They break the rule, they kill the rule.

There is no “rules for them but not for us.”

Fuck that.

The GOP needs to get used to this.

When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.

Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

Yesterday I spoke on RTÉ Liveline about the book and video promoting Sitka sent to every primary school in Ireland.

One thing I didn't get to mention is that the tree is also highly invasive. Coincidentally, I later found one in my own place.

We may as well be planting rhododendron everywhere.

I think I may have an idea why the theaters are struggling. I paid 20 bucks for a seat then waited through 40 minutes of commercials before I got to see the movie I paid for….

USA leads the world in mass shootings because 90Million never vote, 150Million never vote in Midterms, & 75Million are Single Issue Voters who prioritize:

I'm watching the Jimmy Savile documentary on Netflix and it's remarkable how much it's actually about how Thatcherism hollowed out public institutions such as hospitals so that they came to rely on the largesse of private entrepreneurs who, now being indispensable, were able to act with impunity

Pa. court recognizes ‘reproductive autonomy’ as a right, strikes down ban on public funding for abortion In a 4-3 ruling, the Commonwealth Court found that abortion access is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Constitution.

Some good news here in the smart and humane state of Pennsylvania.

I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Warren Buffet says they paid $5 billion dollars in taxes last year and if 8 other Companies did the same then no regular American taxpayer would have to pay any Federal taxes at all!

Someone, anyone, send me the Epstein files and I will release them to the public from here in Canada.
I'm the new WikiLeaks from here in Canada. And I'm fed up with the cover-up.

I saw a disclaimer in an ebook the other day that said, 'This book is 100% human generated. I'd rather write a story that might have lumpy bits than generate a soulless, passionless, piece of crap." I'm thinking of adding something like that to my next book if I ever get around to writing it.

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

When the Oval Office becomes a stock tip line, it’s corruption in plain sight. We must continue to sound the alarm. Head to the Substack page for everything you need to know: www.adamkinzinger.com/p/this-isnt-...

still not over how we have confirmed proof via leaked documents that the SCOTUS shadow docket is a complete farce where the FedSoc justices get to unleash their unbridled political opinions and remake the American legal & economic system however they & their rich friends like

Township supervisors across Pa. urge colleagues to adopt zoning for data centers • Pennsylvania Capital-Star “You want to be able to set the rules,” Tina Garzillo said, urging township leaders to prepare for data center proposals before they arrive.

“I don’t see 300 people showing up outside the legislature pounding their fists, but they do show up in a township to express concerns about the safety of their communities, and the local officials are tasked with making sure that works."

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

11 Albums to Listen to With Headphones On - That Eric Alper There are albums you put on in the background.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

Israel has killed over 38,000 women and girls in Gaza, according to the U.N. Another reminder the war on Gaza is about collective punishment not self defense.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

Lots of ups and downs for sure. One of the sayings I really like is, “Losing weight is simple, but it isn’t easy.”

Emails show Amazon colluding with other firms to raise prices, California authorities allege The previously redacted messages were unveiled as part of an antitrust battle with California attorney general Rob Bonta

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

"This is an important thing to think about."

Did American voters really think it was cute to vote for someone whose thing is to call people names? It’s something we’re taught at an early age not to do.
Minor in the scheme of things, but such a telling characteristic.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Also, they partner with local bookstores so they get "credit" for sales. You can pick a specific bookstore (if they've signed up) to have your purchases reflect on.
You can search for things like "women owned" "black owned" etc.
