My small business is already being inundated by machine-made pestering. Multiple automated fake lending calls EVERY HOUR that I've been pre-approved for 6 figure loans. Every call a different number from a different location. Got one from the Yukon, THE YUKON! Blocking does nothing. It's incessant.

Trump: "I spoke to Zelenskyy, I said, 'You got to take it easy on the refineries as much as you can.' Because we're causing a world problem." First of all, the right thing to do is demanding that Russia end its invasion, rather than asking Ukraine to stop defending itself.

Because Trump is mad at our closest ally, Canada, he decided to buy potash (a key fertilizer ingredient) from one of the world's most notorious cruel dictators, Belarus' Lukashenko. Typical for Trump, he didn't bother to check before announcing his big deal. Belarus doesn't have any potash to sell.

Why do people keep falling for russian propaganda? No, Ukraine’s self-defense isn't driving up oil prices, a war in Iran is. And it’s far worse for Ukraine than for any of you, because higher oil prices directly fund russia's ability to keep killing us.

Given the outrageous, dangerous, and outright false statements made about how the polio (and other) vaccine was a "fraud" (at the Children's Health Defense conference), here's a reminder of what a massive success it was. RFK Jr. & his minions must be stopped from destroying the US healthcare system.
Graph of the number of cases and deaths from polio from 1910 to 2022, showing how polio completely disappeared after the introduction of the vaccine -- one of the most important health advances of the 20th century. Data from the US Public Health Services; the Center for Disease Control.

Step 1: Slip Trump a copy of the 1951 Defense Agreement, but with the name changed. Step 2: Describe it in the most favorable light possible, since he won't read it anyway. Step 3: Trump goes on "Truth Social" and proclaims himself a genius negotiator.

📌You have to wonder just how compromised Trump is when he goes along with Putin's demands to shut down oil production to the world just before the midterms, and agrees to making sure his oligarch has a prominent place in Jr.'s wedding. Why isn't this reported more? It's been this way for a decade.

This is a great example of the huge discrepancy between the RW news ecosystem, where FoxNews etal can beat an otherwise inconsequential item (trans athletes) several times an hour, days on end, while the MSM may mention some huge story (climate change, AI going rogue, price of gas, etc) then
