The thousands of volunteer editors who write, edit, and fact-check Wikipedia adhere remarkably well, over all, to one of its core values: the neutral point of view. But Elon Musk, like others on the right, insists the site is biased against conservatives.

What remains of the CDC after Tuesday’s cuts is a hobbled agency, with a smaller global footprint, devoting fewer resources to environmental health, occupational health and disease prevention.

From 1963 to early 1964, as the Beatles travelled from Liverpool and London and Paris to New York, Washington, and Miami, Paul McCartney shot dozens of rolls of film. More than five decades later, hundreds of his photographs were rediscovered.

When RFK Jr. took the helm of the Department of Health and Human Services in February, he promised “radical transparency.” But when the Trump administration laid off thousands of employees on Tuesday, the targets included the very people who communicated the health department’s work to Americans.

A measure to cancel some Canadian tariffs is all but certain to stall in the House. But with a handful of Republicans in favor, the vote sent a signal of opposition to the levies.

I wish there was any recognition in US politics that the ONLY time in history — ever in all of history! — NATO has actually activated Article 5 mutual defense was to help the US after 9/11 — and then NATO fought with us for 20 yrs in Afghanistan. We have been the biggest beneficiary of NATO blood.
Vance tells Fox the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal.
And he describes British and French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.
