lol when asked by multiple reporters what will happen if we find out that Governor Lisa Cook lied. My response has always been: "We won't."

I'm EXTREMELY glad to know that I was right about a woman who is upstanding in every sense, and I'm SAT for the lawsuit era.
“.. The document appears to counter other documentation that Cook’s critics have cited in support of their claims that she committed mortgage fraud ..”

"It's okay to be hypocritical slur users if it attracts people to our side"

Uhhhh why would we want to side with slur users? Sounds like we're siding with the fascists then and I want to be, you know, against fascists

To access federal gov’t data, you need a security clearance/background check and an oath to protect the data to death, even if you leave federal service. Why? Because we have laws: Title 5 (protects personnel data), Title 13 (protects Census data), Title 26 (protects IRS data) to name a few.

I am hearing that PEPFAR programs are still being stalled, and medication appointments cancelled, despite a waiver in place to allow life-saving programs to continue. Thus,

Will repeat this forever, but if there's a US foreign policy program that deserves unambiguous support from a global health/humanitarian/economic/political/every angle you can think of perspective, it's PEPFAR. Sharing the economists letter of support here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #Econsky
