Bloomberg: President Donald Trump is preparing to release a fiscal year 2027 budget plan on Friday that will frame his party’s midterm election message around a massive defense buildup, partially paid for by cuts to domestic agencies and health-care entitlements. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Just had this conversation with colleagues at Taras Shevchenko National University: Americans largely do not understand from whence their prosperity comes, and the MAGA gang is actively, and blindly, demolishing the foundations of that prosperity. But there’s no going back…
I was shocked to know that China has around 50,000 km of this HSR network and it only started building this in 2008. On directly competitive routes, Chinese HSR has led to a 24.6% reduction in flights and a 28.2% decrease in air passenger volume.
#The heroic doctor Hossam Abu Safiya is among the prisoners scheduled for execution 💔
The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday
When I was a kid, people said television was eroding society and corrupting the youth. Since then we’ve had the same story for videogames, smartphones, social media, and now AI. Not to deny these technologies have all *changed* society, but the apocalypticism never quite pans out
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
This is insane. 59 million family caregivers provided 49.5 billion hours of unpaid care in a single year, with a total value of $1.01 trillion, according to the AARP. These Americans carry our system on their backs, but their labor is uncompensated and treated as invisible.
NEW: Republicans are considering reductions in federal health spending to help pay for a budget bill containing as much as $200 billion to fund the Iran war and immigration enforcement. axios.com/2026/03/30/gop…
This is what the Left always accused us of being about. Damned if the Republican Party hasn't made it true.
A lot of the problems in the world right now can be explained by this video. For one thing, it’s a big reason why the US government is so unaccountable to public opinion. These are *college students.* A significant amount of the country is totally checked out and comfortable enough not to think it matters.
