I do believe this is the guiding light of America's military. It has been for a quarter of a millennium.

If you don't like it, I fully understand. Please block me.
To extort concessions from Democrats, if the government runs out of money and there's a shutdown next Wednesday, Trump is threatening not to temporarily lay off federal workers, but to just fire them.

I'm sorry for you, and your brother, and your family. I have to assume your brother didn't use his condition to help destroy America, as Trump is doing. I think it is both fair and just to underline Trump's unsuitability to hold the office he holds.

It amuses me how so many doofuses think scientists are in it for the money, and snakeoil carnival barkers aren't.
"Good Christians" oppose programs like SNAP that give food to the poor. When reminded that Jesus said we should feed the poor, "Good Christians" say that's different from having government force you to do it. But they're okay with government PREVENTING a trans kid from getting medical care. Odd.

I mean, Jesus never said anything about abortion or gays or trans folk, but he did talk about that other stuff.
Weird.
Serious scholars have examined what happens when we change the number of H1-B visas issued.
Cities that get more H1-B immigrants subsequently see the wages of natives *rise* substantially.
Skilled immigrants bring new ideas, fill labor shortages and make us all more productive.
I'm not an intellectual property attorney but I have to believe that Trump, RFK Jr, and their gang of lunatics and quacks are callous, foolish, and reckless by persistently isolating and impugning the brand name Tylenol instead of the generic chemical, which is acetaminophen.

He's also gonna announce a treatment for autism--leucovorin, a snakeoil dietary supplement (really just folic acid) that happens to be sold by a company associated with Mehmet Oz (also known as "Dr." Oz), who now runs Medicare and Medicaid, and stands to make millions off this particular scam.
