The official death count in South Sudan is nearly 1,600, making it the worst cholera epidemic in the country’s history.

But that toll is a dramatic undercount.

Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.
Behind closed doors in Washington, top advisers made a series of decisions that had devastating repercussions for the poorest country on earth. We went to South Sudan and found people who died as a re...

I’m assuming that there will be no killing in Trump’s “Patriot Games,” but I guess we’ll have to wait until fall to see.

The “Warrior Dividend” Trump announced during his televised address to the nation is not a Christmas bonus made possible by tariff revenues, as the president suggested. The $1,776 payments to troops come from a congressionally-approved housing supplement — money they were already set to receive

Seventy years ago, Jonas Salk and his team worked in a lab between a morgue and a darkroom to develop the world’s first successful polio vaccine.

A filmmaker who made a documentary on Salk’s work explains why forgetting life before vaccines has real consequences: buff.ly/VYpqOy4

The world risks forgetting one of humanity’s greatest triumphs as polio nears global eradication − 70 years after Jonas Salk developed the vaccine in a Pittsburgh lab
Polio may finally be defeated in the next 5 years. Will the world recognize what an extraordinary achievement that is?

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

That arts center was named for an assassinated US president, John F. Kennedy. Money was raised to honor him. What kind of greasy shit would rename it from the "Kennedy Center" to the "Kennedy & Greasy Shit Center?" The greasy shit can set up his own arts center, instead of stealing honors from JFK.

This is the most narcissistic, petty display ever.

It’s so obvious Trump is unwell, but what I don’t get is how this is allowed to happen to the people’s house. He’s a temporary occupant. He doesn’t own the joint.
