POLITICO exposed Vice President JD Vance as the leaker behind one of the stories the White House later cited to justify banning the outlet from White House grounds. So either they planted these stories and then used them as an excuse to ban the outlets reporting them, or it’s MAGA targeting MAGA.

Brisket is getting too expensive for Texas BBQ joints to sell. Something is seriously wrong. Families can't afford higher grocery bills, and small businesses can't keep eating these costs. We need a food system that works for the people who grow our food, sell our food, and eat our food.
A KWTX news graphic shows sliced brisket and barbecue ribs on a cutting board. Text reads, “‘That is a killer’: Some barbecue restaurants in Texas are pulling brisket and ribs from their menus due to high beef prices.”

People power works. Communities across the country have already stopped more than $130 billion in AI data center projects. Texans can do the same.

Beneath the image, bold black text on a white background reads: “Ordinary Americans have stopped over $130 billion in data center projects so far in 2026.” A small heading above the statement says, “Theory of everything.”

Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

Tetanus is making a comeback. There’s an easy way to fight back.
It's easy to dismiss, but more Americans died from tetanus last year than any year in nearly two decades.
