Trump/RFK are decapitating our public health system, a pillar of American greatness. So Dem Govs should scour every corner of the law for creative new ways to defend their people from this madness.

Dems should polarize this debate to the max.

Thoughts on this here:

More healthcare research cancelled. It’s going to take decades to recover if we ever get our gov’t back.

β€œThe Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) has enrolled tens of thousands of participants in clinical trials … over more than 3 decades. Its findings have had a major influence on health care.”

Tariffs are B-A-D Economics.
YouTube video by National Retail Federation Tariffs are B-A-D Economics.

Just in case...anyone, anyone...you needed a reminder...anyone, anyone...that Ben Stein...anyone, anyone...was not only a actor, but a great economic professor.

Tarriffs are BAD economics.

Adobe is abandoning DEI. If you’re looking for an alternative, check out Affinity’s apps. They offer replacements for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. You can get a universal license for all 3 for $165 and not have to worry about subscription fees. I made the switch a few years ago.

WTF? Fort Custer is in/near a highly populated area. Why would anyone want that? Sigh. Walberg is unfortunately my congress weasel and he needs to go.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies The cookies are soft & chewy, packed with chips & go beyond the standard chocolate chip cookie with nutty tasting oats. Make with King Arthur Baking.

This tends to be my go to recipe: www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/choc...

My go-to substitute for cookies are flax eggs. 1 Flax egg = 1 tablespoon ground flax seed + 3 tablespoons water, mix and let sit for several minutes until it thickens.

IMO, flax eggs work best if you use a blender to mix the ground flax seed and water. You’ll get a better β€œegg” consistency.

Personally, I only use egg substitutes in cookie recipes. Egg is typically used as a binder here and is extremely easy to replace without affecting taste or texture. I look for vegan recipes to make cakes, muffins, etc.

No eggs? Here's your guide for substituting What are the best options for replacing eggs in baking? From flax eggs to aquafaba, here are our go-to swaps.

I saw this article today and it seems timely with the price of eggs increasing and the spread of avian flu affecting supply.

We should be teaching kids β€œhow to learn” and problem solve starting in elementary school.

College for me was a lesson on how to live with and get along with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and beliefs.
