Alice, a poodle lab mix

Oh Alice. Picked up as a stray in Arkansas and unclaimed. She was scheduled to be euthanized but caught a break and is coming to the Twin Cities. She needs a foster home and some love.

We’ve got to keep the Epstein victims and survivors centered while we pursue transparency and accountability.

Their stories must be told.

Single Daily Tablet Shows Powerful Results for People With Drug-Resistant HIV A large international clinical trial has unveiled a promising new option for people living with highly treatment-resistant HIV.

A development such as this has been a goal for HIV researchers for decades. It is important because people who are faced with difficult treatment regimens are less likely to be compliant.

Once again, I'll have to disagree. If a person is selfless, smart, experienced and has integrity, what matter is the person's gender?
That notwithstanding, as I've said, I think the time is ripe for a woman to be heading the country.

I dont think that's a fair statement at all, given that a lot of the current bullshit is coming from women.
You want Pam Bondi, or Lauren Boebert as president? Or how about Ghislane Maxwell?
That being said, yes, I would finally like to see a woman In the White House.
