“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump.

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?

This. Maybe repubs and dems should demand that Congress hold hearings on this fraud? Get this assertion on the record and under oath? What's the hold up???

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all. time.com/7216299/nih-...

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

Note the frequency with which the term DEI is now thrown about by Republicans — during racist rants, abstract protests, and every form of dissent in between. DEI has become the new “N-word.” It’s clear that “DEI” has been co-opted by the right as a racial slur — a racist dog-whistle. When…
