The Trump regime deported a 2-month-old baby and his family after the infant was hospitalized following their detention at the Dilley family detention center.

Rep. Joaquin Castro says the family was shipped off with only the money in their commissary — $190.

The cruelty is endless.

Some dogs know hundreds of object names. But do they actually understand language – or just associations? Fascinating new research explores what dogs really grasp when we talk to them.
How much can dogs really understand us?
Some dogs appear to have an exceptional ability to learn words. Are they unusually gifted? As linguistically gifted as a toddler?

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.

Quite a return on investment, huh?

Holy shit.

A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

This is deeply concerning. These chemicals are additionally having impacts on aquatic insects due to dogs swimming in natural bodies of water.
I stopped putting chemical tick control on my dogs due to this.
Half our songbirds have vanished in 50 years. New research shows birds that use wool and fur to line nests were exposed to pet and livestock flea treatment. Eggs and chicks are being contaminated – with deadly implications. Should these medicines be regulated?

Don’t forget, when Pauline drops racist bombshells into the media for everyone to react to, she’s now being funded by Gina Rinehart, major contributor to racist propaganda group Advance and inspired by MAGA-guru Steve “flood the zone with bullshit” Bannon.
The offence is the point.
