Among the many reasons we need competent PH officials: a listeria outbreak has killed 4.

Now officials think 2 additional ready-to-eat meals contain contaminated spinach, but are not related to the ongoing outbreak.

Translation: competing listeria outbreaks.

Could they vote? If so, did they vote? If so, who did they vote for?

If the answers aren't yes (for those that could), yes, Harris, I don't give a single holy fuck what happens to them. Genuinely.

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

The fact of the matter is that the American economy needs air travel to be running at peak efficiency (such as it is), delays that are happening now are already damaging corporate America's bottom line and it will only get worse

It is scandalous that every big NYPD chief happens to be "disabled" when they retire.

"Tax free 3/4 of his salery life time benefits... because of an ankle injury he received on Randall's Island while on duty last year."

Bullshit. This is corruption.

Bees are small miracles – without them, there would be hardly any life on our planet. They pollinate over 80% of all plants, secure our food supply, and maintain the natural balance. When we protect bees, we protect ourselves – because their buzzing is the heartbeat of nature.
