Enough is enough.

Y'all!!! I have a news break. Please join and be ready. We must be on it, like fly paper... you already know. On like fly paper!

What series do you love right now?

I just launched a new starter pack for anyone looking to dive deeper into health and longevity on Bluesky. This is a balanced list of scientists, communicators, and advocates, all of whom regularly post valuable evidence-based content on #aging, #longevity, and #healthspan! 🧪🔬💊 go.bsky.app/D7Snnab

Trump radically softened some of his most severe tariff rhetoric after the CEOs of Walmart, Target and Home Depot met privately with him and warned that his trade policies could have devastating effects within just two weeks with supply chains disrupted.

Flashback to 2023, when Pete Hegseth emphatically argued that there are “two tiers of justice” and there must be accountability for “handling classified documents flippantly.” Fast forward to 2025, and Hegseth’s hypocrisy is breathtaking in the wake of TWO Signalgate…

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Putin’s BOGO. Seems like he got the bargain of a lifetime. Working out very well for him.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

SCUM

HOLD UP! The $10 million that DeSantis’ administration diverted to a state-created charity last year consisted of Medicaid dollars owed to state and federal taxpayers —- contrary to what the governor and other officials have publicly asserted.

Why won’t Trump release the Epstein Files? Hmm…

My latest starter pack. They are all excellent accounts, they are all in this fight, and they are all worth a follow.

In the clearest departure from the U.S. political class, Pope Francis wrote that “it is absurd to permit the continued exploration and expansion of fossil fuel infrastructures." Published June 2, 2023:

In this new starter pack, you will find 150 accounts of Europeans and Americans fighting against far-right political parties, tyrants and oligarchs, both in their own countries and abroad.

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

American media are truly stuck on stupid. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The IRS launched its own tax filing program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this.  Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program. Hello?

TRUMP AND HIS CORRUPT FAMILY have already illegally profited literally BILLION$$ from "Pay for Play" - selling influence, ignoring our Emoluments Cause of the US Constitution; as if Law simply doesn't apply at all to the entitled Trump/Kushner Clan; Market Manipulation is just a part of DJT profits.

Notice his hands…👇 Absolutely. No. Tattoos.✨

The Trump regime significantly increased their pledge to pay the government of El Salvador. In early February, President Bukele and Secretary of State Marco Rubio agreed that the U.S. would pay $6 million to incarcerate and torture immigrants — and American citizens. The charge has since been…
