Watson in his autobiography, since he couldn’t completely erase Rosalind Franklin, pretended she had just provided amateur snapshots for the structure of DNA.

Seven million people in the streets for No Kings rallies has traumatized MAGAts even beyond the anti-Trump voter turnout on Nov. 4.

I had heard that the skin of potatoes is also nutrient-rich, yet more people (and armies) peel potatoes than even apples.

Trump's Labor Department is gutting more than 60 regulations, including:

-Minimum wage & overtime pay for in-home care workers
-Organizing rights for migrant farmworkers
-Penalties for companies that don’t maintain a safe workplace

The β€œpro-worker” president strikes again.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

Bring back Hank Williams, Hank Snow and Lefty Frizzell, and the 91% top marginal tax rate and a heavily unionized factory workforce that they lived with.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months.

If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress.

To my knowledge, they have not done so.
