The Dominion case thoroughly put to bed any notion that faux was a credible news network.

Sadly, their many viewers don’t understand this.

The lack of serious reporting about what is taking place is appalling. Americans deserve a much more in-depth look at what & why this is happening. The superficiality of mainstream news at present is troubling.

Once upon a time, the gop was all worked up about the national debt.

Then trump started a war at an enormous cost & those concerns disappeared.

He’d happily install the son of the Shah (who is angling for the job) so that he could have another autocrat he could try to control.

Some of us remember what the Shah’s SAVAK was responsible for re: human rights abuses.

With this administration I never assume they understand all elements of situation because they’re so frequently focused on performative actions and/or distraction.

DOJ: Trump administration won’t pay for β€˜Alligator Alcatraz’ construction costs - The Bradenton Times A $608 million federal reimbursement that Florida’s been counting on to pay for the so-called β€œAlligator Alcatraz” lockup won’t cover construction costs β€” if the money comes through at all, …

What a surprise! (NOT)

So Florida taxpayers are out millions despite assurances both from this president & governor that costs would be reimbursed for this unconstitutional stunt.

Apparently recent published reports of children’s letters & artwork has had consequences for the children imprisoned in ICE detention camps.

Works for me!

And most of the working & retired Americans I know who are exhausted by the chaos of this administration.

Good riddance!

Railroad tie fire in Central Florida town shows polluters’ disregard for environment, human life - The Bradenton Times Have you ever seen an out-of-control fire? I have. Seeing flames leaping wild and high, spreading smoke and ash everywhere, was one of the scariest sights ever. Now imagine seeing a fire like &hell...

What happens when the state of Florida intervenes in local control environmental issues: a cautionary tale. As Florida’s drought continues, fire concerns are real.

He made a fake ICE deportation tip line. Then a kindergarten teacher called. A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the β€œbanality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

Kindergarten teacher calls immigration report line not realizing it’s a parody, trying to deport kindergarten student.

Appalling. I have to feel sorry for children and families in her class.

Then she gets riled and does the β€œI want to speak with your supervisor” 🀦🏻

They forget we’ve seen the pictures of the planes they used for deportations, the ginormous military air transport planes.

Like we’re dumb enough to believe none would share her plane with folks who’ve been in detention with minimal sanitation. Yeah, right.

And distract further from Epstein given what’s going on in Britain, which is sure to just pull more attention to this issue.

Long overdue. Just sad that Virginia Guiffre didn’t live to see this & provide testimony.

He’s the poster child for Einstein’s clientele - and hopefully not the last to be charged.

Or because the courtiers surrounding the queen held back the information so as not to disturb an elderly mother, sharing just enough to justify the settlement.

Glad to see this arrest, as this individual has been the poster boy for the perpetrators (& one of the few named).

Yes, I was truly speechless, especially knowing how our poor kitty was impacted.

Some folks see pets as family, some as animals.

I don’t know about that, knew someone who was highly educated who did this?to save their sofa & I was just 😡. As someone in comments said, don’t like cats clawing, get a goldfish.

Making it illegal is the best route

Ask a Vet: Is it okay to declaw my cat? Cats can wreak havoc on furniture and wound people. But declawing is extremely painful and, in many places, illegal.

Why it’s not ok to declaw cats.

Posted in memory of our Sachi kitty, a rescue who came to us declawed. As a result, she loathed the vets more than any cat we’ve had.

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and β€˜biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

At her testimony in front of Congress last year, ex-CDC director Susan Monarez was asked what keeps her up at night.

She said, "The next outbreak".

Now, the #NIH will not make pandemic preparedness a priority for NIAID.

Recall that the US pulled out of WHO.

This Is How a Child Dies of Measles When your family becomes a data point in an outbreak

The measles virus infects ~90% of unvaccinated people exposed to it. The infected can then infect a dozen to several hundred people each.

This well-researched piece is a chilling, powerful account of exactly how easily a kid could get measles, and how they could die of it.

Must read!
