CPA and spreadsheet nerd. I also hold to the controversial belief that all humans have inherent dignity and should be treated equitably.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

I'm now waiting for Alec to put out a video on my crackpot idea of running steam humidifiers in conjunction with dehumidifiers to exceed the 100% heating efficiency of a resistive space heater. Can you do another experiment this winter?

Congressional Democrats need to be seizing the moment to put forward strong legislation on prescription drug pricing. Can we also get one of Trump’s fat billionaire friends to comment on the (lack of) cost of health insurance in other countries?

A lot of people are on to ethanol, but what's often missed is that we are using more than another 25M acres for soy biodiesel.

Meiselas: The public pressure was mounting. A 9-0 decision by the Supreme Court. Your voice matters. Senator Van Hollen showing up matters. The Trump regime can mock and post all the memes they want, but at the end of the day, the right result is finally starting to happen.

Reminder that the “evidence” given that he was a gang member was that he was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and hoodie. This was never established in court and has been consistently denied under oath by Abrego Garcia and everyone in his circle. This unverified falsehood is a heinous and evil lie.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.
Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

You know how we could know if he was a terrorist? If there was a trial in front of a judge, where evidence had to be presented to prove it. You know, like, what the Constitution requires.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning

As the global economy burned over the weekend, Trump continued his longstanding pattern of funneling taxpayer money into his own pocket. Ignoring the crisis he is causing, he was busy cheating at golf at his own resort.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.
