US Central Command’s (CENTCOM) withdrawal from key bases in Syria illustrates that the United States is gradually shifting its counter-Islamic State in Iraq and al Sham (ISIS) framework to engage with the Syrian government rather than the SDF. (1/7)

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs.

His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims.

Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.

They not only failed to get an indictment, they failed to get a single grand juror’s vote. It’s probable that this has never happened before.

Likely because the DOJ has never sent hack political appointees to attempt to get indictments on sitting Congress members over protected speech before.

Breaking: House passes new version of SAVE Act, worst voter suppression bill considered by Congress. Could disenfranchise:

-69 mil married women who took partner’s name
-21 mil w/out valid drivers license

Good that the grand jury rejected this obviously illegal move to indict sitting Senators for making true statements. But horrifying that the government tried. The DOJ has been fully corrupted into a Trump propaganda arm. It will have to be rebuilt from the ground up

"“He said, ‘Mom, they’re kidnapping kids. Why would anybody do that? Why would people treat each other like that?’”

Alex Pretti's parents rip the White House's "sickening lies" about him and recall how his care for others showed when he was in Catholic grade school.
