Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

We now know harmful “forever chemicals” are likely in the bodies of most people on Earth. Decades ago, 3M knew that these chemicals had seeped into the public’s blood, but they kept that a secret. One 3M scientist helped reporter Sharon Lerner understand how they kept it quiet for so long:

Scotland is in a similar situation. But we can only send our electricity to England. The interconnectors are not big enough, they'd melt if we sent everything we could, so we have to switch off the wind farms and pay the companies for the privilege.

And here is the CENTCOM report that lists 1,700 targets truck in first 72 hours, which also corroborates. If Grok was used for 2,000 in the first 96 hours, then it had to be the technology that was responsible for the strike on the school. Let's stop talking about algae, this is a scandal.

American taxes paying $300 billion to rebuild Iran because the president of the United States decided to bomb Iran because he didn't like how the black former President cut a better deal. Is that right? Again: never let a Republican get away with "how are we gonna pay for" [insert social program]
The terms of the preliminary agreement between the United States and Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, outline a $300 billon plan for Iran’s reconstruction, and lift restrictions on the country’s oil exports, according to details described by a senior U.S. official on Wednesday.

Non-public conversations, a developer's input into data center rules, and Gov. Mike Kehoe swaying dissenting voices. Here's what new documents show.

Updated: 1:35 PM CST December 12, 2025

FESTUS, Mo. — Residents in Festus recently scraped together $150 to find out what was happening to their city. What they uncovered showed key decisions were already underway before the public was ever brought into the conversation.

Newly released communication records between city officials and development firm CRG show Festus leaders knew about a proposed data center months before they publicly disclosed the project. CRG is leading the push to build a data center in Festus after pulling out of a proposed site in St. Charles.
