 Eat your ice cream for a long, healthy life? This doctor says so

Let’s give teachers $50k signing bonuses, $100k salaries, and $60k student loan forgiveness. You know, the same as ICE gets.

The Louisiana Creoles Were Never What We Thought — DNA Finally Revealed

WANT A NEW PASSPORT WITHOUT DRUMPFS PICTURE ?
NPR did learn that there’s a trick if you are applying in person in Washington and do not want a passport with Trump’s image: Choose extra pages. The State Department says the 250th commemorative passport is only available in the standard, 28-page book.
The Trump passports only available in person at DC Passport Agency & with an appointment.

What Governor Andy Beshear is doing right now is exactly what’s wrong with the Democratic Party.

He’s been tip-toeing around missing McConnell for weeks. Pull the plug & file for a special election. Soft stepping is how we ended up with a corrupt SCOTUS & Trump Tyranny. FIGHT!!

Dear @GovAndyBeshear, the public is not satisfied with the statement and photo of Mitch McConnell with his wife Elaine Chao that was released today. The photo is deemed fake and AI by dozens of journalists and experts. You need to make a trip to the facility/hospital and meet with Mitch yourself. Why is this so hard to do? It’s your job. There’s too much disbelief and distrust that Mitch McConnell is alive and able to finish his final term in the Senate.

JUST LIKE FRANCO
MOSCOW MITCH IS STILL DEAD!

Fuck the special election.

The KY GOP only passed that law in 2024 specifically because Beshar was coming into office and Mitch was already glitching out.

!!!! But they didn’t ammend the KY Constitution!!!!!

Bashar still has Constitutional authority to appoint a replacement.

Do it.

RETHUGLICANS

Lindsey Graham Was Gay and voted against Gay Rights every time.
Trump called in to Meet the Press this morning and said that Lindsey Graham was “scheduled to win by a lot. He was scheduled.” He used the word SCHEDULED. Twice. Tell us more @realDonaldTrump

The FBI never interviewed Epstein’s lawyer, his accountant, or the primary financier of his sex trafficking. Our investigation uncovered major gaps, and new allegations have come to light. Trump’s DOJ cannot bury this. It must reopen the investigation and follow every lead.

Eminem “Donald Trump is a narcissist who uses his power only to spread hate and racism, and could drag the country into a nuclear disaster; you either stand on his side or mine, because both are not possible.”

Representative Thomas Massie:
​“Everyone who went to rape island should be behind bars, even the billionaires.”
​”Do not mess up this bill.”

Andreessen Horowitz Partner Quit Firm, Horrified by What His Old Colleagues Are Doing to Humankind

FARMLANDGRAB.COM JD Vance funded AcreTrader. Here’s why that matters.
Some of the most pristine farmland in California can be yours, at least by proxy, in just a matter of minutes. That’s the promise that AcreTrader, a company with the mission of simplifying investing in valuable U.S. farmland, makes to prospective financiers. In a social media post, Sarah Taber, a farm and food systems strategist and the Democratic candidate for North Carolina commissioner of agriculture, describes AcreTrader as “like Uber for buying U.S. farmland.” Like Uber, AcreTrader makes it easier for more buyers to gain quick access to an ordinarily expensive asset. “And who’s one of its key investors, profiting off of every sale?” Taber asks. “JD Vance.”

Donald Trump owns stock in Boeing.
Two of its 737 MAX jets crashed and killed 346 people. It later admitted to a criminal fraud conspiracy over how it hid the flaw from regulators. In 2024 a door plug blew off a MAX in midair.
The President owns it — while the FAA he controls is the agency that certifies Boeing’s planes and was accused of going too easy on it.

If you read anything today you must read ABOUT Trump’s ownership in private prisons and ICE detention facilities. Trump’s policies on immigration are literally lining his pockets. Major new sources globally are not covering this story. 

The Spy at the First Lady’s Side
A Russian-cultivated fixer has Melania Trump’s ear. He texts her, travels with the Vice President, and spent thirty years working the Russians. Now he works for the US with no security clearance.

Buried in Donald Trump’s financial disclosure: Encore Capital Group.
It’s one of the largest debt collectors in America — it buys up people’s defaulted debt for pennies on the dollar, then comes after them for the full amount. The President owns a piece of it. He profits when Americans can’t pay their bills.

