And another day of getting defeated by Russia comes to a close:

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Trump has reportedly discussed withdrawing from NATO. That would be great for Russia. And that of course is why he’d do it. You voted for a Russian puppet.

Alaska's frontier faces widespread government shutdown pain.

Pavel Fuchs, a Russian oligarch who once negotiated with Trump, accused of making a threat of violence over bad seats at 2017 Trump inauguration. You read that correctly.

Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a Democratic effort to keep sanctions on companies tied to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, ending what was the most aggressive congressional pushback so far on the Trump administration's foreign policy toward Russia. The GOP is in on the whole Russia thing. That’s why they’re doing what they’re currently doing.

U.S. service members killed by explosion in Manbij, Syria. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, which came just weeks after President Trump said "we have beaten them and we have beaten them badly."

Vice President Mike Pence declares "ISIS has been defeated" on the same day as the deadly Syria attack that killed US service members. Because we’re living in Bizarro World.

Nancy Pelosi just pulled a major power move on Donald Trump's State of the Union.


"Trump told then-White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly and then-Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney that he did not want a single dollar going to Puerto Rico...instead, he wanted more of the money to go to Texas and Florida." Of course he did. Bastard.

T-Mobile announced a merger needing Trump administration approval. The next day, 9 executives had reservations at Trump’s hotel.

Last year was the hottest for the planet's oceans since global records began in 1958. The top five years of ocean heat have come in the last five years. But go ahead and continue your denial. The planet will go right on along after it wipes us out.

The anti-vaxxer movement has been listed by WHO as one of its top 10 health threats for 2019.

A team at Georgia Tech has invented a patch that women can press into an arm or a leg and get a month’s worth of birth control — no doctor visit needed. The team hopes each dose would cost just $1, and would aim it at women in developing countries.

A report released on Tuesday finds that junk food advertising continues to disproportionately target black and Hispanic youth, contributing to health disparities.

Drone video shows a huge, almost perfectly-shaped ice disk floating in the Presumpscot River in Westbrook, Maine. The mass of ice that resembles a moon slowly rotates as currents pass in the river

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
