How completely bizarre

God I hate being right

Science at work! Some really exciting advances here.

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off.

Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.”

He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.

The grimmest realization is that a substantial number of Americans are born serfs, best suited for a monarchy, who thinks that’s manly and admirable and right.

The @democrats.senate.gov need a new leader. Schumer is unable to meet this moment. He cannot be the opposition leader when he’s a spineless collaborator.

It’s absolutely infuriating and a complete abdication of responsibility to fight for us.

Exactly.

The Democratic Party is betraying every 1 fighting 4Democracy. If they won't stand up 4us, wtf r we doing? I don't want 2ever see another post from Schiff, Schumer, etc about how dangerous Trump is or the silence from GOPs bc Dems are just as dangerous & spineless for enabling him😡

Fuck Democrats🖕

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

"We're going to have to suffer through some bad news." To them, it's just bad news. A bummer headline. To actual real people, it means losing a job. Losing benefits. Losing their house, their car, their savings. This isn't a game.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

So, a couple of decades ago, a couple of randos that had failed at adulting successfully got jobs with the US DoD. Against all odds, working for DoD suited them, and they excelled. At one point, they wound up working in eastern Europe on a peacekeeping mission together and became brothers in arms.

Elon Musk Says DOGE 'Accidentally Canceled' Ebola Prevention Elon Musk made alarming comments about Ebola prevention measures during President Donald Trump's first Cabinet meeting.

Infectious diseases don’t stay put and they don’t take breaks. US-funded systems that work to stop outbreaks of deadly diseases like Ebola can’t be simply be toggled on and off like a light switch. Lapses have consequences. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

First full week of RFK, & it’s hard to imagine this won't happen in other states, too.
