I have never felt better about including an information source as I do about the Associated Press since Trump banned them from the Whitehouse. Weak leaders hate troublesome people who ask too many questions.
It is the journalist's job to ask them anyway, after all.

It's far past time to take to the streets

Tensions between the US and Ukraine continue to grow as the White House claimed Donald Trump was “very frustrated” with Volodymyr Zelensky.
Trump ally Elon Musk also launched a blistering attack on Mr Zelensky, claiming – contrary to polling – that “he is despised by the people of Ukraine”.

The exponential rise in microplastic pollution over the past 50 years may be reflected in increasing contamination in human brains, according to a new study.
The new research analyzed samples of brain, liver and kidney tissues from 28 people who died in 2016 and 24 who died in 2024 in New Mexico.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
