Food photog Francesca CAN’T fall for her client. Sure, Luca’s a legit snack but also part of a celeb couple the world adores. After feelings boil over, Luca reveals it’s a fauxmance. Too bad undoing a fake dating contract is FAR harder than setting one up. #questpit #r #romcom #amquerying

It says a lot about where we're going that the BBC is now running stories in which they ask lifeboat crews whether they will apologise for using their boats to save lives

He has no idea and doesn’t care. He just wants the tax cuts and then declare victory. Little else matters to him.

Are you paying attention?
Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered.
I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

❗️🇺🇸🇾🇪 Yemen has officially declared its intent to enter the war. The country's military says it is ready to target US ships in its territorial waters. This follows earlier warnings from the Houthis in case of American strikes on Iran.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

This matters. The world should be holding Israel to account instead of letting spout propaganda in all our countries.

It's amazing that any American women are willing to have intercourse at all, there is no 100% guaranteed contraceptive and the stakes just seem far too high to take that gamble. Even those who want to get pregnant have to consider the reality if something goes tragically wrong with the foetus.
There was an explosion at a reproductive health facility in Palm Springs, California.
The bomb squad is on the scene.
One person is reportedly dead, unclear the number of injuries.

This is completely wrong. I've lived in Europe. They don't want our cars because:
1. Too big for roads and parking spaces
2. Too fuel inefficient in countries where gas is $6/gallon
3. Considered low quality for the cost
