12 GOP senators threaten the International Criminal Court: "Target Israel & We Will Target You. You have been warned".

The senators told the ICC's prosecutor not to pursue charges against Israeli officials over war crimes committed in Gaza.

Specifically, they threatened to sanction ICC employees & associates & bar them & their families from entering the US (which is not a party to the ICC).

Scientists have long known a #gene called #APOE4 is one of many things that can increase people’s risk for #Alzheimer's, including simply getting older. The vast majority of Alzheimer’s cases occur after age 65. But #research published Monday suggests that for people who carry not one but two copies of the gene, it's more than a risk factor, it's an underlying cause of the mind-robbing #disease.

"If re-elected, Trump vows to support the right wing’s war on so-called 'anti-white' racism. The movement targeting DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) initiatives is already gaining momentum and could skyrocket under a second Trump admin."

“ 'I think there is a definite anti-white feeling in this country, and that can’t be allowed either,' Trump told TIME when asked about his supporters who believe anti-white racism is a bigger problem than anti-Black racism."
