LOADING ERROR LOADINGTurns out, there’s a line the Proud Boys say they won’t cross for President Donald Trump. “If the United States gets directly involved in the Israel-Iran conflict, the voters that voted for Trump because there was a hope that Trump was America First can no longer support Trump,” the Proud Boys account posted to Telegram on Wednesday. AdvertisementHistorically, the Proud Boys have been among some of Trump’s most fervent supporters. Trump instead told Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”Trump’s hawkish stance toward Iran has opened a schism among some conservatives. Support HuffPost Already contributed?
Researching common Mandela effects – a name given to what seem to be collective memories or inaccurate happenings, like a common misconception that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the ’80s – I found Colin Firth’s Darcy implicated. His character, famous for THAT pond scene, never actually emerges, sodden-shirted, from the pool on-screen, the researchers wrote. 4) Walkers’ Salt & Vinegar packets never changed colour38% of people asked were convinced that the crisp packet used to be blue, but then changed to green. Still, more of us (39%) had the right answer: it was always green, though Lays salt and vinegar (the American branch) is blue.

People shop for food at a store in New York City that advertises that it accepts SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps. AdvertisementThough news of the program’s potential elimination has been largely overlooked due to the billions in cuts proposed to the entire SNAP program, McCartney said it will have sweeping effects. AdvertisementRepublicans have pushed for massive cuts to the overall SNAP program by arguing that its expenses have unjustifiably ballooned in recent years, despite enrollment only minimally rising. Colorado State University Extension teacher Jackie Lopez, right, shows students how to make a fruit salad during a SNAP-Ed food nutrition class in Denver, Colorado, in 2014. It assists far fewer people than the SNAP-Ed program, according to figures posted online.
“Yes, they had been searching for me — well, not for me at that point, but for their father,” he said. Though my relationship with my father was complicated and tenuous, I loved my father. They invited me to join an upcoming Zoom call with my father, where they intended to ask him more about himself. My half-sister’s love for him, untainted by the past, coupled with my openness to his overture of amends, was a lifeline for him. His loving family — including my brother, two of my new half-sisters and two of my new half-brothers — gathered at his bedside.
LOADING ERROR LOADINGLOS ANGELES (AP) — An appeals court on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump to keep control of National Guard troops he deployed to Los Angeles following protests over immigration raids. AdvertisementThe deployment was the first by a president of a state National Guard without the governor’s permission since 1965. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously concluded it was likely Trump lawfully exercised his authority in federalizing control of the guard. “The court rightly rejected Trump’s claim that he can do whatever he wants with the National Guard and not have to explain himself to a court,” Newsom said. The ruling means control of the California National Guard will stay in federal hands as the lawsuit continues to unfold.
The Trump administration has floated several ideas in order to increase the birth rate in the U.S., but their premise is flawed. Those without health care coverage, and possibly even those with it, are only one accident or unfortunate circumstance away from bankruptcy. The Trump administration suggests that individuals who need help are lazy; that they must earn their keep. The underlying assumption these countries and the Trump administration make is that individuals — both women and men — inherently want children. AdvertisementIf the Trump administration truly wants women to have children, it should support them in real and practical ways.
LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump on Wednesday once again ripped a reporter to their face, this time after they dared to bring into question the idea that his supporters are completely and utterly behind every move he makes. Trump was taking questions during the unveiling of new flag poles outside the White House when CNN White House correspondent Alayna Treene asked him about the split in MAGA ranks over his increasingly hawkish backing of Israel in its war with Iran. AdvertisementTreene began by noting, “Mr. President, some of your supporters are splitting on the US response to…,” before Trump cut in and deployed his usual tactic of demanding to know, “Who are you with?”When Treene said CNN, Trump scoffed, called the network “fake news” and claimed that, “Fortunately nobody watches.”Treene tried to repeat the question but Trump again interrupted and asked: “Is anybody watching CNN nowadays? My supporters are more in love with me today, and I’m in love with them, more than they were even at election time.”Watch from the 37-minute mark here:
ReplyThreadLinklol it's truly wild to see Boston, of all places, turn on a bunch of white cops, but hey, gotta start somewhere. They're hated in the state so the intense attention and belief that they were involved all makes sense to me. ReplyParentThreadLinkBetween accusing Karen and Sandra Birchmore’s abuse and murder, the corruption is staggering. I just looked at my TV finally and it said "not guilty" I literally yelled: "Not guilty!?!?" ReplyParentThreadLinkFor some reason I keep thinking Karen Read and Erin Patterson aka the mushroom murders lady are the same person lol.
LOADING ERROR LOADINGThe Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming care for minors in a 6-3 ruling. AdvertisementThis decision focused solely on Tennessee’s ban, foreclosing most medical care options to transgender youth in the state. It also marks the second blow the Supreme Court has dealt to transgender rights advocates recently, after the highest court allowed President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members in the military to take effect in May. AdvertisementThe Supreme Court’s ruling clears the way for officials in Tennessee to deny gender-affirming treatments like puberty blockers and hormone therapy to transgender youth. By contrast, only 17 states and Washington, D.C., have passed “shield” laws that protect access to transgender health care.
Remember, that’s the home of SCOTUS– the Supreme Court of the United States. In their opinion, SCOTUS reversed the U.S. 8th Circuit Federal Court’s ruling. SCOTUS’ decision was, IMHO, the correct one. Five years ago, SCOTUS issued a decision that protected transgender people from workplace discrimination. However, on June 18, 2025, in an opinion written by CJ Roberts, SCOTUS upheld a Tennessee law that prohibits some medical treatment for transgender youths.

Photo Courtesy Of Rosi GolanIn August of last year, after an eight-month battle with cancer, my husband, Jeremy, passed away. A few weeks before he died, we had one of many brutal but beautiful hospital conversations. "No one prepares you for what this part looks like ― 44 years of life sitting on the floor of a car." I don’t feel any closer to figuring out what life looks like now, but I do feel more comfortable talking about it.
A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy fires Pepper Balls at a protester on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, in Los Angeles, California. Angelenos came out en masse, especially at federal buildings in Downtown Los Angeles. The press has experienced police violence during the recent Los Angeles protests in a dramatic and public fashion. Police fire flashbangs and move into a crowd of demonstrators near City Hall on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, in Los Angeles.

Mariam Dagga via Associated PressYousef Nofal, an eyewitness, said he saw many people motionless and bleeding on the ground after Israeli forces opened fire. Desperation grows as rival aid systems can’t meet needsPalestinians who were injured by an Israeli attack while waiting to receive humanitarian aid are brought to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza on June 17, 2025. U.N. officials say Israeli military restrictions, a breakdown of law and order, and widespread looting make it difficult to deliver the aid that Israel has allowed in.
LOADING ERROR LOADINGThe Trump administration is trying to quickly and quietly roll back certain civil rights protections in schools by exploiting an administrative loophole and pushing the process through an unusual federal agency — the Department of Energy. AdvertisementDismantling this portion of the law would affect K-12 schools and universities that receive funding from the Energy Department. For one thing, it’s odd that the change, which will affect schools, is coming through the Energy Department instead of the Education Department. “The really concerning part from my perspective is that this could essentially provide a blueprint for dismantling civil rights protections across the board,” Kel O’Hara, senior attorney for policy and education equity at Equal Rights Advocates, told HuffPost. The department’s Office for Civil Rights has already halted thousands of investigations into complaints and closed half of its civil rights enforcement offices.