Donald Trump owns between $500,000 and $1 million in McKesson.
Never heard of it? It’s one of the three companies that flooded America with opioids.
In 2021 McKesson, Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen paid $21 billion to settle claims their pill distribution fueled the overdose epidemic.
McKesson’s share: $7.4 billion.
Trump owns all three.
He holds nearly a million dollars in the company that helped drug America — while his DEA sets the quotas that let it happen.

Speaker Mike Johnson said that Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid need to be “adjusted and fixed,” meaning they will be cutting your benefits in 2027. This is Project 2025. So, we have money for war, ballrooms, reflecting pool, arches, billionaire tax cuts, but not for seniors.

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
Dahl: Yes
Murray: And the rate for someone making $1,000,000?
Dahl: 2.2%
Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

Republican mayor Wesley Dingus was caught breaking into a little girl’s room to smell her underwear. He is facing up to 10 years in prison.

BREAKING Allison Gill: EXCLUSIVE: FBI Admits it has Epstein Files Training Videos
In a letter sent to me in response to my Freedom of Information Act Request, the FBI admits to having training videos that it failed to release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act
Last spring, over 1000 FBI analysts were locked in the building, paid over $1M in overtime, and told to review and redact certain information from the Epstein Files.
In the summer, multiple anonymous FBI and DOJ sources who participated in the review confided in me that there were training videos instructing them on how to find, log, and redact Trump’s name.
I filed a Freedom of Information Act request, then sued the government to get the videos. In a stunning admission, the FBI just sent me their response confirming the videos exist. I have forwarded the information to House Oversight and Senate Judiciary committees ahead of this week’s confirmation hearings for Todd Blanche.

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; they’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.
The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.
Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without even breaking a single law.

Todd Blanche will never release the Epstein files.
He told us he already saw tapes of “torture and death”, which means he knew who did the torturing and the killing. He will never release them. His father ran a cult that he grew up in.
Children were tortured and killed and buried at the zorro ranch most likely which is why he’s blocking the Investigation

House Oversight, in February, asked Ghislaine Maxwell whether she was aware Epstein was sexually abusing minors and adult women.
She invoked her Fifth Amendment right.
Have you ever facilitated his abuse? Fifth.
Were you aware? Fifth.

In a 2021 recording, Trump is heard discussing “confidential” and “secret” documents, including a plan of attack involving Iran. In the recording, Trump acknowledges that he cannot declassify the documents. He was later indicted under the Espionage Act.

PRIVATE EQUITY PLAYBOOK:
Buy a company with borrowed money.
Cut costs by 40%. Fire half the workers.
Slash wages for the rest.
Extract dividends for yourself.
Leave the company hollowed out.
Move to the next target.
Jobs gone. Wages destroyed. Communities wrecked.
The PE firm walks away $2 billion richer.
Workers left with nothing.
That’s not capitalism. That’s legalized theft.

Ten years ago the mortgage rate was 3.5% and the average new home cost $350,000.
Today the rate is 6.5% and the average new home costs $540,000.

TECH

“A hacker built a free tool where you enter an email or domain and it automatically finds every account, breach, and leak connected to it, and it’s scary good. It’s called SpiderFoot. Steve Micallef started building it back in 2012, and it hasn’t stopped growing since.

ESSAY @ihtesham2005
A hacker known as “0x90” wanted a way to chat online without anyone tracing who he was. He ended up building a second internet.

It started in 2001 as a small project to let people chat on IRC without anyone tracing who they were.

In 2003, a developer known only by the handle jrandom rebuilt the whole thing from scratch and renamed it I2P, the Invisible Internet Project.

I2P isn’t really trying to hide you while you browse normal websites, the way Tor does.

It builds you a second internet that lives entirely inside your regular connection. Inside it are hidden websites called eepsites, hidden chat, and hidden file sharing, all invisible to anyone outside the network.

The trick is something called garlic routing.

Tor wraps a single message in layers of encryption and passes it hop to hop, like an onion.

I2P bundles several messages together into one package before it even leaves your computer, so anyone watching the traffic cannot tell how many separate messages are hiding inside it, or where each one is actually headed.

Tor also uses one path both ways. I2P builds a completely separate path for messages coming in and messages going out, up to seven hops each direction.

There is no company running any of this, and no central server holding a map of the network.

Every computer running I2P is part of that map instead.

In 2006, jrandom, the developer who rebuilt the entire project, disappeared. No announcement. He just stopped showing up.

For a moment it looked like the whole thing might die with him.

It didn’t. A group of volunteers, one going by the name zzz, picked the project back up in 2009 and kept building. Twenty three years later, it is still running, still fully open source, still owned by nobody in particular.
