Trump is really going out of his way to distract everyone from the Epstein files. Not sure why he is riling his base like this though.

Remember when Biden promised no more hidden fees on your internet bill? Looks like Trump is killing that, too.

"Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr says Internet service providers shouldn't have to list every fee they charge." arstechnica.com/tech-policy/... #TheRichGetRicher

ISPs created so many fees that FCC will kill requirement to list them all

ISPs complained about Biden-era rule, said listing every fee was too hard.

Kid Rock never adulted. His bad music, misogynistic, racist, and homophobic comments are a complete turnoff. Hard to believe he is worth $150 million peddling that garbage. We reward the wrong people.

How soon before they start lopping decimal points off the value of our currency? We are becoming poorer before our eyes.

Was it degenerative, or did it happen from a fall? Getting your mobility back has a huge impact on the quality of life.

My Grandmother fell at Narita airport and broke her hip. She hid the pain so we wouldn't miss our flight, but she never fully recovered to walk again. So mad I didn't insist.

When did this happen? Felt like you were missing in my timeline. Wishing you a full recovery Dani.

We really need a TSA program that is free and available to all travelers to get a biometric scan and background check to speed up the process.

Habitat loss is bad, climate change is bad, the loss of insects is bad, and pollution is harmful. Birds are having a rough go of it, and we humans are primarily to blame. #Extinction

Cornell Superstar Pasha Galashin uses #Origami to solve complex problems. His latest is a huge breakthrough in simplifying complexity. All the more reason why Trump shouldn't be witholding the taxpayers' money to US schools that produce breakthroughs. www.quantamagazine.org/origami-patt... #Cornell

Administration officials pile lie upon lie upon lie. When a president and his aides are doing that, it’s no longer America.

When masked government thugs take potshots at a priest, it’s no longer America.

Sometimes you have to use fire to fight fire. We've removed fascism before, and at the rate things are going, we'll likely need to do it again.

Truly heartbreaking. When in doubt, ask a black woman for the truth. They saw this coming from a million miles away. Women's rights are universal.

Love this. Remind them of their shared humanity that we are all called to share this world.
