literally just some random guy left-wing people like?

First Irish politician out of the traps to call for Aughinish Alumina to stop sending material to Russia. This is going to snowball over the weekend once other revelations about the plant come out.

We tried and tried and tried to warn you about this guy.

Again what the hell is wrong with the media that they refuse to cover this as a major story. This is getting ridiculous.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN-5) was the only democrat who voted “no” on the Ukraine Support Act.

Spock’s death in Wrath of Khan (1982) is still peak sci-fi heartbreak.
“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few… or the one.”

Quiet dignity. Final Vulcan salute. Pure sacrifice. Leonard Nimoy nailed it. This scene changed Star Trek forever.

It's incredible that Marxists still insist the Russian war against Ukraine is a "proxy war". A proxy war by who? The Americans pulled all their aid over a year ago. Europe? Ukrainians are currently training and teaching Europeans how to fight wars, not the other way around.

Wasn’t her husband assassinated in broad daylight here in the U.S. while Trump was president?

The U.S. is almost matching China in battery investment!

🚨TRUMP CAN’T LIFT HIS ARM?

HOLY SHIT: Trump’s voice sounds unusually weak, he appears to be slurring some of his words, and he barely raises his right arm throughout the clip.

He does not look well at all. Something is seriously wrong with him and we deserve to know the truth.

Shouldn't a requirement of being energy secretary is knowing how energy works????

🇸🇪⚡ Swedish proposal could ruin Russian summer
Migration Minister Johan Forssell (M) is now coming out with a Swedish initiative that could hit Russian tourists hard in the EU.

Last year, 477,878 Schengen visas were issued to Russian citizens.

Forssell: “It is completely unreasonable that Russian citizens are enjoying luxury holidays while Ukrainians are dying.”

Sweden wants EU countries to be able to deny visas based on nationality — something that is currently not allowed.

The proposal has the support of all Nordic countries, the Baltics, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Poland.

Why Sweden is pushing this:
– stop Russian luxury tourism
– reduce security threats and espionage
– close loopholes used by the Kremlin
– make a political mark during ongoing wars

Forssell: “We must put an end to Russian weekend trips around the Mediterranean.”

What is happening now:
The proposal is at the EU migration ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg.
If it goes through, Russian travel to the EU could be severely restricted — perhaps as early as this summer, depending on processing times.

In short:
Sweden wants to close the door to Russian tourism.
The question is whether the EU dares to take the step.

Ethanol is the biggest boondoggle in America. It is a profit center for John Deere and ADM and returns nothing of value to the taxpayer or to rural economies.

Moving Dungeons and Dragons completely away from physical books to a monthly online subscription fee with additional micro transactions is fucking terrible for players, especially to teenagers and people in lower economic situations.

The Western US is highly urbanized, sparsely populated, and vast.

It's not wholly wrong to think of it as an archipelago of cities connected by thin strips of asphalt.

Many who've never been don't understand this. It's nothing like the East, with its many, many towns.

[Jakub Janovsky @Rebel44CZ]

If true, this crap (especially in the context of the overall very hostile US behavior towards the EU+) will cost the USA a lot of future European arms contracts...

A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear – in just five days.

Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported “dramatic and rapid” tumor regression in the first patients treated with a next-generation form of CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain cancers known.

The therapy, called CARv3-TEAM-E, was developed to overcome a major hurdle in treating solid tumors: their ability to hide from the immune system.

The personalized treatment reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack the tumor, and in one extraordinary case, nearly eliminated the cancer within just five days. This novel therapy is designed to target multiple features of the tumor at once, a strategy that may help overcome the common challenge of treatment resistance in solid tumors like glioblastoma.

Although the tumors eventually returned, the early outcomes were described as unprecedented. One patient saw a 60% reduction in tumor size that lasted for half a year—an impressive result in a cancer known for its aggressiveness.

The trial’s success marks a major step forward for immunotherapy in brain cancer and raises new hopes for long-term control or even a cure. Researchers are now working to refine the treatment and extend its effects, with the ultimate goal of turning a once-terminal diagnosis into a survivable condition.

THIS is how they keep "Tesla Energy" numbers climbing. They create their own demand and shuffle dollars make and forth calling it revenue. Which it is, but the PRETENSE is that there is broader market for these products than actually exists.
