"These are not signs of a democracy under threat," writes @eric-reinhart.com. "They are symptoms of one that eroded – if it ever existed – long ago."
"Why, then, does American political discourse remain fixated on a catastrophe that always seems imminent but never quite arrives?"
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
Many agree.
If Iran doesn't bite, I'm sure it's not beneath them (US & Israel) to plot their own. In any case, something is about to happen before the midterm election.

'Our findings redefine SARS2 infection a condition of long-lasting immune compromise. ScienceDirect International Journal of Infectious Diseases Volume 163, February 2026, 108287 Persistent attenuation of lymphocyte subsets after mass SARS-CoV-2 infection Results During mass infection, T cells, CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, NK cells, and B cells dropped significantly. Even 20 months post-infection, CD8+ T cells remained 9.9% below baseline. Baseline lymphocyte subsets differed significantly by sex and age. Immune recovery varied by age and sex, with older adults and males showing prolonged lymphopenia. In cardiovascular disease patients, T lymphocytes remained 72.9% below baseline for 20 months post-infection. Conclusion Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise. The sustained subnormal

It depends on the type of party. If it's a dinner party with less than 8 guests, then B; if it's a large gathering with more than 20 guests, then C.

Because housing assistance is drastically underfunded, only 1 in 4 eligible low-income households receive it.
Providing it to all who qualify would cost $118 billion a year—a tiny fraction of the proposed $1.5 *trillion* defense budget for 2027.
Poverty would fall 13% overall and 23% for children.

This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him.
This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.
The new reality:
United States is a corporation, not a country.
Congress is 535 board members, with 95% of them there for profit and gain.
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
At least 111 substances of unknown safety have been added to foods, drinks and supplements sold in the United States without alerting the US Food and Drug Administration, a new investigation found.

NEW: The federal government has your Social Security number, your medical records, your tax returns, your voter data, and much more personal information.
The Trump administration is sharing it illegally, and they're handling it carelessly. 🧵
With allies like that, would needs enemies?!
Exactly.
As clearly as I can put it: This is an illegal war being waged by a sociopathic president whose goal is to distract people from his failing administration.
🎯
nazis frothing at the mouth in bloodlust swinging their war boners around
liberals glad it happened but mildly disapproving of the lack of paperwork
socialists being told to shut up about it because it risks the midterms somehow.
yep just like every other resource war of imperialist aggression
I really hope so.
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
If you’re still carrying the torch for the Democrats or spending your time defending them, please, I beg you, look around.
They’re saying they agree with this illegal war, they just demand the privilege to make it legal.
This isn’t opposition. This isn’t capitulation. This is cooperation.
