I just filed for re-election in Texas’s 37th district in Austin. We’re going to fight to ban gerrymandering nationwide, stop Trump’s corruption, and make Congress work for workers, not just the billionaires.

Whoa, that's sneaky!

Someone on here made an interesting point that because the Wicked films were shot at the same time and the second one just picks up where the first one left off, Wicked 2 shouldn't be nominated for anything since it's just the same movie cut in two.

Frank Gehry's first big project in New York City was this building. I worked there for ~7 years. The place was insane. The walls curved, and came together at odd angles. The rooms were the strangest sizes. You'd find a balcony or whole other wing to a floor where you'd least expect it. It ruled. RIP

They just ruled Texas could do it so that would really be something to let one state do it while another one can't.

If you need to understand what's happening, this farce is a perfect place to begin.

A broken, unhappy man is being given a fake award he doesn't deserve by a corrupt group looking to bribe him and earn favors. It's meaningless, everything he wants, and it won't matter to him within an hour.

It's amazing how determined Trump is in writing his own history story and people/organizations just go along with it. I also wonder if FIFA made a deal with him to not "disappear" World Cup players and fans next year.

Sham wow!

Text on a yellow background states ACIP's vote to weaken the Hepatitis B vaccine birth-dose recommendation is reckless and undermines public confidence. The AMA urges the CDC to reject this action, citing it's not based on scientific evidence.

Today’s action to weaken the birth-dose recommendation for the Hepatitis B vaccine disregards data supporting the effectiveness of the Hepatitis B vaccine, and creates confusion for parents about how best to protect their newborns. Full statement: spr.ly/633227f3XE

Don't tell me I'm going to have to choose between James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett. Ugh.

Lastly, we get to ‘Donner’ and ‘Blitzen.’

‘Donner’ was originally ‘Donder,’ which is Standard Dutch meaning “thunder.”

‘Blitzen’ comes from the Standard Dutch ‘bliksem,’ which means “lightning.”

We've always thought these two were the bad boys of the sleigh.

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

I didn't know pharmacists could write prescriptions.

This is a problem throughout Texas and the whole country really, especially rural areas where hospitals are closing. It's a real problem that's not being addressed by this incompetent federal government. And Abbott certainly isn't doing anything to help. This is a crisis for the country.

Good point! 😂

Did anyone ask if JD Vance was acting president while Trump was getting an MRI? Wouldn’t that be a procedure where the president is, y’know, unable to perform his duties? 🤔

Dems really need to start an advertising campaign that educates young Americans about the history of the regulations that the Trump administration wants to do away with.

'The Precedent Is Flint': How Oregon's Data Center Boom Is Supercharging a Water Crisis Amazon data centers constructed in eastern Oregon's farmland have worsened a water pollution problem that’s been linked to cancer and miscarriages.

Rolling Stone: clearly documents a 30+ year long con job. A rural county's own leadership lined their pockets by helping ag interests destroy the water supply.

Everyone who read the article apparently??: Amazon data centers did this in 2011

It's just awful.

This is really important. Both in the fact of IMLS reinstating grants. (Which have been *crucial* for libraries and civic life across the country. Notably in rural areas.)

And in the example that the overall stalwartness and rigor of federal district/circuit courts has made a huge difference.
