Israel killed two UNICEF drivers trying to get WATER to families in Gaza. Is this story going to get any coverage?
Or is the ongoing genocide not newsworthy?
UNICEF@UNICEF
UNICEF is outraged by the killing of two drivers of trucks contracted by UNICEF to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip. The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza. UNICEF extends our condolences to the families of the men killed. Full statement: unicef.link/4cVCyP9

@HalfwayPost I wouldn’t be surprised at all. He’s got Miller, Vought Wiles, Blanche and Hegseth running the country.

Karoline Leavitt @PressSec just said “kiss my ass” to Chris Egal of ABC News then walked up to Rose McQuyen of AP and stuck her middle finger in her face. The entire Trump Administration’s walking around pissed off ever since the Iranians “gave it to the boss” square in the ass.

Her name is Meenu Batra.
Her parents were killed in India because of their Sikh religion.
She fled to the U.S. as a teenager.
She was granted legal status to live and work here.
She spent 20+ years as a certified federal court interpreter — her Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu skills requested in courtrooms nationwide.
Her youngest son just joined the U.S. Army.
On March 17, ICE arrested Meenu Batra, 53, at the airport while she was heading to a work trip.
She’s been in a detention facility near the Mexican border ever since.
Her immigration status means she can’t be sent back to India.
So the government could deport her to a third country she has never lived in.
Her son said: “I thought I would serve my country and serve my people. I didn’t know the people was everyone except my mom.”
DHS called her an “illegal alien.”
She helped interpret justice for decades. Now she can’t sleep at night because she doesn’t know where she’ll wake up.
Tell me — what exactly is it she did wrong?

@Suzierizzo1 This is a huge injustice that deserves more attention from the press and Congress.

Remember when Dick Durbin cornered Pam Bondi on the Epstein files
Durbin: “Who gave the order to flag records related to Trump?”
Bondi: “I’m not going to discuss anything about that.”
The files are real. The flagging is real. The refusal to answer is real.
You don’t dodge a question like that unless someone powerful is being protected. Fast forward to today and we have millions of files she claimed didn't exist that further implicated her boss.
She needs to stand trial.

The PBS NewsHour has documented the Trump family's unprecedented conflicts of interest. Jared Kushner, a 'volunteer' with no official position, has $6 billion in assets from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar-the same governments he is negotiating with on Middle East peace. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have invested in drone companies that are now competing for Pentagon contracts in the war their father started.
Forbes estimated that Eric and Don Jr., they were worth about $40, $50 million each before the 2024 election. About a year later, Eric at $400 million and Donald Trump Jr. at about $300 million.
They're using war and diplomacy to enrich themselves

In 1960, a quiet woman at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was handed a routine file. It was for a drug already sold in nearly 50 countries—a sedative called thalidomide, widely marketed as safe for pregnant women.
Most people would have signed off. Frances Oldham Kelsey didn’t.
New to the FDA, she noticed something others had overlooked—or ignored. The data was thin. Reports of nerve damage were buried. The safety claims felt… too clean. While the pharmaceutical company pushed aggressively for approval, sending repeated requests and mounting pressure, Kelsey held her ground. She asked for more studies. Then more. And more.
Behind the scenes, the pressure wasn’t subtle. Drug companies expected quick approvals. Delays meant lost profit. For a young female reviewer in a male-dominated system, saying “no” wasn’t just professional resistance—it was personal risk. She was challenging an industry that wasn’t used to being challenged, especially not by a woman.
Then the truth surfaced.
Across Europe, thousands of babies were being born with devastating deformities—missing limbs, malformed organs—traced back to thalidomide taken during pregnancy. It became one of the worst medical disasters of the 20th century.
Because Kelsey refused to approve it, the United States was largely spared.
Her skepticism saved countless lives.
In 1962, she was awarded the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service by John F. Kennedy—one of the highest honors a civilian could receive. But her impact didn’t stop there. Her stand forced sweeping changes in drug regulation, leading to stricter testing requirements and proof of efficacy before approval. The system became safer because she refused to bend.
She didn’t shout. She didn’t grandstand. She simply refused to compromise when it mattered most.
And that’s what made her dangerous—in the best possible way.
