THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Prices are rising. Unemployment is going up. The cost of living is soaring.

And what’s Trump focused on? Providing a $20 billion bailout to his authoritarian buddy in Argentina.

What a disgrace.

The Argentina bailout is all about propping up a Trump ally | CNN Business

The White House is negotiating a financial lifeline for Argentina, seeking to stabilize its currency and prevent a broader economic fallout.

Endometriosis research has been chronically underfunded even though it affects a large population of women and can be detrimental to those with it.

So let's spend the little funding it gets to study how hard it is on the men.

Understanding endometriosis underfunding and its detrimental impact on awareness and research

Endometriosis affects approximately 190 million women globally. Many individuals with endometriosis face complex journeys through the healthcare system, set against a backdrop of historically underfunded research into women's health. This study investigates the funding allocated to endometriosis up to 2023 by analysing the top 100 granting foundations in Denmark and comparing it to diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease, with similar prevalence and impact. We found that endometriosis remains significantly underfunded.

Confirmation that Trump will be signing an executive order designating "antifa"—i.e., opposition to fascism—as "a domestic terrorist organization."

What this will mean concretely has yet to be seen. For now, read this guide to preparing communities to endure repression:

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana!

This is why I will always be proud to be a Democrat. It doesn’t mean I agree with everyone all the time or they always get it right. It means that I think they are our best option. Only ones to mention Hispanic Heritage Month. 💙

As Hispanic Heritage Month begins, we recognize and celebrate the rich history, vibrant culture, and significant contributions of the Latino community to the story of America.

A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired.

This week’s shoutout goes to Senator Maria Cantwell for not only calling it like it is to the dangerously unqualified “Secretary of Health & Human Services” but for having the data to back it up.

Facts are facts & evidence supports vaccines are needed & work & that RFK Jr. is a charlatan!

RFK Jr. is a charlatan. He is undermining the whole health care delivery system and taking away the science and technology that has saved millions of lives.
