My spouse has Estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. She knew not to take hormone replacement therapy for menopause. The warnings are necessary.

Trump wants health insurance premiums to spike right after he allowed medical debt to adversely affect people’s credit ratings, while rolling out 50 year mortgages.
But he loves you, MAGA. That’s why he’s building that ballroom for you.

Impressive that Altman built a company that relies on fraud, puffery, and deception even more than Tesla seems to!
“.. if anything, [OpenAI’s] endless barrage of statements, interviews, and communications .. is starting to become counterproductive (anyone, whether it’s a company or politician, that insists on saturating media cycles .. usually isn’t doing so from a place of confidence).”

In the current situation, as tiring as it gets, we must continue to organize consistently and not stop ever.
Mamdani got 1,036,051 votes and had 108,000 volunteers. One out of ten people who voted for him also built the campaign. Amazing.
All of us olds live in constant PTSD about Obama's campaign purposefully unwinding its volunteer army in 2009.
Good news: Mamdani's team says it's doing the opposite.

Have you read the 15th amendment to the US Constitution ?
Ratified in 1870, the Fifteenth Amendment is short, a mere fifty words including the section headings, but written with a large intended effect. https://bit.ly/4npLAaj

The brevity of the Fifteenth Amendment of the US Constitution belies its impact on American voting rights.

The Trump USDA against people getting food.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
