Here we are, secrets to reveal
Surely it was porno
That was the art in deal
Two creepy people with nothing good to say
We wish that they both would go away

Two Creepy People
Here we are, in a messy feud
Trading accusations
Fighting dude to dude
Two creepy people insulting all day
We wish that they both would go away.

This is as (not) helpful to Jews as “Jews for Jesus.” As J Street commented, rely on the First Amendment — not apparatchiks with agendas. In fact I view this as anti-Semitic.

Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term, adding that “it is far too early to think about it.”

Ultimately, this is what those who capitulate to Trump are enabling.

All of the dehumanization, assaults on the rule of law & fundamental rights, draconian policies are in service of this authoritarian power grab. And it’s not going to end well for anyone but Trump. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

EV chargers at Denver Federal Center to be shut down A memo to workers at the center says the 22 chargers aren’t “mission critical,” and will soon be deactivated.

Employees who continue to work for the federal government were told to come back to the office. At Denver Federal Center, if they do, they won't be able to charge their cars.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

I’ve been thinking about this a lot—both in our politics more generally, but also in the meteoric rise of far-right, misogynistic, racist, etc politics among younger voters who were stuck at home and isolated during a pivotal moment in their social and psychological development.
