#Trump has promised "retribution" and we've always assumed it was against specific people But stories like this convince me his feelings were so hurt after the 2020 election that he is seeking retribution against everyone and everything He's fucking with us for fun www.vox.com/politics/400...

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

The real reason for the war on NIH is this: People from the Shark Tank, venture capital world are intimidated by the rigorous NIH grant review process Each NIH $ is spent with the most rigorous review in human history and that scares these people who value power ties when investing

I have watched the Super Bowl every year since the Giants beat the Bills in the early 90s and have been an NFL fan throughout all this time I am unlikely to watch tomorrow's game in part because I am disappointed with my country and do not feel like joining its national celebration

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Further proof that "Empty barrels make the most noise" #Trump on the DC plane crash: "We do not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong opinions" Giuliani on the 2020 election fiasco: "We have lots of theories, we just don't have the evidence"
