Dr. Peter Hotez: β€œThe bottom line is, autism has a clear genetic basis. You can make the case that the overwhelming amount of the clinical presentation of autism is due to the actions of those genes.β€œ

United States attorneys offices all have prosecutorial guidelines – amounts of financial loss or property damage, etc. below which they won’t bring a case. I’ve never heard of a financial fraud guideline loss threshold anywhere near as low as 18 K, which is the amount of loss in the James case.

So Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout and is now building a Qatari military facility in Idaho.

Mike Davis clerked for Neil Gorsuch, worked in DOJ and on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now he is an election denier troll who peddles conspiracies on Steve Bannon's show.

So, of course, all of that makes him a close ally of the Trump regime.

also a sign of how far trump has checked out-there is zero chance in the old days he would countenance anyone else taking credit, even in a slip of the tongue

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their β€˜America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

In a statement sent to the Las Vegas Sun, U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto lambasted the administration’s β€œlack of transparency” and urged Burgum to provide clarity.

β€œSolar energy production makes electric bills cheaper, creates good-paying jobs, and drives economic growth,” Cortez Masto said.

🚨Measles is spreading in U.S. In 2025, there have been 1,563 measles cases in 41 states. This is nearly a 450% increase compared to 2024. Almost all cases are in unvaccinated people.

This is highest incidence of measles in more than 20 yrs. Measles rapidly spreads when vaccine coverage slips.
