Needless to say, this was not based on any science, research, or new data. It was a bribe paid by industry to the Republican party. And a death sentence for millions and millions of humans and other life on Earth. www.nbcnews.com/science/clim...

Just when I think Pete Hegseth is the worst person in the Trump administration, Kristi Noem says something, and I change my mind, then Pam Bondi says something, then JD Vance says something, then Stephen Miller says something, but then Donald Trump says something. Contest over.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Over last 3 years, US has spent around 2.34 Trillion on defense preparing for, among others, Russia. In same period we spent $187 Billion supporting Ukraine beating Russia. So: just 7.8 percent to defeat one of our biggest enemies, with no US losses Pretty good deal

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

Jimmy Carter was right about climate change. He was right about the Mideast conflict and apartheid in Israel and South Africa and the ongoing plagues of poverty and racism. It was he not Reagan who freed our hostages in Iran. A true man of God, he died beloved, which not many presidents do or will.

This is exhausting and a waste of time and money. The vaccine/autism connection has been tested & found lacking, whether for MMR, thimerosal, aluminum, "too many too soon" & more. This just further stigmatizes autism & casts doubt on vaccines (which is the point).
