Chicago Alderman William Hall wants to see Walgreens face charges for closing (over a shoplifting crisis)

The first decision you make every morning is the most important one!!! Not what you eat. Not whether you work out. Whether you reach for your phone or own your first hour. Here is what the first 60 minutes should look like... ✅Wake at a consistent time. ✅Get outside for morning light within 30 minutes. ✅Drink 16 ounces of water with electrolytes. ✅Do not check your phone until after you have moved your body and eaten real food.

No matter the poll, Bukele's approval rating is nearly always over 90%. In the last three polls, it's 93%, 93%, and 94%. I've never seen anything like this. We need to study this regime. The international community has massively underestimated the importance of public order.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 The U.S. sanctioned 5 Chinese refineries for buying Iranian oil China's response: a formal legal order declaring those sanctions null and void inside China. And prohibiting Chinese companies from complying with them. This is the first time China has ever formally activated its Blocking Rules. A legal mechanism it created in 2021 specifically for this moment. The practical effect: banks, shippers, and multinationals operating in China now face two contradictory legal obligations simultaneously. Obey Washington or obey Beijing. China just turned that impossible choice into a legal weapon. China bought 80% of Iran's exported oil in 2025. The U.S. financial blockade on Iran just met its largest structural obstacle.

As Attorney General and Governor, I fought to make North Carolina safer and more prosperous. I will continue that mission as your Senator.

“Microwave safe" plastic containers release billions of plastic particles into food. Heating your leftovers in plastic containers might be introducing a staggering amount of toxic material into your diet. A recent study found that microwaving plastic—even products labeled "microwave safe" by the FDA—can release up to 4.2 million microplastics and 1.2 billion nanoplastic particles per square centimeter. The process of microwaving subjects these containers to a "double whammy" of intense heat and hydrolysis, which causes the material to crack and shed microscopic fragments and chemical leachates directly into your food. While the long-term biological impact of ingesting these particles remains a subject of intense investigation, early evidence suggests they may be significantly more toxic than previously realized. The findings are so stark that leading environmental health experts are now calling on the FDA to overhaul its labeling guidelines. They argue that the current "microwave safe" designation is misleading and that the public should be alerted that no commercially available plastic container is truly safe for use in the microwave. source: Hussain, K.

Angry? Livid? Furious? I’m not sure there’s a word to describe exactly how pissed off I am about this 60 Minutes episode. Where was 60 Minutes when people like Greg Biffle and Adam Smith flew helicopters into WNC to save trapped families? Where were they when Shawn Hendrix and countless others delivered RVs to those facing winter weather with nowhere to sleep? While Margo, dozens of others, and I gave up everything to put 1000% toward making sure hillbillies had what they needed, where was CBS? I raised money for Haywood County. I raised money for Black Mountain Home for Children. I spent hours on the phone with elected officials, keeping Ted Budd’s team aware of what was happening on the ground. I debunked lies and exposed bad actors. I ran supplies. I handed a microphone to people who lost everything. I posted around the clock about what was needed and where. And I did all of that while in shock and mourning for my mountains. We BEGGED journalists to do their jobs. Instead, they vilified conservative victims. Now they want to vilify those of us who got off our rear ends and made shit happen? To CBS and 60 Minutes, from the bottom of my heart: Go fuck yourselves.
