Wonderful article about your father in law Tim Dowling

Study finds that flavour bans decrease use of something which won't kill you, but result in fewer people quitting something that can. Another great success for the 'public health' industry! 👏👏👏 medicalxpress.com/news/2025-07-f…

Trump plans to destroy $9.7m of contraceptives that were designated as USAID for African women It is part of Trump's war on foreign aid. They are already paid for & ready to ship but Trump is pledged to end USAID. Sick! theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

Oh FFS…. This is Louis the 14th all over. Pathetic taste. And maga will say nothing !!!!

There is so much wrong with this study. Arielle provides a succinct overview of the main points here:

BREAKING: Ukrainian flags are lining the streets of Anchorage ahead of Trump’s summit with Putin. The people are showing up and sending a clear message to Trump: DO NOT SELL OUT UKRAINE.

It honestly breaks my heart that this man has no choice but to once again come to the White House for public mistreatment in order to save his country. Trump is now going to put the burden of a the entire peace deal on him. After not even giving him a seat at the table.
