Pope Leo, the first pope from the US—a country which does not have universal health coverage—calls universal healthcare a 'moral imperative' at a conference with WHO and European bishops this week: “Health cannot be a luxury for the few.”

@blockedfreq hearing those boos

FWIW, the discussion inside of the PA Dem Party these days is more about “who replaces Fetterman?” in ‘28, whether or not he leaves voluntarily. The main issue for them, again, is that he is hard to work with and has been abdicating his responsibilities w/ core constituencies.

@statnews conducted a national survey of NIH-funded researchers and found that, a year after Trump's return, many scientists are reeling, with some closing labs entirely. ‘This is like the Titanic,' one respondent told me. For full details, see our story statnews.com/2026/03/19/nih…

"The Case Against Universal Free Lunch"

23 years ago tonight, in an Oval Office address, George W. Bush announced the start of the Iraq War. 4,492 American service members were killed in the years that followed. 32,292 were wounded. At least 200,000 Iraqi civilians died. The humanitarian impact was immense. America wasted 9 years and 3 trillion dollars on a war that never should have happened—a war predicated on a lie, pushed by warmongering neocon politicians, and paid for by everyday people. Imagine what that $3 trillion could have bought here at home. Imagine the decade we could have spent focusing on America, our people, our place in the world. Imagine the lives our service members, stolen from us, would have lived. But instead, the president took us to war. Yet another costly quagmire in the Middle East. I voted against the Iraq War. I knew the White House would lie to Members of Congress and voters alike to manufacture the pretext for a conflict—and they did. Now, Iran is shaping up to be Iraq 2.0—new lies, new bloodthirsty politicians, still paid for by American families. Yesterday, we learned that Trump wants another $200 billion for his war. That's after Congress already gave the Pentagon more money than it even asked for in the budget. Enough is enough. It is not too late to learn from the past. Stop this madness. Bring our troops home. End this war.

This is wild. People in *every single one* of the top US allies now think it's better to depend on China than the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

Absolutely fundamentally fascist & hateful & unamerican

@jason_paladino the stench of desperation is wafting through the air

definitely what you post when things are going well

@thesherylralph real ones know

Thank you 😊

Will this "Pearl Harbor" mess hurt Takaichi? Many of her online supporters are choosing to blame the liberal Asahi TV reporter who asked Trump a question about why the US didn't consult allies before launching a war that has disrupted the world economy.

NEBRASKA. A judge ruled against Dem activist Cindy Burbank (D) - a supporter of indy candidate Dan Osborne - in her effort to get back on Dem US Sen primary ballot. With her out, pro-life pastor Bill Forbes, a supporter of US Sen Pete Ricketts (R), is unopposed for the Dem nom.

@Joseph_Fasano_ sending best wishes to you

Friends, if you're familiar with my work, you know what I try to do every day in these spaces. My doctors tell me I'm on the edge of mental and physical exhaustion, so I have to rest. I have my son, my faith, my poetry, and my belief in you. I'll return soon. xo

@thedailytexan @sxsw @ParamountAustin one time one night is one of my all-time faves

Mexican-American rock group Los Lobos premiered their documentary, “Los Lobos Native Sons,” at @sxsw on Sunday at the @ParamountAustin, giving fans an inside look into the group’s 53-year journey. Los Lobos made history when combining traditional Mexican music with rock beats, lyrics and attitudes, helping form and finalize what’s now known as Chicano culture. thedailytexan.com/2026/03/17/aft…

Still can’t get over how Jim Bob discovered Josh was molesting his sisters, he brought him to confess his crimes to some church elder, who also turned out to be a pedophile

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 risk of falls, strokes and death. wapo.st/4tfSUsr
