Israeli plan for forced transfer of Gaza’s population ‘a blueprint for crimes against humanity’
Military ordered to turn ruins of Rafah into ‘humanitarian city’ but experts call the plan an internment camp for all Palestinians in Gaza
Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

Pay attention to their messaging. They’re going to steal the next election and say it’s because they got rid of “democrats.” Couple this with the fact they’re amassing a citizenship database, and prepping to charge state election officials with crimes.
So to be clear it's legal in Britain to travel to Israel, volunteer in the IDF, commit war crimes and kill babies, and then return home?But it's illegal to wear a t-shirt?
July 8, 1917 The Women’s Peace Crusade organized a protest against the first world war in Glasgow, Scotland. Processions from two sides of the city, accompanied by bands and banners, wound their way toward the Glasgow Green where they merged into one demonstration of some 14,000 people.

July 8, 1996 The International Court Of Justice declared that, in almost all circumstances, use of nuclear weapons is illegal.
Today, the Justice Department posted a memo saying there is no evidence that the late pedophile and Trump party buddy Jeffrey Epstein was murdered or that he kept anything amounting to a much-anticipated “client list.” A DOJ spokesgoon told CNN that the department does not plan to release any new documents on the matter.
If you’re not surprised that there’s not a list of Epstein’s clients, that’s probably because you know New York City’s medical examiner had ruled Epstein’s death (hanging himself in jail) a suicide. The attorney general in Trump’s first term, Bill Barr, said the same thing, despite his suspicions of something more sinister. A Justice Department Inspector General report also pushed back on the idea that the death was anything but a suicide, while criticizing staff failures for allowing it to happen.
The Miami Herald’s Julie K. Brown, one of the best-sourced reporters on the Epstein case, reported earlier this year, “Those who have worked with the FBI on the case for decades say there is no evidence Epstein kept a ledger or a list of clients who were involved with his sex trafficking operation.”
But the problem for Trump 2.0 is that the regime promised to expose everything upon taking power, even promising to produce Epstein’s “client list.” Even an insider in Trump’s DOJ said there was a “client list.” Now, who in the Justice Department would jump the gun so badly when there’s not a client list? Who, who I ask? Who? Who? Who? Oh, it was the Attorney General, Pam Barbie Bondi. That’s who.
Remember, Bondi was Florida’s Attorney General who was going to investigate Trump University’s fraud in that state, but pulled the investigation after being paid off by Trump, who funneled it through his fake charity, the Trump Foundation. Later, she defended Trump in his impeachment trials, and was his second choice to be his AG after Matt Gaetz.
Imagine being the second choice after Matt Gaetz. If I were the second choice to Matt Giggity Gaetz, I’d probably hang myself. (snip-MORE, and it’s really good)
The Republican idea of a healthcare system by Ann Telnaes
Between their medicaid cuts and an anti-vaccine HHS secretary, this is the Republicans’ idea of a healthcare system. And as I’ve said before, Americans don’t have a healthcare system, they have a healthcare insurance system. Contrary to what politicians say, it is not the best in the world- far from it. There are many, many other countries which provide superior preventive care to all (which is the foundation of a healthy society).

Trump is once again doing something he accused Biden of Read on Substack
I told you that you were getting two blogs today. This is the second.
I’ve heard more than one liberal say that because they support Trump and other horrible Republicans, Texas parents deserve to have their children die in these floods. Folks, no. Hell no. Cut that crap out. Let the GOP and MAGAts be the heartless ones. Do NOT emulate them. We must always be better than them. It’s not hard.
Last September, Hurricane Helene hit the southeast Atlantic coast, being one of the strongest storms on record. It brought devastation to Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and even landlocked Tennessee. Naturally, Republicans politicized it.
First, they claimed the Biden administration wasn’t providing any recovery aid to areas that voted Republican. Of course, this was a lie.
Marjorie Taylor Greene showed a map of Republican congressional districts hit by the hurricane, and claimed Democrats manipulated the weather and sent the hurricane to those districts. These idiots don’t believe in science but believe a hurricane can be shot at a target.
Then, Donald Trump, who was running for president, claimed that Joe Biden spent all the FEMA funds on “illegal immigrants. He said the Biden administration “stole the FEMA money just like they stole it from a bank.” If anyone knows anything about stealing from a bank, or taxpayers, grifting his own supporters, or being a felon, it’s Donald Trump.
Of course, what Trump said was a lie…at least about Biden, because there has been a president (sic) stealing from FEMA.
As we’ve all come to learn, unless you’re a MAGAt living in denial, any accusation Trump makes is projection. (snip-MORE, and it’s sizzling hot!)
“There needs to be blood”: Democrats’ voters tell them to “get shot” in Trump resistance push
At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists, Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.
I knew there would be a cost for the corrective lenses. I figured it would be a few hundred dollars on top of what Medicare paid for the surgery. I was way wrong. I got the pricing in my patient package. Crap. I guess I will be getting the noncorrective Medicare paid for lenses. I know several of you wrote that the normal lens provided by Medicare worked really well and corrected much of your vision problems. I guess I will find out. Hugs
