So gross

They are “questioning whether” he has grown horribly unbalanced? How many more bizarre, unhinged things must he say or do to make them go beyond simply questioning this?

Why don’t you mention in this story that the U.S. manufacturing sector currently employs about 85-k fewer workers than it employed one year ago?

Thanks for saying this. In addition, that line was added to the pledge many years after it was first written. The “under God” phrase was inserted to counter the perceived hostility that Communism exhibited toward organized religion.

Strawberry Fields Forever by Candyflip is a good one.

Only steps from a Metro station — all of those parking garages/spaces are insane.

Me too - so sad what Bezos has done to it.

Increasing subscription rates AFTER the Post has laid off a bunch of staff and reporters, so it is producing LESS meaningful content!? Bezos can take his rate increase and stick it where the sun don’t shine.

Nice outcome, but the 2nd period might have been the ugliest performance I have seen by the Caps in a long, long time.

Zuckerberg believes that autocracy is stylish and fashion-forward. That’s what we should worry about — not whether he and his wife were dazzled by the models who strolled past them at the Prada show.

The U.S. Border Patrol abandoned a blind, disabled Rohingya refugee to die in frigid Buffalo, a new low for the Trump regime, writes @willbunch.bsky.social.

He’s a gun nut and votes wrong on most issues. But he is dead right on both of the issues that he raised in this speech.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

The Department of Justice has illegally “withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor."

The biggest coverup in presidential history just got worse.

Release the files.

As one of your constituents, I want to thank you for continuing to highlight this issue. It’s so disturbing that the Trump administration has done nothing to try to end the war other than try to charm and placate Putin.

It has become increasingly clear that he wants it to crumble.

Alford needs a geography lesson. He writes that Americans in 2024 “voted for border enforcement.” Last time I checked, the cities of Minneapolis and Portland, ME are far, far away from our southern border.

N.I.H. Director Will Temporarily Run C.D.C. in Leadership Shake-Up

Dr. Michael T. Osterholm, an infectious disease expert at the University of Minnesota, called the arrangement “a recipe for disaster.” Given the deep cuts at the C.D.C., he said, “I think the C.D.C. is one disaster away from being a disaster itself.”

No surprise that full deregulation is what Trump wants. Dems need to make this an issue and work to block any federal legislation that fast-tracks deregulation without any reasonable consumer safeguards.

The chief law enforcement officer of the U.S. is asked to come before a House committee. And she says the topic they should focus on is the stock market. She’d rather talk about anything but the Epstein scandal and how DOJ has mishandled it.

The Senate may not pass it, and Trump certainly won’t sign it. But it’s still an important message to send to Herr Trump.

Nonsense. Wall Street should not “adjust” the new jobs data. If deporting thousands of workers is negatively impacting our economy, then we should face that reality — not try to airbrush it away.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention without prescribed medication, lawsuit says The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress, according to a federal lawsuit.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.

“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

Another reason why I don’t mind seeing the Bezos’ version of the Post rapidly shed subscribers.

Thanks to the @apnews.com for not merely calling this a “controversial” post.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

This is outrageous and should be challenged in court. It’s yet another reason why we should call it the Trump organized crime syndicate, not the Trump administration.

1/ In the US, horrifying footage shows ICE agents killing civilians and terrorizing communities in broad daylight.

In the West Bank, settlers are filmed beating families and burning homes.

As Jews, we are obliged to speak out.
