41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

ACIP member Evelyn Griffin demonstrates the void in her public health knowledge by blaming a lack of prenatal care for HBV cases in the U.S.
A quarter of Americans don’t get prenatal care in the first trimester of pregnancy due to lack of healthcare access.

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

This is a reminder that UFOs are a social phenomenon based around people misunderstanding what they see.
And it is a mistake for astronomers and other scientists to pretend otherwise.

Kelly: “I was notified of a potential court-martial through a tweet by the Secretary of Defense…I think that says a lot about who Pete Hegseth is and what he cares about. He doesn't care about the law…He doesn't care about accountability. He cares about views on his Twitter account.”

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
