That money could have funded a new VA clinic in Navarre.

200 million dollars of waste.

Polite reminder: More people voted *against* Trump than voted for him. Please don't comment on cuts to VA programs with "they voted for it!" You're making assumptions with no exceptions. You wouldn't say that to federal workers being laid off... even though some of them voted for Trump.

Amazing photo.

Thousands of highly educated scientists are looking for work. Hire them.

Climate change will increasingly impact the ocean around Antarctica, and the life within it, as it progresses. Read the new paper by the excellent Ben Fisher and colleagues on how this will happen, what are the implications, and how we can improve our ability to predict the key changes. 🌊❄️🥼🧪

Remember when Trump lied about getting shot in the ear and wore a maxipad on his head for about a week before claiming the "bullet hole" magically healed with no scar? That wasn't even the craziest thing he did that month... How the hell did we get here..

New reports confirm what we already knew: the TikTok ban was about silencing opposition to Israel's genocide against Gazan children. Now that it is fashionable to oppose the genocide, will the threats against human rights activists cease?

Prentiss County Sheriff's Department, Mississippi has had to suspend its food giveaway due to funding cuts.

What does the extremely-online disgruntled white man think other nations envy about America? Certainly not our healthcare, education system, environmental and hazardous chemicals policies, violence, guns, prisons... If you don't have health, education, freedom & safety.. nothing else matters.
