Dick Cheney was a mass murderer and a war criminal, who should have been tried in the Hague and put away for life.
That HE said there has never been "a greater threat to our republic [the US] than Donald Trump" speaks volumes about how dire the situation is.

Monkeys are brown, right? So of course the USA police execute them. Easier than, I dunno, thinking
A crash on a Mississippi highway gave a group of lab monkeys a taste of freedom.
But some were killed, police said, after the driver said the monkeys were infected and dangerous. Tulane University said they had not been exposed to any infectious agents. https://wapo.st/4ntQvqw

Gov. DeSantis directs Florida universities not to use H1B visas. This is such a self-owned. The US is a major exporter of higher ed & sells more of it to China each year than soy. But because a disfavored group offers that service, it's being attacked mercilessly. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

Physician Lauren Hughes was driving when another car T-boned her Subaru, totaling it and breaking her ankle.
Then the bills came: $63,976.35 in total because her insurance deemed her hospital stay not medically necessary.
