That is a lie because Republicans have wanted to destroy Obamacare for 15 years now and they're getting their way.

Rosalind Franklin and the damage of gender harassment Spurred by a recent report on sexual harassment in academia, our columnist revisits a historical case and reflects on what has changedβ€”and what hasn’t

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

Rape Prevention Tips

If someone is drunk or asleep, DON'T RAPE them.

When you see someone walking by themselves. LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Use a BUDDY SYSTEM! If it is difficult for you to stop yourself from raping someone, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times.

Carry a RAPE WHISTLE. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow that whistle until someone comes to stop you.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. When asking someone out, don't pretend that you are interested in them as a person. Tell them straight up that you expect to be raping the later, If you don't communicate your intentions, they make take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.

Japanese scientists find microplastics are present in clouds

Researchers in Japan have confirmed that microplastics are present in clouds, where they are likely affecting the climate in ways that are not yet fully understood.

The team identified nine different types...

Mamdani says that members of the Trump goon squad who commit violent assaults and traffic accidents will face accountability in the courts. Same message we heard from Gov Hochul last week.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly β€œhanded” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

You’re gonna hear a lot of this today. It’s okay to be freaked out but do not let this stop you from voting! If they relocate you, GO. You have a RIGHT today to cast a vote.

If you need help getting around, ASK. I will help you or try to find someone who can! STAY IN LINE. IT IS YOUR RIGHT.

I dunno why wanting kids to have food is so controversial and radical.

"Kids should eat" isn't a wild outlandish wish.

We’re going to have to get used to this. 2026 and 2028 are likely to look very similar.

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, attempts to prevent US citizens from voting should be a red line for you.

We can’t allow terroristic threats to keep us from the polls.

So just saying this again because as a hospice caregiver, i see people take their last breath.

Death is not some magical clearance and speaking truthfully about someone who has died isn't "speaking ill of the dead."

I am not afraid of my words.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

I'm looking to speak to people who rely on SNAP about what this past week has been like. If that's you, please reach out, or pass along to others. Can be anonymous.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Virginia and New Jersey can show that Trump isn't inevitable MAGA might be in for an ass-whuppin' on Tuesday.

"Victories remind elites Trump is not some sort of eternal expression of the American volk. The press will have to at least briefly acknowledge MAGA fascism is not inevitable. Institutions that have been acting as if Trump is a rightful king will be confronted with a sweeping rejection of him."

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

1984, Idiocracy version Trump is like Big Brother if Big Brother were an incompetent buffoon.

"Instead of educating people about Reagan β€” the usual goal of a presidential foundation β€” the Reagan Foundation bent the knee and is trying to change truth and history in order to support the ideological whims of the current regime."

Scott Adams--notorious racist and anti-vaxxer--now wants to try a cancer drug--only approved by the FDA in 2022.
Also, pluvicto is supposed to be used on patients who have already had hormone therapy and chemo.
Adams said in May he was taking ivermectin for the cancer & had weeks to live.
