Look what I found: After USAID's Food for Peace program was moved to the USDA last year, Food for Peace seems to have stripped food aid from all Muslim-majority countries.
To this amazing chart from @CFR_org, I added a column showing the % of the population that is Muslim:

Pasadena Officer Shot by Fellow Officer During "Horseplay," Chief Says
PASADENA, Calif. — The Pasadena Police Department has released a Critical Incident Video concerning an officer-involved shooting that occurred on September 7, 2025, inside the department's parking structure at 240 Ramona Street in Pasadena. The incident resulted in injuries to one Pasadena police officer, who has since recovered.
Pasadena Police Chief Gene Harris said the incident involved "unsafe, out-of-policy horseplay involving loaded firearms" between department personnel. Chief Harris stated that one officer was wounded as a result of the shooting and emphasized that the conduct depicted in the video did not reflect the department's standards or expectations.
The injured officer was transported for medical treatment and has since recovered from the injuries sustained during the incident. Pasadena police have not publicly identified the officers involved, and no members of the public were injured.
The case remains under investigation and review by the Pasadena Police Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

.@SenMcConnell: "I think it's safe to conclude there will not be another reconciliation bill. So, it's really not an option."
@SenatorCollins: "I agree with that assessment."

A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits.

Under new military guidance from Pete Hegseth, the LDS Church is officially classified as a non-Christian religion.
My fellow Saints, you can love these Christian nationalists all you want, but they will not love you back.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize Israel had now escalated to the "quadruple tap" where they just keep killing and killing as people try desperately to help the wounded
I still cannot get over the evil of the Israeli "double tap" strike

Zach Lahn won Iowa's Republican governor primary as an outsider. But I've been digging around and found a long history managing campaigns, staffing politicians.
A look at his record. iowastartingline.com/news/me…

Picking this totally random moment to point out that last year Iowa statehouse Republicans changed the threshold for recounts in statewide elections to a 0.15% margin.

Libertarians are fielding candidates for Iowa governor (Nicholas Gluba), U.S. Senate (Thomas Laehn), #IA02 (Rick Stewart), and #IA03 (Marco Battaglia).
Turned in over 8000 signatures on nominating petitions to run for Governor or Iowa today. Getting the signatures was easy, now it is time for the hard part, getting the votes.

The summer is a time for young people to enjoy the city, have new experiences, get a job or simply rest. It’s not a time for violence.
I sat down with violence interrupters and young men directly impacted by gun violence to talk about what this administration is doing to keep New Yorkers safe.
Real public safety means investing in people before tragedy strikes: summer jobs, mental health support, community programs, safe streets, and trusted messengers who grew up in our neighborhoods.

Colorado's Republican front-runner for governor says he's rescued thousands of women and children, performed exorcisms, and carried out more than 130 rescue missions.
Then a reporter asked for evidence.
It didn't go well.

🚨BREAKING: Right-wing streamer Cam Higby was caught on video walking up to a group of protesters and pepper spraying multiple people, outside the Newark ICE Facility.
Then, as people reacted to being sprayed, an armed man pulled him away, telling him, “It’s not worth it… it’s time to go.”
Last time I checked… walking up to a group of people and spraying them with a chemical irritant is commonly charged as assault or battery.
And then, after spraying the crowd, the video show Higby, and the armed man, running into the ICE facility while agents allowed them inside.
Imagine the outrage if a left-wing activist walked up to a group of conservatives, pepper sprayed them, and then disappeared behind federal gates.
The headlines would never stop.
The law is supposed to apply equally to everyone.
