Since 2016, I have been thinking about how to make a compelling case to the American electorate for character and virtue in our national leaders.

Most people wouldn't want Trump as a friend, neighbor, employee, or co-worker. Yet, we elected him to a second term.

Character matters.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered Jair Bolsonaro, former president, to begin serving his 27 year sentence at the Federal Police headquarters—

I find myself simultaneously envious & hopeful the #Trump regime will find a similar moment of accountability

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

The most important thing to remember about all this fantasy-engineering of the Constitution is Madison's warning: If we suck as a people, no clever constitutional schemes will save us.

Great read from Dan Rather:
"...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..."

I remember a time (not too long ago) that we had the collective moral decency to agree, that if a politician spoke this way to a female reporter, that would be the end of their political career.

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

Kristi Noem claims that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. We're calling BS.
More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents
ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The offensive in the Pokrovsk direction was not an "easy walk" for the Russian Armed Forces even before, but the GUR, as always, decided to appear where the Russians did not expect them at all, and thoroughly tore apart their cabins.

However, the operation is still ongoing. So for now, everyone
