They should really just reduce it down to F and D. The way the game is played now, the positions really just indicate where players line up for a face-off.

Republicans thought that the guy who gave us a fucking toilet paper shortage would somehow improve an already thriving economy. Brilliant.....

The DOL Office of the Inspector General (β€œDOL OIG”) does critical work related to
unemployment insurance fraud. To take just one example, during the pandemic, federal
and state governments distributed over $888 billion in unemployment benefits to support
Americans in crisis. However, my office uncovered that an estimated $191 billion in
pandemic unemployment benefits may have been improperly paidβ€”with a substantial
portion of that money attributable to fraud.

5. A week before my purported termination at DOL IG, the Wall Street Journal ran an article
commending my team and me on the great work we were combatting unemployment
insurance fraud. It also mentioned the need to extend the statute of limitations. The article
highlighted a U.S. Government Accountability Office report, estimating that $135 billion
in funds had been stolen from the unemployment insurance program in a two-year span.

Pulmonary vein reconnection rates after pulse field ablation: time for a reality check? This editorial refers to β€˜Repeat Procedures After Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: MANIFEST-REDO Study’, by D. Scherr et al., https://doi.org

This editorial and the associated article are eye-opening. PFA is not as effective as we originally thought. One takeaway from this is that mapping and ICE have a more vital role in ensuring contact for durable ablation.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Revisiting January 6th: The Truth in Motion (Videos Of Pardoned Criminals) Uncovering the Lies, Confronting the Violence, and Standing Firm for Democracy

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Long-awaited DNA analysis proves Zeigler innocent in 1975 murders, lawyers say After 48 years on death row, the results of Zeigler’s successful battle for DNA testing could mark a breakthrough.

Long-awaited DNA analysis proves longest serving inmate on #Florida death row is innocent in 1975 murders, lawyers say. If declared innocent, he'd join 30 other wrongfully convicted men released from Florida’s death row β€” the most of any state. www.tampabay.com/news/crime/2...

Judge Merchan: "Binding precedent does not provide that an individual, upon becoming President, can retroactively dismiss or vacate prior criminal acts nor does it grant blanket Presidential-elect immunity. This Court is therefore forbidden from recognizing either form of immunity."
