My friend from graduate school found out that funding for her NF1 project got pulled. From $25 mil to 0 with a stroke of a pen. NF1=Neurofibromatosis Type 1, an inherited genetic disorder. Both of us are early career scientists. ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿงฌ #Science #AcademicSky

It does no good to fact check Trump. People do not accept the facts. Democrats need to figure out a strategy to attack the lies head on.

๐ŸšจNEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Good question. Certainly there are progress reports or documentation of some kind during the probation process.

The White House Press briefings are now officially state controlled.

I think "dick" is a more appropriate term for her.

We are full on Nazism. The White House Press Briefing going on now is staged and obviously not a free press.

Trump just blamed the media for confusing the public about his sloppy federal monies freeze. But the Whitehouse rescinded the freeze. Is there no way to stop his firehose of lies?

Well, Hitler turned on Stalin; which may have had something to do with Russia joining forces with the U.S. during World War II.

We need to shine the light on important projects that were started or completed under the Infrastructure Act. Bridges. How many have been repaired? Uplifting limited series type thing or 60 Minutes segment.

I just heard that Trump shut off funding for the bipartisan infrastructure bill. If this is true, we need to put signs up at all the crumbling bridges that won't get funded and post a picture of Trump's face with the caption "I did this."

I do not know. But I know the Democrats need to come up with a future plan.

That is a good term. I only wish there was a more vile term for that vile bag of farts.

Reading "Mainstreet" novel by Sinclair Lewis. Published in 1920. Wow. The more things change....Sinclair writes about the social issues of the times. That is: poverty, ignorance, biases, class distinction, bigotry, etc. If you have read the book, I would love to hear your thoughts.

I reread East of Eden recently. I am not qualified as a literary analyst. But I cry everytime I finish one of his books. Mostly, because I do not want them to end! Hope to visit his home in Sag Harbor. And the Steinbeck museum in Salinas, CA.

Travels with Charley is full of historical references. Steinbeck witnessed the protests at William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana during desegregation in 1960. His perspective is in this travel log.

Taylor Swift has donated a whopping $250,000 to Operation Breakthrough, a nonprofit that provides programs and child care for children of the working poor.

The money will be divided between a jobs development program and after school child care services for families.

Simply amazing.

Does anyone know if McCarthy has elbowed anyone in the kidneys lately?

"I was staring at the stars and the moon kicked me in the ass." Quote from a hippie dude that tripped and flew over a campfire, rolled, stood up and made the above proclamation. Yosemite National Park, 1979.

Back at the hate club, I often wondered if my posts were seen at all. Not sure what that was about. If you see this post, could you drop a heart or any of those little doodads on me?
