Tonight I'm texting Nancy Pelosi and asking HER for $5

Casey Means, Trump’s pick for Surgeon General, owns a company that sells a wearable device for monitoring glucose in people who don’t need to monitor their glucose.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

The people start chanting “no more wars” — and this is in Tulsa, OK. I don’t think the media is going to be able to manufacture consent as easily for this one.

This is brutal. This would never be tolerated in a men’s pro league! Sky need new ownership STAT.
