Sometimes, the Moon passes directly in front of the beautiful Pleiades star cluster in a celestial event called an occultation! This composite image from Spain captures the Moon's visit. These monthly occultations last until 2029, then not again until 2042!

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

Trump and Vance — elected by MAGA voters, and supported by spineless Republican members of Congress — are both shamelessly subservient to their Kremlin master.

When Trump took office, the NLRB had 24 separate investigations into Musk’s corporations for violating workers’ rights.
But presto...Trump fired three officials at that agency, effectively stalling the board's ability to rule on cases.
See how this works?

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced.
Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked.
So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?
