β€˜Rare’ ancient Roman item found buried under 1,800-year-old fence in Scotland. See it The β€œunusual” and β€œvisually striking” artifact might have been buried as an offering, archaeologists said.

I actually like this publican (crazy, right). I also read the Greek Reporter. Neither for politics though.

Hearing from a source:

"A friend at NCI lost 3 outstanding staff (their words) and tweeted about it. She was suspended for 2 days. No idea how her tweet was flagged."

This is for all the people asking us why it's hard to tell what's happening at NIH. Retaliation is real.

You have $100 in your checking account.

One day, you check your balance and it's $60. You haven't made any withdrawals.

You call the bank. They say $40 was taken as part of their "waste, fraud and abuse" program.

Would you be ok with it?

Coz it's happening to your social security and Medicaid.

It's OK if You're Not Ok. No One Who's Paying Attention Right Now, is. β€œHow are you?” I asked my dear friend Julie, as she fell down into her chair across from me with a loud exhale.

No matter how we choose to respond to these unthinkable, heartbreaking, destabilizing days, none of us are immune from the internal sh*t-kicking they bringβ€”none of us.

Johnson Ousts Turner as Intelligence Chairman, Bowing to Trump (Gift Article) Representative Michael R. Turner, Republican of Ohio, had at times been critical of the president-elect. He told people that he was axed after an edict from Mar-a-Lago.

OK, this is bad.

BREAKING: Per CNN Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick for Director of National Intelligence, was placed on a TSA list that prompts additional security screening after her overseas travel pattern and foreign connections caused a government investigation. This is terribly damaging.

"Yes she is corrupt but she isn't Matt Gaetz" is the strongest endorsement I've heard so far for Pam Bondi's AG nomination.

Authoritarianism Expert Delivers Chilling Assessment On Trump Cabinet Picks It's not β€œjust that these people are not qualified enough" or even "totally unqualified," warned Timothy Snyder, who said their selection aims to do one thing.

β€œTaken together, these appointments suggest an attempt to make our government dysfunctional, to make it fall apart, to pervert it, until it’s not capable of doing anything at all.” They’re not just unqualified but β€œanti-qualified.”

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.

Politician pleads guilty in sexual assault case after being elected to Hancock County Council HANCOCK COUNTY, Ind. β€” A current central Indiana county commissioner has pleaded guilty in a Nevada sexual assault case, days after being elected to his local County Council. John D. Jessup – a cur…

A Trump supporting, anti-trans, anti-gay Republican was elected commissioner of the county where I grew up. He won despite being in jail on election night for a sexual assault in Vegas.

It’s now come out that the woman he assaulted was his daughter.

Trump's nomination of Gaetz will be the clearest signal yet of whether GOP senators are ready to do his bidding on all sorts of issues.

If Trump can get 51 votes for Gaetz, he can get a Senate majority for just about anything β€” like cutting back Social Security.

Be warned.
