⚡️ Ukraine repatriates remains of 20th-century military leader Yevhen Konovalets with state honors. As the founder of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), Konovalets devoted his life to the cause of Ukraine's independence. He was assassinated by an undercover Soviet agent in 1938.

Trump is a buffoon but RFK got exactly what he wanted here. The data are pretty clear that if you spread the vaccine appointments out then parents don’t come back for them. They don’t want kids to get the vaccines.
Yes, let’s burden both new parents and pediatricians with FIVE doctor visits instead of one for absolutely no legitimate medical reason. A masterstroke, sir.

NYT editors put "Claudine Gay" in "top 5 featured on the New York Times homepage Dec 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 22, 25" While they put Trump calling for Constitution's "termination" on page 15 and his chief of staff's "tyrant" warning on 12 Christopher Rufo openly bragged about the plans:

Though the same point goes for IRGC attacks on Kuwaiti or UAE desalination infrastructure which they are far more dependent on than Iran. We have both warring parties descending into a spiral of war crimes with no end in sight.
Preventing some Iranian villagers from getting drinking water does nothing to prevent the IRGC from firing missiles and drones. Water is a red line. I know those of you who hate the US military and US foreign policy won’t care about the difference, but it’s significant, with very bad implications.
Uh is this true? RW content seems to absolutely dominate online spaces.
"'Republicans are in love with television because they believe that it represents more of their vote: older voters, male voters. Democrats value the online piece because we really do think it reaches young voters, diverse voters.'"

This is illegal “Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities. The name of the individual shall be inscribed below the portrait.”
The U.S. Mint will soon begin producing a new $1 gold-hued coin with President Trump’s face on it to commemorate America’s 250th birthday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced.

Among Gen A he's basically become a funny meme with no context to who he was or his beliefs. Basically he's Keyboard Cat to them - ‘His legacy is cringe’: how Charlie Kirk became a punchline among the young - even his supporters www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Yes, and the Declaration says the idea that we are all created equal is a "self-evident" truth, meaning it's accessible solely via human reason, to anyone, whether they worship Trump's god or not. Also note that Trump dispenses with the "equal" part.
“We are all made in the image of one almighty god” centers God—heavily implying the speaker’s conception of God—and casts people as subservient. Worshipful. “All men are created equal… endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights” centers people and their rights. A world of difference.

Does it change our perception of our society to know that a fair chunk of extremist behaviour is in fact a Russian sabotage campaign? www.ft.com/content/8fa3...

If this is right, it amounts to a total U.S. capitulation that trades very specific benefits to Iran, some of which (total sanction waivers) take place immediately, for vagaries on nuclear materials ("will be adequately addressed") and the Strait (no mention of tolls/fees).
Since I haven't seen a post with all of it screenshotted and alt-texted in one place, here's the Iran MOU as hudson.org Adjunct Fellow Josh Block is reporting it on Twitter.
