Since the House is in recess why don't Democrats interview Jack Smith on their own, in public and televise it on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow as moderator?

In my opinion, today’s Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad β€” Just like when they had three great days around the 2024 Presidential Election, and then, those numbers were β€œtaken away” on November 15, 2024, right after the Election, when the Jobs Numbers were massively revised DOWNWARD, making a correction of over 818,000 Jobs β€” A TOTAL SCAM. Jerome β€œToo Late” Powell is no better! But, the good news is, our Country is doing GREAT!

There is no covid without testing

Electing Trump in a free and fair election is one of the greatest own goals in human history

Fascism For First TimeΒ Founders Over the last year or so I've seen a disturbing tendency in tech/startup/VC worlds to buy into the neoreactionary view that for startups to be successful they need to get on board the Trump train. Yes, there are the big name folks who everyone knows about and who didn't really surprise anyoneβ€”Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, Elon Musk (pre-fallout)β€”but the more troubling trend has been watching younger entrepreneurs and VCs listen to their podcasts, read their posts and books, and slowly nod along to the idea that democracy is holding back innovation.

β€˜Tremendous uncertainty’ for cancer research as US officials target mRNA vaccines Amid Trump cuts and state-level backlash, experts worry that progress in messenger RNA vaccines could stall

Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub β€œmRNA” from grant proposals.

What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.

Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.

The tennis schedule is too much for the best players. To go deep at the French Open and still be β€œfresh” enough to compete for Wimbledon, is nearly impossible. Change the schedule for a richer year of competition. #wta #atp

Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran

This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

But we’d still be buying a for-profit product. Universal healthcare is the only way to go. Unions don’t have the qualified staff to negotiate with providers directly, unless the are unionized healthcare providers themselves.

Engineered heart muscle allografts for heart repair in primates and humans - Nature Epicardial engineered heart muscle allografts from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes can safely and effectively remuscularize chronically failing hearts in rhesus macaques, leading to improved cardiac function and paving the way for human clinical trials.

A muscle patch developed using stem cells can help to repair failing hearts without adverse effects, according to a paper in Nature. #Medsky πŸ§ͺ
