NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions? This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one. We founded two. Here’s how.

The reporting experiment demonstrates how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. No credentials or background checks required.

Ken Paxton's pedophile network is much bigger than the Epstein files. This article uncovers a lot of corruption in TX govt and religious organizations. I believe most Texans reject corruption of this magnitude, especially hurting children. It's sickening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oh Niall, I am so sorry for your loss. Mr Big was a gregarious goofball & its heartbreaking to lose him. I was concerned when you hadn't posted about him since he left for the hospital. Did they figure out what was going on with him? Based on his condition, this outcome isn't shocking, just so sad.❤️

Medical science has long treated Parkinson's purely as a brain disorder. Nagoya University researchers discovered gut microbiome damage from lack of bacterial genes that create vitamins B2 and B7; this damages intestinal barriers, & toxins cause neuroinflammation. en.nagoya-u.ac.jp/news/article...

Bruno looks so calm and those eyes are just breathtaking! He’s had a rough time but he’s definitely winning life now. What an adorable boy and he’ll be so safe and cared for at HD. His little smile at the end seems like he understands. ❤️

You have shown real courage in your efforts & it’s been quite a journey. You’ve shown the world who you are & what an amazing imagination you have & that’s all through your writing. Seeing you put yourself “out there” to get people to read your work deserves a lot of credit & I’m glad it’s working.

Omg this is a pet peeve of mine!! I had a blind, senior cat w kidney disease that required the special kidney food, which is a Rx. But this vet’s online pharmacy would not rush ship food!! It took 10 days!! I demanded he let me use Chewy because I’d get it in 2 days, max. Then I quit that vet!!

My Airedale is new dog reactive so this is not a sight I C often. Using treats now to distract her when we cross paths w other dogs on our walks & it seems to be helping but it takes a handful of treats each time so I have to ensure my supply is adequate, as part of our pre-walk prep, 4 consistency.

In Canada, when calling a company’s customer service number, one is greeted by a message stating that any attempts to berate or otherwise threaten customer service representatives will result in the call being terminated. Every single time. Even US companies don’t do that (and I know it happens). 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

Bruno looks a lot better today, but still a little skeptical of his surroundings. He does look young, but hopefully that is in his favor to get his leg repaired & other body injuries healed quickly. I think he'll be an excellent adoption candidate as he looks so sweet & calm. What a good boy he is!❤️

Schmitt concocts an elaborate conspiracy all based on the premise that Smith must’ve been in ATL on a certain date because he was at a “Hawks” game that day but it wasn’t the Atlanta Hawks it was the Iowa Hawkeyes. His big gotcha moment made him look like a complete fool. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Holy sh*t. Sen Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of going to an Atlanta Hawks bball game with the implication that he must of also met with then prosecutor Fani Willis BUT Smith went to an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland instead. This GOP clown show is a disgrace.

Oh thank goodness you got him into the hospital. He seems in shock and defeated but hopefully he’s feeling a bit better now that his leg is stable and he’s getting care. His eyes are haunting, so I hope he can rest easy now and decompress. He’ll see the routines around him and kind people helping. ❤️

That’s the Mr Big we are hoping to see again, after he’s back from the big hospital. He’s a big gregarious goof & loves running around w joy but he needs major attention in terms of figuring out what’s going on w his body. Fingers crossed he gets diagnosed & treated successfully as he’s a good boy.❤️
