The last few followers I've gotten have included several accounts whose profile pictures are just cleavage. Clearly these are all sweat shop propagandists, but I wonder how many of them are located within the U.S.? Do they work for Trump? For Musk?

@maddow.msnbc.com I think the reasoning is that, if you die from Measles, you are never going to get cancer, so that makes the percentage of people who have had measles and then later had cancer go down considerably. If you leave out the dead ones, though, the math doesn't work.

"Brazil’s prosecutor-general on Tuesday formally charged former President Jair Bolsonaro with attempting a coup to stay in office after his 2022 election defeat, in a plot that included a plan to poison his successor and current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and kill a Supreme Court judge."

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

I've felt entertained by some of the "remember when?" kind of videos on YouTube, but I watched one today from 1979 and I felt like I was witnessing a time capsule of the beginning of the end. Mindless, bland movies, music and TV dominated -- I think it was when we began dumbing down.

Is Trump firing the people who track how many people are out of work in the United States? If they give the federal workers bogus bad employment reviews, are they ineligible for unemployment benefits?

#ProudBlueVets Imagine serving your country in the military, putting your life on the line and then have this happen: in a late-night purge, on Valentine’s Day seven federal agencies carried out mass layoffs. 1,000 at the VA, America’s largest employer of military veterans. FOTUS & Musk did this.🤬
