Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.
Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.
Shameful.

The game plan is presumably to scapegoat Bradley and then offer him a pardon if he keeps quiet.

A half dozen senior Republicans in Congress have now made clear that pending congressional hearings, they have no intention of expending political capital in support of Pete Hegseth. The odds that he's going down have just doubled.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

1. Trump is the most corrupt US president ever.

Canada’s position is “defence” not “offence”. The increased spending is about sovereignty and defending that sovereignty. Which includes infrastructure spending. It is just reckless misinformation to claim it’s about “bombing other countries”.
It’s also a jobs program.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.
