ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary

Hegseth takes another step backward, scraps Pentagon policy on flu vaccines For nearly 250 years, U.S. military leaders have prioritized inoculating the troops. It’s a lesson the current defense secretary hasn’t learned.

During the Revolutionary War, smallpox took such a brutal toll that George Washington decided to inoculate the troops in 1777, ensuring the survival of the United States.

This came to mind watching Hegseth scrap the Pentagon’s policy on flu vaccines for no reason.

A GOP proposal would grant the fossil fuel industry immunity from laws or lawsuits.

Once again, Republicans are trying to protect corporate polluters at Americans' expense.

Bellingcat founder @eliothiggins.bsky.social said: "Palantir sells operational software to defence, intelligence, immigration & police agencies. These 22 points aren’t philosophy floating in space, they’re the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it’s advocating."

Tennessee man set to be executed files motion claiming DNA evidence will prove his innocence Tony Carruthers is set to be executed in May for a triple kidnapping and murder in 1994.

A potentially innocent man is set to be executed by Tennessee in the coming weeks even though no physical evidence links him to the crime.

We're demanding that the state runs DNA and fingerprint tests that could show Tony Carruthers didn't kill anyone.

The application has remained stable since the evening of April 16 and we have seen no evidence of unauthorized access to private user data. Given the ongoing stability, this will be our final update.

Russia. Russia. Russia.

Trump is gutting America’s leadership in science, medicine, and research.

Ceding ground on the global stage is not America First.

California will never follow in this short-sidedness. Total madness!

Wow.

Trump finally admits American families and businesses paid the cost of tariffs.

Palantir wants to bring back the draft (And also the Axis Powers.)

"… the engineering elite must participate in 'the articulation of a national project,’ wrote #Palantir co-founder Alex Karp.

Sen. Ossoff is right to call this out: the corruption has spiraled out of control.

Jared Kushner operates above the rules because of who his family is.

Drug policies should be rooted in supporting our communities — not criminalizing them.
