Stop calling the $1.8 billion an “anti-weaponization fund.” Call it what it is: A bribe to proven domestic terrorists to strike again if needed.

The handcrafted leather boots are a century-old tradition – but with money tight, the cost of up to $800 is harder to justify

These boots are the safest for US wildland firefighters. Fewer and fewer can afford them

Taylor Farms' parent company has given $2.2M to GOP PACs this election cycle. That includes $1M to Trump's own PAC, just 6 days after the FDA delayed new food tracing requirements last year. Money in politics is sickening.

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 13 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/VGfwO
Graphic from Stand Up for Science urging action on a federal funding proposal. Large text reads: "13 Days Left" and "Help Us Stop Vought From Destroying American Science." A portrait of Russell Vought appears beside the U.S. Capitol. A banner along the bottom reads: "Submit a comment on the OMB proposal | Link in bio to take action." The Stand Up for Science logo appears in the top left.

Actually I think this administration is doing far more damage to governmental infrastructure than has been done before. I am not complacent about that.

I don't consider that a minor nit. There are many factors that are real and not easily quantified that don't get considered enough.

Women aren't supposed to lie on their backs to give birth -- it makes everything more difficult. Why is that standard procedure? If I told you men were to blame ...
bbc.com
Women were never meant to give birth on their backs
It's usually more dangerous for women to give birth lying down, so why do they? It's all because of a Frenchman who decided it was more convenient – for men.

I’m annoyed that it’s obvious we’re in phase 1 of this 3-step cycle 1. Republican president tanks economy and gets us involved in a forever war. 2. Democratic president fixes the economy. 3. People get impatient about things not being as good as they used to be so they vote Republican.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
