There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.

Scoop: White House monitors suspected plague outbreak in Russia
Administration is "aware, monitoring the outbreak, and assessing options," an official told Axios.

The folks on The Five seem to think that actual witches were executed in Salem, MA. The culture of Salem was steeped in deep superstition. There were no witches just women, and a few men, who were murdered by a paranoid mob. In some cases greed was also a motivating factor.

What are the penalties for treason in the US? A person convicted of treason faces specific statutory punishments: • Death or prison time of at least five years. • Fines of at least $10,000 (if not sentenced to death). • Disqualification from holding any public office under the US for life.

It looks like President Trump has lost his mind. He talked about Los Angeles and San Diego being “taken out” and called it “a very small price to pay.” Governor Newsom called the remarks “deranged and dangerous.” This is a president talking about American cities. Just stunning. #Midterms2026

Everybody's loving this clip, for good reason, but it should remind everyone that cities therefore have an obligation to build enough housing that all these marginalized and outcast people can come and afford to live in them on minimum wage *without* becoming homeless. YIMBY!

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Nicole is a leading expert on the issue of campus sexual violence. I am floored that USA Today would do this to her. I find this kind of journalistic behavior unethical and morally reprehensible, twisting an interview with a renowned advocate for survivors into a hit piece against a survivor.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

I don't take tips on virtue from a man who used a pic of his stillborn child for a GoFundMe campaign for his children's burial garden named "Lincoln’s Place" when the project was never built, and Ogles repeatedly refused to disclose what happened to the tens of thousands of dollars donated.
