The Cowboys team doctor operated tonight on the QB for the Chiefs without anyone worrying he might be conflicted about helping a rival.

Because doctors, like presidents, swear an oath.

Yet we dismiss this as “just politics.”

RFK would like a word
It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.

A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."
I’m sorry but why is the head of cbs news on tv herself

There's ample evidence that Trump/Miller saw Abrego Garcia as a test for the broader MAGA project. Miller hopes to carve out power for Trump to remove people with zero legal constraints. JD Vance's dishonesty has been reprehensible. It all now looks even worse. 4/

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Here's Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) raging about Missouri's elections being "decided in California" in response to an article about Missourians protesting a gerrymandering petition in California -- except the article is about the town of California in Missouri.

BREAKING: A CDC panel voted to push back the first dose of the safe & effective hepatitis B vaccine.

This is a tragedy in the making.

This unfounded change to the childhood vaccine schedule will only lead to entirely preventable disease outbreaks in the years ahead.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Republicans allowed and encouraged this.
A total catastrophe. Completely unnecessary and cruel.
Also completely undermines American power.
And for what?
The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

WIC and SNAP are critical tools to prevent starvation.
#MOleg should fund the programs fully if the federal government refuses.
It won’t, but it should.

Trump is paying himself off. An example of the unified kleptocracy theory at work.
Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

Children. Cannot. Consent.
The Trump administration is offering $2,500 to unaccompanied migrant children ages 14 and older if they return to their home countries voluntarily, according to officials and records reviewed by The Post.
Trump administration offers migrant children cash to self-deport
DHS said the program was “strictly voluntary” and aimed at helping children return to their families. Immigrant advocates likened it to “cash bribes for kids.”

Either Dr. Ian Roberts is a master con artist or ICE is lying. He cannot have arrived in the US in 1999 and graduated from Coppin State in 1998. This is not an Orwell novel. Both of these things cannot be true.
