Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution. If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea.

Hegseth Turns Trump’s Firing Squad Into a Public Spectacle
The Army has scheduled Nidal Hasan’s December 3 execution at Fort Hood — the first military execution since 1961 — while the Pentagon still will not explain how the firing squad will operate.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

1/ Although levels are still low nationally, flu metrics are ticking up, including emergency department visits. This is especially true in the West. That’s unusual because: 1️⃣ It's early (usually starts in Oct or Nov) 2️⃣ Flu typically starts in the Southeast before spreading across the country

A major structural hazard with extreme media ownership concentration is that oligarchs impose their ideological agendas--which almost always skew to the far right--on everyone. This capture of core info and communication infrastructures must be dismantled if we're to have any semblance of democracy.

1/ People are fed up with the U.S. healthcare system. Costs are high, people delay care because they can’t afford it, and clinicians are dealing with major administrative burdens. So as Medicare for All comes back into political conversations, what would it actually change if it were implemented?

This was not a localized slide. At least 95 people are reported dead in Nepal, hundreds remain missing. The surge tore through settlements along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers; water reportedly rose nearly 30 feet in half an hour. The geographic footprint is huge. Absolutely catastrophic.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.
