All roads lead to the GOP Tax Scam.

David, Goliath, sounds about right.

Republicans would be screaming 'cop killer' every day if Obama did this: In your mind, turn the tables for a moment. If Barack Obama had sent a murderous mob against the Capitol and they had beaten and pepper-sprayed Officer Brian Sicknick so badly he suffered two strokes and died the next day,…

I only wish this is how tariffs actually worked but alas it is us who are going to get peed on. πŸ™„

Trump again sides with Musk over Bannon on β€œHB-1” Visas, admitting he uses them to hire waiters β€” which apparently can’t be found in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ? Interesting how supportive they are of immigration only when it benefits them personally.

REPORTER: Are you open to Elon buying TikTok? TRUMP: I would be, yeah

Who's to say

THIS (some of) IS WHAT CLERGY ARE TO DO NOW (video at link) You don't cozy up to power You speak prophetic truth to those who have power when you have the mic You use your voice and position to demand moral reckoning, safety, care, love, protection. YOU. TAKE. RISKS. It's your damn job.

Buried in the flurry of Executive Orders last night is one that halts all funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Yes, the law that Republicans and Democrats came together to pass that fixes our roads, modernizes old bridges and makes drinking water safer.

Double standard, indeed. πŸŽ―πŸŽ―πŸŽ―πŸ‘‡

A metaphor for the next four years! TRUMP DAY ONE: Keep the oligarchs warm and cozy while his MAGA cult is literally left out in the cold after paying big bucks to get there.

Easily the best description of him I’ve ever read.

β€œBut the eggs were just so expensive.”

What goes on in the dark always comes out in the light...

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... This is who they want running our military forces? He's who's going to make them great again? Ha! As an Army veteran, I am very very offended & pissed of at the thought of this individual leading our armed forces.

I no longer have the time, energy, or capacity for ignorant conversations, especially if you are not able to bring facts & data into them.

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/
