People without underlying health conditions typically receive annual physicals, not semi-annually. That they're admitting to 2x per year means there's likely more "monitoring".

Oh my God, shut up! You have no idea what you’re talking about. Nobody gives a rats ass what you suspect unless you have a pair of ovaries to back up your suspicions.

Mansplainers with stupid guesses are the worst.🙄

This is not a “neat” question. STFU

Sister Jean was a role model in Illinois — inspiring us to embrace our neighbors.

As a lover of life, she taught us to channel positivity to keep us hopeful in times of need and kept that attitude all the way to a life well-lived at 106 years old.

May her memory be a blessing.

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

www.rickscott.senate.gov/services/fil...

Part of a letter sent by a bunch of GOP members of Congress in favor of granting Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won today.

The last three paragraphs, before Rick Scott and Marco Rubio's signature, reads:

The Maduro regime's abuses and assaults on the civil society and legitimate
political activity of Venezuelan citizens have caused millions to flee to other countries,
while millions more have had no choice but to remain in the prison Maduro has
imposed on them. The peace of the region has been greatly disturbed by Maduro’s
welcoming of some of the world’s worst actors, including terrorists and dictators who
support him.
It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado’s courageous and selfless
leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals,
make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only
highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and
expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual
bravery in the quest for justice.

Telling Black people we’ll be “next” if we don’t join whatever half-cocked movement you’ve cooked up this week, only reveals how much YOU don’t understand that we are PERPETUALLY on the firing line of white supremacy.

😂😂😂 so true. I read Lucky Loser a couple weeks ago which explained his hatred of Pritzker, too. He partnered with Hyatt when he first got started in the casino biz, and the only reason that first venture was successful was because of the Pritzker family and the Hyatt model. They hate his ass back 😂

He isn't the Speaker of the House, Daniel. He's the minority leader. Because 74% of whites enabled the GOP and Project 2025 and refused to return majority control to the Democrats.

Don't speak to Black women in this tone again.

I just hate the logic that politicians who don't even know someone's family are more responsible for "messaging" than the people screaming about "messaging" who break bread with them.

White people have no idea how to build a movement against white supremacy, because it is us.

I’ve had Snyder in my newsfeed but his posts are too often galling and obnoxious. White men don’t have the answers, and they don’t even appear to have the questions. Updating my feed.

There is no point in asking a rhetorical question like this, that does not appear to be directed at the people who want the country to be precisely like this. Because frankly, be honest with yourself: this is precisely what Trump voters wanted and non-voters did not care to stop.

Considering this was going to supply more than three times the energy of Hoover Dam to southern Nevada, I have to ask myself why does Trump hate Las Vegas?

Buckle up, tourism.

Costa Samaras @costasamaras.com · 11h

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Republicans are kicking children, veterans, and seniors off of their health insurance — to give tax cuts to billionaires.

How can they look themselves in the mirror?
