Trump tomato tariffs could spell the end of free chips, salsa at restaurants
The 17% tariff on Mexican tomato imports, combined with bad weather in Florida and Mexico, has caused the price of salsa ingredients to spike in recent months.

When foreign invaders occupy part of your country and turn your children, in their own schools, into soldiers trained to come back and kill the rest of you once they grow up, it’s… it’s just unspeakable evil. It is unfathomable tragedy for Ukraine.

Ya-ya-nyan, the mascot of Owase City, is a welcoming cat whose clothes celebrate Owase's nature, culture, and fishing industry. The name "Ya-ya" comes from the unique "Ya-ya Festival", where people dress in white and fight in the streets. Ya-ya-nyan’s special skill is being able to sleep anywhere.

❗️ 🇺🇦 Ukrainian forces are using drones to deliver food to civilians trapped in Russian-occupied Oleshky. In one of the largest recent operations, around 4 tonnes of food were dropped at 100 locations across the city. Around 2,000 Ukrainians remain trapped there, including dozens of children.

I've been thinking about this photo all day. Considering how the Trump administration is constantly ranting about Communists, and how Pete Hegseth is always nattering on about our WARFIGHTERS, it's genuinely crazy to me that this image exists. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-kowt...
Screenshot of a Getty photograph captioned: "U.S. military personnel unroll the red carpet at the bottom of the stairs of an Air China plane carrying Chinese President Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on September 23, 2026. (Kent Nishimura / AFP via Getty Images)" Above it, also in the screenshot, is a paragraph of text from a Bulwark article that included that picture. The text reads: "That was certainly the sense conveyed by the ceremony as a whole. There was the televised spectacle of American service members on their hands and knees, smoothing wrinkles and picking specks of dirt off the 100-foot long red carpet that had been unrolled for Xi, as Chinese officials looked on approvingly from the door of their airplane before their leader descended the stairs."

Republicans, in their infinite wisdom, left a big gambling loophole in the Medicaid work requirements. I'm no fan of the gambling industry, but if you are on Medicaid and struggling to deal with the work requirements, taking a $580 bet on both sides of an outcome is one way of getting around them.

There is real anger among some Ukrainians at Witkoff's words - he certainly doesn't seem like an even-handed negotiator, and there is little faith that he will do anything other than present Zelenskyy with another set of unacceptable Kremlin demands, when and if he visits Kyiv.

"The sluts will save us" is a slogan about The
