Pam Bondi is breaking the DOJ And will take generations to put it back together.

"In its current degraded state, the DOJ is purely reactive, capable only of defending the policies of an aging demagogue and targeting his enemies for retribution. In short, Bondi presides over a department of weaponization and nothing else." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Thank you very much

“Older Black Americans are twice as likely as white patients to develop [dementia]. Just as it is not illegal to research breast cancer in women, Mezuk said, it should not be illegal to research dementia in Black and lower-income white Americans.”

The brain microbiome: could understanding it help prevent dementia? Long thought to be sterile, our brains are now believed to harbour all sorts of micro-organisms, from bacteria to fungi.

Public sector pay deals help drive up UK borrowing Borrowing was £17.4bn last month, the second highest October figure since monthly records began in 1993.

Ridiculous BBC headline:
"Public sector pay deals help drive up UK borrowing".

Nothing to do with corporate welfare, contracts for cronies, Govt paying higher energy bills, HMRC not collecting £500bn since 2010, Tory legacy.

Just blame workers wanting decent pay.
