“Meanwhile, in Irkutsk, three city hospitals (Nos. 1, 3, and 10), as well as the Ivano-Matreninskaya Children's Hospital and a maternity hospital, have been placed under quarantine, reports the outlet *Lyudi Baikala*” Seems to be a mandatory quarantine.

💣 It’s clear that Trump only thinks the rich are smart enough to be on his company. He thinks the middle class and poor are stupid and deserve NO consideration!

The facts are shocking enough, but the bigger reason that the Cornell gang-rape case has broken through is that everyday Americans are sick of the rich and powerful and their sons getting away with it And everyone knows this fish stinks from the head My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/corn...

The 2028 election may create "an historic opportunity for Democrats to establish a 'New New Deal,'" writes @davidrlurie.com. The challenge: building "a broad and resilient" coalition to lead us out of our political and economic crises. Yes please. No infighting. 🙂 www.publicnotice.co/p/democratic...

Can Democrats build a broad coalition like that FDR created in the 1930s, and remake the nation for the better? The exposure of the GOP's false promises, from Reagan to Trump - and the resulting growing public revulsion - offers a rare opportunity, as I discuss here.

Trump says Iran wants to open the Strait of Hormuz but his regime has “total control“ of it and won’t open it. Which means Iran is trying harder than Trump to lower U.S. gas prices.
