#ThisIsGenocideNotACeasefire: Israel continues to kill Palestinians, attack hospitals and block access to aid and healthcare. Meanwhile, world leaders are failing to stop it. We call for the protection of civilians in #Gaza and the lifting of restrictions on aid.

Aaron is not underrating this. It's cinema. The sly smirk when Schmitt thinks he's gotten Smith to perjure himself. The hasty vanishing of the sign. Klobuchar getting Kennedy to hold it up. Schmitt getting LOUD and ANGRY when Klobuchar points out he mixed up the Hawks and Hawkeyes.

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

A new law tightens access to SNAP benefits. Experts say it could leave Alaska veterans out in the cold.
Critics say the law adds new hurdles to a program that food-insecure veterans depend on.

The Navy is reportedly getting ready to strip the USS Doris Miller of its title, and may even be renaming it to the USS Donald Trump. The change is just the latest effort from Pete Hegseth to erase the anything deemed “DEI.” Miller is an American hero. His service will not be erased.

Dan Sullivan voted to bury the truth behind Epstein’s horrific crimes. He was the deciding vote to silence victims, shield pedophiles, and cover for the people who protected them. We deserve a senator who isn't bought by the Epstein class.

Dan Sullivan took nearly $10,000 from Epstein associates, then voted to confirm Blanche - The Alaska Current
Last year, Sullivan voted to block the release of the Epstein files, then took nearly $10,000 in contributions from two contacts of the dead child sex trafficker.
