Trump administration targets children amid push to ‘deport at all costs’

Federal lawsuit alleges children are being repatriated despite many of them qualifying to remain in the US legally

This is a big problem for #Ukraine. Besides Patriot systems, Ukraine hardly has capabilities to intercept Russian ballistic missiles. After wasting over half its stockpile on its war on Iran, the US is now less likely to provide Ukraine with the necessary munition. Russia will exploit this.

The U.S. is surging production of key munitions, but that commitment must be sustained. A few years of frenzied buying will not fully build inventories & will not establish the surge capacity that might be needed in a future conflict, write Mark Cancian and Chris Park. Read: https://bit.ly/4gajQpu

What a complet disaster Iran is. Iran will control the Straight after US capitulation and frankly a surrender. The President has used all of our missile stockpiles. Trumps dumb ass started this conflict without a plan because he is Donald Trump. A complete failure on all levels...😡

President Pezeshkian says Iran will support Hamas’s position in Gaza negotiations On Tuesday, in his first public comments on the deal, Netanyahu said Israel had not agreed to Trump’s plan. - Al Jazeera

Every Democratic candidate should begin every single speech, debate, interview and public appearance by telling the American people how much of their money - personally - has been wasted on the war against Iran so far. Directly tie every Republican to it. They all want to spend MORE of your money.

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

It's the infantile frustration and rage of a psychopath unable to understand that the world is not behaving in the way that he wishes. Add to that the fact that Trump is uneducated, unintelligent and now in the grips of geriatric dementia, all is explained. Oh, and the fact Iran is way smarter...

Yet another story framed around Trump’s supposed anger rather than his incompetence. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...

A side note to this insanity. There's a clear pattern from Badenoch of demeaning local public service, diminishing their contributions to society - hence why she thinks 'nice Lib Dems fix church roofs' is such a derogatory statement. It's going to become a lot more jarring with talk of devolution.

This is *such* a revealing line about Kemi's world view and contempt for those who do the day to day work of keeping our society functioning

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

Newly discovered immune pathway prevents fatal fungal infections in mice

An immune pathway has been discovered which prevents a normally harmless fungus developing into a fatal infection. The King's College London study, published in Nature Microbiology, provides the first potential clue as to why only certain patients with weakened immune systems, including those undergoing chemotherapy or living with HIV, are at risk of life-threatening Candida albicans infections. Candida albicans is a fungus that normally lives harmlessly in areas such as the mouth and gut but can sometimes spread through the body and cause fatal disease. If the results are confirmed in humans, the results could provide a test to understand who is at risk of developing fatal fungal infections and represent a potential therapeutic target to reduce the risk of developing the disease. Fungal infections kill more than 2.5 million people each year, with Candida albicans alone killing almost a million. However, until now we knew little about why fungi escape their natural location in mouths and gut and cause life-threatening disease in around 10% of patients who have a weakened immune system. The scientists focused on a signal produced by the immune system to trigger symptoms to fight off infection, IL-1. Mice which were genetically modified not to produce...

"Nine years ago the great Gary Younge set out in the Guardian a utopian vision of open borders and no immigration controls. What happened to that sense of vision and idealism?" My great grandparents lived n moved in a world with no passports. Just imagine that freedom.

Ceuta was a carnival of anti-migrant content for hateful opportunists on the right – and a lesson for the left | Jonathan Liew

It was framed as a perfect storm because nativists dearly wanted it to be. Looking on, progressives failed to meet the moment too, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

As Rod Liddle has died, I notice this column I wrote in 2019 about his attacks on people with M.E. is on the most read again. Rebekah Brooks, of News UK, described Liddle today as “provocative”. In reality, he spread lies about very sick people for cash. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
