This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

How the fire affected NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory: About 210 employees lost their homes. Others were displaced by damage to their neighborhoods. Employees kept the institution running, some putting worst-case emergency training to use. @corinnepurtill.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory unscathed by Eaton fire, but not its workforce

Explaining in Five Paragraphs the Scam Donald Trump Just Pulled on 150 Million American TikTok Users
Make no mistake, one of the most popular apps in the world was just down in the U.S. for 14 hours because Donald Trump ordered that it be taken down. Why? So he could be seen as a hero in “saving” it.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

call me crazy but I don't believe trump's net worth increased by $32 billion because he launched a pump and dump memecoin scam yesterday, and accounting for it that way on any kind of paper including press reports is deeply silly

Trump launches crypto meme coin, ballooning net worth ahead of inauguration
A president-elect launching a new business product is a highly unusual move, and it is a major concern for ethics watchdogs.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
