U.S. nursing homes are fabricating schizophrenia diagnoses to hide their use of dangerous antipsychotic drugs to subdue dementia patients, a government watchdog report found. The drugs increase the risk of falls, strokes and death. wapo.st/4tfSUsr

This is page 36 of Kevin Warsh’s federal ethics form. It shows over $100 million in secret assets. Why can’t we have a Fed chair who has a remotely normal financial existence? Who do you think this guy is going to work for?

Chile is advancing toward a nationwide ban on octopus farming, positioning itself as a pioneer in aquatic animal welfare in Latin America. In October 2025, Chilean Lower House Representative Marisela Santibáñez introduced Bill 17913-12, a groundbreaking legislative proposal supported by seven fellow parliamentarians and advocacy organizations including Fundación Veg and the Aquatic Life Institute. If enacted, the bill would prohibit intensive octopus aquaculture throughout the country, making Chile the first nation in Latin America to implement such a comprehensive restriction on this emerging industry. The legislation is driven by growing recognition of octopuses as highly intelligent, sentient, and solitary animals whose complex behaviors and cognitive capacities make them poorly suited to the confined, high-density conditions of industrial farming tanks. Experts highlight that octopuses thrive in enriched, individual environments and suffer in crowded setups, raising serious ethical concerns about welfare. Environmentally, the bill aims to avert risks similar to those seen in Chile's salmon farming sector, including nutrient pollution from shallow-water operations, habitat degradation, biodiversity loss, and potential impacts on wild populations and marine ecosystems. By acting preemptively—before large-scale commercial octopus farms become established—the proposal seeks to protect public health, prevent ecological harm, and uphold higher standards for sentient marine life. This move aligns with international trends in cephalopod welfare (e.g., emerging concerns in Europe and elsewhere) and challenges the global push toward intensive aquaculture for species like octopuses. If passed, it would set a powerful regional and global precedent, reinforcing the idea that certain animals deserve legal safeguards against factory-style farming.

Wow. Several years ago, it would be hard to imagine a story like this. Now, it's not routine, but not anyhing out of the ordinary. A ground robot evacuated a 77 year old Ukrainian lady from Lyman. Her home of 53 years was destroyed by Russians. She was walking along a shelled road when pilots of the 60th Separate Mechanized Brigade spotted her. They sent a ground robot to her rescue, covered with a blanket saying "Grandma, get in!" Three other civilians who were also walking were escorted by drones to the evacuation point where an armored vehicle took them to safety. The operation lasted four hours. 📹 Third Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

I actually can’t wrap my head around the nerve to attempt to re-open this camp less than a year after one of the most tragic events in Texas history. Truly unbelievable.

The federal government wants your livestock inventory for the same reasons they want to know how many and kind of weapons you own. It's none of their business.

RTF, Front Range Equine Rescue and The Gila Herd Foundation outlined violations of federal law in USFS's decision to remove #horses that the agency classified as “unauthorized livestock” — an attempt to strip them of federal protections. ⬇️

We sued the Trump admin to get access to their secret contract on Trump's White House Ballroom project. The findings? Nothing but anonymity for billionaires and corporate donors. Hiding the money trail is critical for Trump's schemes.

The World Economic Forum is now calling for millions of cats and dogs worldwide to be killed in an attempt to reduce the carbon footprint that they produce as a result of eating meat.

👁‍🗨Innocent driver flagged as a Flock target A DMV error mixing up an O for a zero has this Colorado man getting pulled over like he’s a fugitive, all because an ALPR database "hot list" keeps auto‑pinging cops every time he drives past a camera. "It's confusing and creepy."

Hello, @USCG, we’d like to report a squatter.

Pay attention to what is happening at the Department of Justice. The New York Times reported today that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is moving forward with investigations and prosecutions against five people. Here are the five.🧵

🚨🇨🇳 Once digital ID is in position, you have nowhere to run! One Chinese health official is leading hundreds of people to a quarantine camp. You may ask why didn't people run away? Because they all had an expired vaccine passport, which made it impossible for them to rent a hotel, take a taxi, eat at restaurant..they had nowhere to run.

Walling off the Rio Grande in Big Bend would end the river recreation economy in Far West Texas, turn rural communities back into ghost towns, and strip us all of one of the great, storied rivers of the American Southwest. And for what? Nobody crosses the border here.

🇺🇸 Girls at a NC school are holding their bladders all day because the administration won't keep boys out of their restrooms. The principal said "go elsewhere if uncomfortable." Parents, if this isn't your line in the sand, what is?

This footage is shaking the internet. What was supposed to be a routine medical check at Marcy Correctional Facility turned into a tragedy that no one was meant to see. Here Is The Story: Robert Brooks, a 43 year old musician, was taken to the prison infirmary for an exam. Because of medical privacy, the officers believed there were no cameras in the room but they didn't realize their own body cams were still recording. The footage captured a brutal 10 minute assault while Brooks was handcuffed and compliant. He tragically passed away the next morning from his injuries. Since the video went public, over a dozen staff members have been fired, and several officers are now facing murder and manslaughter charges. A firing squad sounds like proper punishment, don’t you think so?

Nothing to see here, folks. Just a billionaire hosting a private party for the President and Acting Attorney General while his massive media merger is under review at the Justice Department, it's not a REAL scandal like Hunter Biden selling some of his paintings. 🙄

A fumaça de alecrim no galinheiro é um método antigo que ainda funciona. 🌿 Antes dos desinfetantes industriais, os camponeses italianos e os seus homólogos franceses, queimavam molhos de alecrim seco no estábulo e no galinheiro uma vez por mês. Não era um ritual. Era uma técnica. O alecrim queimado liberta em fase gasosa cânfora, cineol, alfa-pineno e ácido rosmarínico. Em espaço fechado, estes compostos atingem concentrações letais para os artrópodes: moscas, mosquitos, ácaros, pulgas e piolhos, sem afetar mamíferos e aves, que toleram concentrações muito superiores. É esta seletividade que tornava a técnica viável num galinheiro cheio. — O ácaro vermelho (Dermanyssus gallinae) é o parasita mais temido na avicultura. Esconde-se nas fendas da madeira dos poleiros durante o dia e suga o sangue das galinhas à noite. Uma infestação forte provoca anemia, queda na postura e mortalidade dos pintos. Os camponeses fumigavam o galinheiro vazio (galinhas fora), deixando a fumaça penetrar em cada fenda durante uma hora. O efeito durava 2 a 3 semanas. As moscas dos estábulos; Stomoxys calcitrans e Musca domestica, caíam em poucos minutos. A fumigação mensal interrompia progressivamente o ciclo reprodutivo. A tradição não se limitava ao alecrim: • Sálvia seca: mesmos princípios ativos, usada onde faltava alecrim. • Zimbro seco: fumaça resinosa eficaz contra moscas e mosquitos, clássica nos estábulos alpinos. • Lavanda seca: fumigação dos quartos contra percevejos; o linalol queimado tornava as fendas da madeira inabitáveis. 🌿 A fumigação com ervas também tinha um papel de desodorização. A fumaça aromática mascarava o amoníaco do estrume; um irritante respiratório real para bovinos, suínos e aves. Reduzir essa concentração melhorava concretamente o bem-estar dos animais. 🌿 Hoje, para quem gere um pequeno galinheiro biológico onde os tratamentos químicos não são desejáveis, queimar um molho de alecrim seco no galinheiro vazio uma vez por mês continua a ser um tratamento complementar contra o ácaro vermelho: sem resíduos, sem contaminação dos ovos e com o custo de um ramo.

Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators. No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich. What a distaster.

A damning statistic.
