14+ min ago (286+ words) Fox News shocked political observers on Saturday with a report in which the conservative network noted "elderly" Donald Trump's apparent hand bruising. Conservative commentator Elisha Krauss over the weekend addressed the prominent bruising, saying on Fox, "That doesn't look suspicious to me at all, having worked with a lot of A-list talent who are out there shaking a lot of hands. I mean, the guy is an elderly man. Your skin gets thinner as you get older." The kickback came quickly from news analysts. Dem strategist Adam Parkhomenko said, "I'm sure Donald Trump is thrilled that they are talking about the bruising on his hand on Fox News." April Perry asked, "Really?" and added, "Google Kinsula," which appears to be a misspelling of a recently FDA-approved medication for early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease.

Prasad has a long history of dismissing the pandemic, claiming in 2021 that Covid was not more harmful to children than the common flu. Health experts have continued to voice concerns that adding such a warning label may further reduce access to Covid vaccines by making clinicians more hesitant to recommend shots to groups who are at risk for severe Covid. Vaccines with black box warnings are particularly rare because vaccines are only approved after especially extensive safety and efficacy checks." The news follows reporting earlier this week that the FDA…...

He was discussing how border crossings have plummeted during President Donald Trump's first year back in office " hitting a 50-year low at the southern border; Homan said that work is being undermined by Dems who are publicly ridiculing ICE and Border Patrol agents for doing their jobs.

New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan was among the panelists on CNN's Saturday Morning Table for Five and she and Phillip tussled over President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration and his comments this week about accepting immigrants from "filthy, dirty, disgusting" countries riddled with crime, specifically mentioning Somalia. Moynihan argued "certain cultures" are "not compatible" with the United States. "Which ones?" Phillip pressed multiple times. "Well, if we look at Europe, actually, there was a lawyer this week who argued that an Afghan immigrant who raped a woman shouldn't be charged or shouldn't have a penalty because his culture said that women weren't free and equal.

Founded in autumn 2002 as a grassroots effort to prevent the US war on Iraq, we continue to organize for justice for Iraqis and to hold war criminals accountable.

I arrived at the Taj Hotel in Baghdad's Jadriyah neighborhood at 6 a.m., worn thin by the long flight from Los Angeles.

The TSA's participation in immigration enforcement is unprecedented, as is that of ICE with domestic travel; the program, kept secret until Friday's report, represents yet another means of inducing collective fear en masse in travelers and other…...

1+ hour, 20+ min ago (345+ words) Oil is, and always has been, at the center of our concerns with Venezuela, which has the world's largest proven reserves (though much of it is in the incredibly dirty and hard-to-recover form of tarsands). At the moment it's a major supplier to China, and it claims sovereignty over a major oil field in Guyana which has attracted big investment from Exxon and Chevron. This kind of coercion on behalf of the hydrocarbon industry is becoming old hat for the Trump administration. It's used tariff policy, for instance, to force country after country to agree to buy huge quantities of American liquefied natural gas. As CNBC reported last spring regarding one deal with the EU: (Justin Mikulka has a pointed take on why this strategy won't work for the LNG industry, and new data emerged this week showing just how…...
