The package is listed inside Platform One’s Iron Bank, a vetted Defense Department software repository, people familiar say.

Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times.

And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Sen Patty Murray (D-WA):

“If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

It pisses me off that gay people are hated mostly because of some poorly translated ancient outdated book full of other bullshit idiots base their entire lives on. Religion is a curse, man.

There many methods to effectively approximate crowd sizes. The only reason to massively downplay numbers protesting is political. It's also a bit of disingenuous gaslighting. The people who are participating can tell the difference between 10,000 and 100,000. #auspol

Denmark has cut taxes on books as part of a plan to improve reading levels.

Australia could look at cutting GST on books - something industry proposed to the Howard government all those years ago.

Denmark scraps book tax to combat "reading crisis"

The government hopes abolishing the sales tax will encourage more people to buy books.

White folks who are still clinging to narrow, outdated thinking; you are fossils in today’s political climate. In a world that’s becoming more Black, more Brown, more multicultural by the hour, your way of thinking is dead and buried, even if you don’t realize it yet. 👇🏾
