Some time ago, I was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, Alport Syndrome, that is incurable and is causing my kidneys to fail. I need a kidney transplant, and I am searching for someone who might be able and willing to donate a kidney to me.

A new investigation revealed that school districts and local governments are reportedly overpaying for supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing.
Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

To stay home when sick.
To wash their hands.
Very few are recommending masks. When we had mask mandates we eliminated an entire flu strain.

Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.

Please note that oil and gas are allowed to claim the 45Q tax credit without any verification that they actually captured the CO2 they said they did — and certainly without having to sequester the carbon 🤡
UPDATE: 3 things I learned today
1) Political leaders haven’t thought much about the health threats of CO2 capture and storage. Eg CO2 pipelines have kill zones. Leaks can acidify aquifers and mobilize heavy metals.
2) 45Q tax credits for CCS are now by far the biggest subsidy to oil and gas

Here at the US Capitol to talk with some senators about the risks and harms of carbon capture and storage, which is mostly used to extract more oil from ground, enjoys taxpayer subsidies, is prone to escape, threatens drinking water and public health, and is generally scammy.

The right’s preferred gender ideology—one of male supremacy, women’s exclusion from dignity, citizenship, and vast spheres of public life, and an enforced heterosexuality of eroticized domination—is much more prescriptive, aggressive, and ubiquitously pushed than anything coming from trans people.
Conservatives have their own "gender ideology" they are pushing constantly, and it's one that's built on coercion and treating women like property.

Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people.
