Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

Women ‘more likely to be told autoimmune conditions are psychological’
Cambridge University study suggests stark gender divide in misdiagnosis, with women also waiting longer for treatment Women with autoimmune conditions are up to 74% more likely than men to be told their symptoms are psychological or psychosomatic, and face much longer waits for a diagnosis and treatment, a study suggests. Hundreds of millions of people – about one in 10 globally – are affected by autoimmune conditions, which can cause a range of health issues including fatigue, muscle pain and rashes.

I don’t care how conservative you are. Abandoning Ukraine to Putin spits on everything Reagan stood for. Tax cuts and party loyalty cannot excuse this betrayal. If your principles mean anything, this alone should cost Trump your support. Grow a spine. Some things matter more than the GOP.

As a big believer in norms, I consider this the new norm for how Cabinet members in Democratic administrations should respond to every request from Republican members of Congress. Do not attempt to comply, write solely to entertain the most constantly-online members of the Dem base.

Ukraine President Zelenskyy says the consequences of President Trump and the US "allowing Russia to sell oil products were most clearly felt in Kyiv today, when, following numerous attacks with jet-powered Shahed drones against energy facilities, a ballistic missile attack began as well."

Що означає дозвіл Росії продавати нафтопродукти, зараз найкраще було чутно в Києві, коли після численних застосувань реактивних «шахедів» проти енергетичних обʼєктів почалася ще й атака балістикою. Частину ракет вдалося збити. Це ще раз чітко демонструє, які справжні наміри у Росії. Вони розраховують на продовження війни, терор проти звичайних людей і знищення інфраструктури. Кожен додатковий мільярд доларів, які вони зможуть заробити на експорті, вони витратять саме на це – на пошук і завезення критичних компонентів, обладнання для виробництва зброї, на посилення «шахедів» і виробництво ракет та ще на додаткових найманців на фронт. Російський вибір – це війна. І вони будуть готові її припинити тільки тоді, коли відчують, що потенціал затягування війни скорочується. Вчора, на жаль, були зовсім інші сигнали для Росії – сигнали, що атакувати надалі начебто можна. І це потрібно виправляти. Потрібні сильні сигнали від Сполучених Штатів, від Європи, від інших партнерів. На підтримку України та на ОБМЕЖЕННЯ російської…
