GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.
Excellent call to arms from Liz Oyer.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Why would we do this?
To what end?
Why would we reward Russia for sending targeting data to Iran on U.S. military positions?
All of our actions here are indistinguishable from having a president as a witting or unwitting agent of Russia.
Israel has just issued a demand that all of Beirut’s southern suburbs, an area roughly the size of central Berlin or lower Manhattan, run for their lives. Tens of thousands are forced to flee- again. Real fears that they will level much of southern Beirut- an area where more than 500,000 live.
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

"If I had my life to live over, I would do it all again, but this time I would be nastier."
Jeanette Rankin of Montana took her seat as the first woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on this day in 1917
this should not be an acceptable failure mode for any product jfc how is this even a debate
This is a good response.
Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?
Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.
Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?
Noem: My condolences to their families
Raskin: You lied about them.
Cruel and inhumane prison conditions — or as Kristi Noem calls it: a great photo op
I would like to remind you all that we are broke, we have no money, we have to cut spending immediately for all of you entitlement bums on Medicare and Medicaid... but war, we have tons of money for that.
Election Day confusion due to rule changes can lead to disenfranchisement — people aren’t able to vote or their vote isn’t counted due to wrong place, wrong time. The disenfranchisement isn’t necessarily intentional, but can impact outcomes. And it often sparks rumors about intent.
Because insurgencies are so easy to control?
A South Carolina county is now ground zero for the largest measles outbreak since 2000. Many parents want the right to decide medical treatments for their children. But the recent contagion shows what happens when high vaccination rates — meant to keep children safe — are clipped.
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
By this logic, the US has been at war with Iran since 1953, when the CIA overthrew Mohammed Mossadegh to ensure that western oil companies, and not the Iranian people, controlled Iranian oil. It’s brutal puppet the Shah tortured & killed for 25 years. That’s why they chanted DEATH TO AMERICA in 1979
Fantastic op-ed by @hbanai.bsky.social on Iran.
Flames and black smoke were seen rising from the US Consulate in Dubai after a suspected attack amid Iranian retaliation for US-Israeli strikes.
after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.
He always tells us what he's going to do next. Connect the dots.
The U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran add yet more question marks around a U.S. economy already buffeted by on-and-off tariffs, weak hiring, and lingering inflationary pressures.
Refreshing to see a real subject matter expert! Highly recommend you follow @marieharf.bsky.social on Iran.
LOL: Schiff notes that Kristi Noem's propaganda was more expensive than a lot of movies.

A tweet from Charlie Spierling showing Trump hobnobbing in his beach club before starting a war of choice.
Reminder that Trump stopped into a $1M a plate fundraiser before starting a war that got American service members killed.
This is one of my pettier impulses but I want the record to reflect just how often this motherfucker said that Kamala Harris was the pro-war candidate in 2024.
Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."
