Detaining migrants for 150,000 each while denying basic food to people in need. This administration is cruel and corrupt like a sci fi villain

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

The beginnings of shutting down opposing voices. NPR and critical commentators like Colbert represent the great number of us who still believe in a free society.

This is amazing, a total denial of real science but a search for β€œpolitical weather manipulation”?? I find it hard to believe MTG is an elected representative. Looney but with apologies to loons.

Where does this money come from? The center, which will cost $450 million to operate, currently consists of tents and trailers surrounded by razor wire on wetland about 45 miles (72 kilometers) west of downtown Miami.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out (unmasked/in unmarked cars) protesters are dumping pounds of glitter on them.

So people can identify them as ICE for days afterward.

Time to buy glitter . . .

One of the biggest problems with the world is that fools are always so sure and certain about everything and intelligent people are so full of doubts and uncertainties.

More examples of a rogue administration. I hope the entire GOP congress goes down in midterm flames. Abdication of duty. Shame!

Regulators Approve Lenacapavir for H.I.V. Prevention The drug could change the course of the AIDS epidemic. But the Trump administration has gutted the programs that might have paid for it in low-income countries.

The FDA on Wednesday approved a twice-yearly injection that provided a near-perfect shield against HIV infection in clinical trials.
