Critical wisdom for Republicans from a REAL genius AND Nobel winner who didn't call himself a genius and grovel for prizes:

β€œWhoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” -Albert Einstein ☒️

CDC has been a global leader in public health & played a key role in smallpox eradication. Health depts in red states & blue states rely on CDC expertise & support. The CDC EIS program trains the next generation of public health leaders & disease detectives.

They are burning it to the ground.

They're putting Frank Bisignano in charge of the IRS now.

This is the same guy who's overseen late checks, long lines, and closed offices at the Social Security Administration.

If he can screw up your Social Security, he can screw up your taxes.

And that's kind of the point.

Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life' Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Pope Leo says Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions.

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty...or agrees with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the US,
is not really pro-life."

Idaho Freedumb Foundation freaks out over Qatari military facility in Mountain Home.

To me, this is the least objectionable part of the plan and actually weakens our ties with Israel. Many on the left are having a knee jerk reaction against. The xenophobic right is reacting like it's over the line.

The #NoKings rallies are celebrations of democracy and civil rights. They are defiance against authoritarianism. And yes, opposition to fascism. It's No Kings, not No Presidents.

If you think that means we hate America, that says more about how you view America than it does about us.

President Calls on Qatar to Stop Supporting Terrorism President Trump says the nation of Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level and that it's time to stop this funding, stop teaching hate, and stop the killing. "We ask Qatar and other ...

The way you know that Labrador is full of crap is that he would be outraged if the Oregon National Guard was deployed to Idaho without the permission of Gov. Little. These people are beneath contempt and they are betraying their oaths to the US Constitution and tearing the country apart. #idpol

So Trump is just going to put farmers out of business and give them corporate welfare?

While sending $20 billion to Argentina?

This is the Golden Age?

The U.S. just bailed out Argentina, treasury secretary confirms The U.S. Treasury has finalized a financial rescue of Argentina, including a currency swap arrangement with the country’s central bank.

We can’t support our farmers. We can’t provide medical insurance subsidies or fund education properly but we can bail out a country with a lunatic leader? Seems legit.

We did the math, and Sen. Risch has officially sold out Idaho families for his billionaire friends. Senator Risch voted to drastically raise healthcare premiums for Idahoans.

Dems are advancing a winning populist issue and they either aren't campaigning on it or they aren't getting traction in the new balkanized media. Either way, they need to unfuck it. Good on Idaho Ds for this.
