Massively undercovered story given the serious pandemic risk this H5N1 outbreak in a US mink farm poses. Utterly insane that the public health reaction here is to shrug our shoulders and essentially do nothing. Yet another way the US is a menace to the rest of the world.

Tommy should sort out his allegiances before he questions those of others.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home. (Published Dec. 2025)

It’s not just about affordability. Maybe for the first time since 1974, voters say their main concern heading into the midterms is corruption in government. Great to see.

If there was a Nobel Prize in Trolling Trump it would go to the Nobel committee.

Trump is scared, but important to remember that the majority of his threats are bluffs. I believe he might try if he thinks he can get away with it. Wont necessarily work logistically, though, because he and his co-conspirators are bad at planning things(thankfully.)

NEW EPISODE: When asked earlier this year if he regretted not seizing voting machines and ballots after the 2020 election, Donald Trump said, "Well, I should have." Now he's telling us exactly what he plans to do in this year's midterms, and this time, we should believe him. youtu.be/MBLiMjSXros

Charge all 57 men who were in the Cornell group chat. 57 men. Not a single one did anything.

What my DMs look like right now. Why? Because a woman is suing the 7 men at Cornell who drugged, trafficked, and raped her—and I wrote an article addressing all men and condemning rapists. And predictably—weak men are offended. Here’s my article upsetting them: www.qasimrashid.com/p/cornell-un...

The Senate just failed to pass the “Stop Insider Trading Act.” Except the bill doesn’t actually ban stock trading and makes it harder for people to vote. Here’s why I voted no on it and why Republicans are pushing this scam.
