So, let me get this straight:

Elon knew that the Orange Pedo is on the Epstein list, but decided that being a pedo is not a deal breaker and supported the pedo with hundreds of millions of dollars anyway.

Did I get that right?

Trump is so thin-skinned. He can stand anyone laughing at him or mocking him. Keep it up!

We went to the cemetery today to visit my husband's family plot. It's a small cemetery, and walking back to the car (about 3 rows) I found six of these without even going out of my way. I'm sure there were plenty more.

*This* is why we vaccinate. Because we can.

Dear God

Meet the Pentagon’s new press secretary

Republicans’ idea of Small Government™️ is when a small group of white men get to tell the rest of what to do and what we can do.

I bet Joe Biden will complain less about cancer than Trump about Taylor Swift.

You’re free to leave whenever you want.

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat.

In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

Nor I

Graph of benefits to cost ratio for federal R&D over time. Bottom: 1 dollar spent. Solid blue line: economic benefit alone. Upper dashed line all benefits (primarily economic plus health). Graph runs from 1975 to 2020. Peak at $8 for economic benefits and $16 for all benefits. 2020 at $5 for economic benefits, $9 for all.

This article makes a good case that every dollar spent on Federal research & development generates between $5-12 in return.

In the graph below, the lower line is economic benefit alone, while the upper includes health and other benefits.

So why the rush to drastically cut R&D?

PS to the Trump administration's great patriotic war on girls' dolls and pencils: notice how "unnecessary foreign luxuries" are female-coded. An outboard motor is crammed with Chinese components, but try to imagine Trump asking, "Do Americans really need to own personal boats?"

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border..

Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind

Reporter: Oh I could

Judge Hellerstein destroys EVERY PART of Trump's Alien Enemies Act case

-Immigrants have NOT invaded the US

-They MUST be given meaningful due process

-The US ALREADY wrongfully deported migrants, so no more will be sent "where they would endure abuse and inhumane treatment with no recourse"

Trump keeps saying US spent 350 billion defending Ukraine

Its actually 140 billion but only 80 billion has been delivered.

Billions went to American jobs- we gave Ukraine our weapons and constructed newer weaponry for US arsenal

Europe has given far more $ than the US

Our trade deficit isn’t the crisis Trump wants us to believe…

It’s not other countries taking advantage of the U.S. —It’s what happens when you’re the richest country on earth with a consumer-driven economy.

We import so much because Americans benefit from cheaper goods made abroad.

Page One must have been crowded.

So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡

President Trump posting an image of himself as Pope. We aren't a serious country, and he's not a mentally well man.

If Joe Biden had said he “wasn’t sure” if he needed to uphold the Constitution, Republicans would have lost their fucking minds.

Indeed for me too

Disgusting

Why did Tommy Tuberville vote in Florida if he lived in Alabama? Election records show Tuberville voted in Florida after he says a homestead exemption puts his residency in Alabama.

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.
