How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

PM Justin Trudeau was in Vancouver today. This is what he was doing. Just posted: "I made a promise in 2015: To honour Canada’s relationship with Indigenous Peoples & work alongside them as partners & equals. And it will always be the job of every Prime Minister who follows to uphold that promise."

I've been posting about @noaa.gov a lot, but NSF funds almost all oceanographic research in the US. This is going to be devastating for the ocean community AND all other sciences. NSF is critical to maintain US science and technology excellence and leadership nationwide and globally.

I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the vibrant and unique culture and history of Canada. Today, it is poet, activist and future Oscar nominee, Chief Dan George, delivering his iconic speech "A Lament for Confederation" in Vancouver on July 1, 1967. #ProudlyCanadian 📸CBC

It's terrifying and gut-wrenching to see the dismantling of US government services & the unfettered firing of US public servants by unqualified people who have no idea what they're doing. Thinking of my US colleagues & friends affected by this autocratic bullshit. Absolutely disgusting to watch.

Canadians, can we all - once and for all - reject the lie Conservative lie that Government should be run like a business? Enough is enough. Governments exist to provide services, develop policies to improve our lives, and to spend our tax dollars responsibly. #ableg #abed #abpoli #cndpoli

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.
