Kash gets emotional describing how he and his girlfriend deal with people on social media who criticize their relationship, but he says those people are just envious of the fact that they are both thriving and so successful.

For years, this dude has believed that stealth planes are literally invisible.
Trump: "The only time anybody could see those planes was when those bomb chutes open up, because it becomes totally un-stealth. You're going in, you go like this. As soon as it goes like this, for some reason the plane is totally visible. Not good. I watched it happening. I watched it go bing bing"

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Okeeeee, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) just said nobody is allowed to say in this hearing that Republicans never offered an alternative to the Affordable Care Act.
"I will gavel them down." 😂

McGovern notes that 88% (!) of ACA growth has happened in states that Trump won.
"Now, through inaction, you are betraying your own constituents and voting to hurt the people who voted for you," he tells Republicans.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Speaking of Jane Goodall, my favorite quote by her:
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

I love that Rick Scott is on CNN talking about all the waste and deception in the health care/insurance business. He really is an expert since his company paid a record $1.7 billion in fines for Medicare fraud.

'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

Nothing more than perceived wealth that doesn’t exist for the purposes of taxes, but magically does for the purposes of leverage. Meanwhile, the rest of us pay real taxes on low wages and can’t leverage shit. The game is rigged. Tax the rich.
