If you quit shopping at the grocery store, they wouldn't notice you were gone. If you took a slice of your grocery budget and spent it at a farmer's market, you'd put money into your local economy and maybe even save a farm.

Obama tried and republicans watered it down then voted 77 times it repeal it and are now just killing Obamacare.

"Trump is trying to create a new status quo where his say-so is enough to overturn the will of two thirds of Congress on spending matters. It’s un-American. It’s emperor stuff. If they had a shred of dignity left, they’d impeach the son of a bitch today." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

Let’s fucking go,Ireland has defeated the U.S😂

24 hours ago he was on the streets alone and broken. Jimbo is only a young boy if about 2 but he looks ancient from the pain. Tonight he is full of medicines and good healthy food. He’s as clean as a whistle and his bed is extra comfy. The comeback has started ❤️ (7/7)

Donald Trump is running the greatest grift in American history. It’s corruption at a scale we've never seen in our lifetime.

In just recent months, Russia’s oil refining has dropped by 10%, and Russian oil companies are being forced to shut down their oil wells. As for Russia’s overall state revenues – thanks to our comprehensive pressure at all levels – within the first five months of this year, Russia’s deficit has already grown far beyond what it had planned for the entire year. Putin has, of course, built a war chest – but certainly not enough to fight indefinitely. Every one of our responses, every joint step of pressure together with our partners, pushes Russia closer to ending its war.

After this Thursday’s show, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his regime. Farewell, and thank you, Stephen. robertreich.substack.com/p/farewell-and…

Update from the Highway of Death, the land corridor between Russia and Crimea is now under the control of Ukraine's Armed Forces. A week into the campaign - military, logistics and fuel will no longer pass.

How calm would you be if you were to be the customer? Matured minds only! 🤔

In the richest city in the richest country in the history of the world, nobody should be going hungry. That's why we're opening five city-owned grocery stores, one in each borough, starting with The Bronx. Lower Prices. Good food. Publicly owned. Hunts Point next year. Every borough by 2029.

When Obama was President, he made the USA look great again.

President Trump's $1.776 billion settlement with the IRS is one of the single most corrupt acts in American history. They moved fast to avoid the scrutiny of the judicial process, and very likely violated the Constitution. This is an outrage.

Why do taxpayers have to pay for private business ventures? Why are taxpayers funding everything from data centers to Amazon warehouses? If these rich assholes are so fucking rich, why can't they fund their own businesses??

A tiny bee just did what chemotherapy couldn't. Scientists in Australia discovered that honeybee venom can wipe out 100% of aggressive breast cancer cells in under 60 minutes. And the healthy cells around them? Barely touched. The breakthrough came from Dr. Ciara Duffy and her team at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, working alongside the University of Western Australia. They tested venom drawn from 312 honeybees and bumblebees across Australia, Ireland, and England. The target: triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer. Two of the deadliest, most stubborn forms of the disease. The weapon: melittin. The same tiny peptide that makes a bee sting burn. At one specific dose, melittin tore through cancer cell membranes completely within an hour. Within just 20 minutes, it shut down the chemical signals cancer cells need to grow and multiply. Bumblebee venom, which lacks melittin, did nothing. Zero effect, even at high concentrations. Scientists then recreated melittin synthetically in the lab and got almost identical results, meaning no bees need to be harmed to develop the therapy. Published in the peer-reviewed journal npj Precision Oncology, the findings are still early-stage. Human trials haven't happened yet. But one thing is clear. Nature has been hiding answers in plain sight all along, sometimes inside the smallest creatures on Earth.

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. cnbc.com/2026/05/18/tru…

This is why I’ve loved her since I was a teenager…..🫶👏🏻

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: 28 Disney cruise members were arrested for human trafficking. This story has been getting swept under the rug, so let’s dig it up. CBP says 27 of the 28 crew members arrested were involved in either the "receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography." Twenty-six of those detained were from the Philippines; another crew member was from Indonesia and the other was from Portugal. CBP says all of those detained are being returned to their countries of citizenship. "We have a zero-tolerance policy for this type of behavior and fully cooperated with law enforcement," a spokesperson for Disney Cruise Line told Variety. "While the majority of these individuals were not from our cruise line, those who were are no longer with the company."
