Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

This is "government efficiency" - Musk style - as medicine is left abandoned in a warehouse so people can DIE. Trump & Musk are mass murderers. (John Green is an author, Crash Course eduction designer, and involved heavily in supporting medical philanthropy in developing nations)

You know how Brussels Sprouts taste a lot better than they did in the 80s, and sales more than doubled in the US as a result, putting Vitamins A, B6, C and K in our diets? That was the work of an innovation lab. They were able to reduce the bitterness to make the nutrients easier to consume. Hey ho.

When your entire ideology is premised on government is extractive, inefficient & a hindrance to economic growth rather than government is a necessary in supporting markets redistribution & human capital, you might never learn this. Democracy against state capacity will have tragic consequences.

If the President can shut down agencies created by statute and funded by appropriation, just because he wants to, then Congress might as well close up shop and go home. If the President can appoint people to do this without any confirmation and oversight, same.

There's no avoiding the Abe Vigoda "Fuck This" Resting Face. I'll be wearing that face for the next four years as the Trump Crime Family tosses a severed horse's head on America's bed as they implode and loot our Gov't.

government mandated online age verification is a bad idea and if you are still pushing for it please take like 5 minutes of your life to read about why basically every human rights organization in the world opposes online ID checks that would end anonymity and harm marginalized communities

Brian Thompson's funeral was yesterday. UHC already has a new CEO, his name is Andrew Witty. He claims denying coverage improves our healthcare system by avoiding “unnecessary care” that would make the system “too complex” and “unsustainable” salary:$23,534,936/year. He gets paid denying you care.

I think there should be an effort made to contact nancy mace's office and express our concern for her mental well being. Surely there are folks who work or are friends with her who can look into this and perhaps get her the help she so clearly needs.

One of the things in here is the constant nighttime harassment of homeless people by police. It's a torture tactic used by departments across the country drive them out of town, drive them insane, or both.

Randy Fine is a Jewish Republican serving in the Florida state Senate, running for Congress to replace a Congressman joining the Trump admin. This is a threat of violence against Muslim Congresswomen. It is incumbent on every American Jewish organization to denounce this.

Would it be out of order for some member of Congress to ask Nancy Mace to empty her purse so we can see whether she has hormonal birth control in it? Or the purses of her older colleagues to look for hormone replacement therapy?
