If folks aren’t prepared to think about what actually reduces abortions or have eliminated all the effective options from consideration, they aren’t pro life. It’s just marketing.

Dick Cheney shaped our world for the worse, and profited immensely from it
Former US vice president Dick Cheney, dead at 84, leaves a sordid legacy of war profiteering and torture advocacy.

#Deloitte #AI Cheap labour typically gathers data for senior staff to analyse. In this case, AI replaced that process, but senior staff skipped fact-checking and rubber-stamped its conclusions. The paid service—expert analysis—was likely never delivered. Deloitte’s core brand appears hollow.

The LNP should be messy and chaotic right now. They lost big time and need to realign. Reporters projecting onto the next election are being lazy. The thrashing around is good for our country. #auspol

Why do they keep saying Charlie Kirk was an advocate for free speech when he made a hit list of professors who didn’t say what he liked? I just don’t get it.

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Trump tried to make the American people pay for his sexual assault and lies. His thrashing about to distract from the Epstein files is more of the same.

Netanyahu is saying more bluntly what he has always said, peace with Palestinians is a threat to Israel. A threat he is not willing to accommodate. It was never about the hostages, justice, or anything other than an opportunity for genocide. This information is not new, but it is more obvious now.

The US Supreme Court has stated that the rulings of lower and previous courts are irrelevant next to the underlying legal principle. This naturally means that the rulings of the Supreme Court are equally irrelevant.
