A full-time workers need food stamps, and Medicaid to get by they’re not welfare queens. Their employers are.

This is Ohio’s democracy in action.

On Aug. 9, thousands lined 8 miles of High Street, hand in hand — for Medicaid, immigrants, truth, and justice. Against corruption, cruelty, and lies.

Ohio doesn’t sit down.
We link up.
We fight back.
And we’re just getting started.

The only reason you assassinate every Al Jazeera journalist left in Gaza is because you don’t want anyone to document the genocide you are about to accelerate.

Any politician and any journalist who cannot call this genocide for what it is, is complicit, and I hope history remembers you as such.

'Mexico', from 1944, sure brings the fiesta to the garden. This variety was used extensively in hybridizing by Dr. Kleinsorge and many others. It is in the background of many modern red and brown varieties.

Jan. 6 Panel Probes Donald Trump’s 187 Minutes as Capitol Attacked as Prime-Time Hearing Approaches The Thursday prime-time hearing will dive into the 187 minutes that Trump failed to act on Jan. 6, 2021, despite pleas from aides, allies and even his family.

As Trump calls the National Guard into DC for a fake emergency, let's remember that he waited 187 minutes to do it when there was a real emergency.

Trump’s H.R. 1 isn’t just a bad bill, it’s a betrayal of those who served our country in uniform.
🚫 Cuts SNAP for 1.2M veterans
🚫 Slashes Medicaid access
🚫 Guts student loan support
Veterans gave everything. I am fighting back to make sure our bravest get what they earned from a grateful nation.

The morning read for Monday, August 11.

My DH says the same thing.

We need voices of sanity there. I guess I just can’t anymore.
I will protest, boycott, makes the calls…but my brain can’t keep arguing with people who have no common sense.

I don’t need to network there,so I can let it go.

Thank you for keeping up the good fight!

Robert Reich The Real Reason the Economy Might Collapse | Robert Reich

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Can We Ever Repair This Moral Rot MAGA can learn grace from the folks their leader wrongfully imprisoned.

"Talking to Andry, I thought about John McCain and how these two very different men were made of similar stuff. Resilient. Brave. Gracious. The difference is that in Andry’s case the captors—the tormentors—were not a distant, unknowable enemy. It was us."

Lovely. Peaceful. Nice to wane up to this photo. Thank you!

Ukrainian law forbids ceding territory to Russia

And-unlike the “leader” of America-Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky honors his country’s Constitution

So Trump and Putin can discuss whatever they want in Alaska

If they want Ukraine to give up part of their sovereignty, it’s meaningless

Zohran leads a RIDICULOUS pace for the Bus vs Pedestrian race on 34th St. God I love this town.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

I developed mRNA vaccines. RFK Jr is endangering US public health Katalin Karikó says the health secretary’s decision to pull research funding for the technology is akin to ‘dropping a bomb on the US’

“They have dropped a bomb on themselves.”

-Katalin Kariko, the Nobel laureate whose work led to the development of the Covid mRNA vaccine.

The majority of the clinical trials have already moved to China.
"China has already taken over. Scientists will move."

Now we know why Speaker Mike Johnson doesn't have a checking account. He uses *other* people's money to pay his bills.

Mike Johnson hit with new accusation showing ‘clear-cut violation’ of federal law House Speaker Mike Johnson has been accused of using campaign money to pay his rent in what the government watchdog group Campaign Legal Center described as a “clear-cut violation of federal campaign ...
