Are you in Orlando or its surrounds? Do you want a furry friend? If so, let me know! Found a very friendly stray who loves scritches and is okay with being picked up! Percy is a good boy. Please help me find him a home!

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.

I predicted for months that taxpayers were going to end up paying for the ballroom. That’s because Trump had “pledges” from people to contribute money to pay for it, not checks. Now Republicans have the excuse they need to make us pay for it. “Customs duties” is bs. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

All countries between the US and Iran should shut down their airspace- deny landing rights, overflights, refueling or any other support for these explicit genocidal operations. Ideally, US military would refuse illegal orders and Congress would intervene- but that’s not happening. So, world must act
