Trump and DOGE are making devastating cuts to agencies and programs that serve the public — all in the name of rooting out "fraud and waste."
Meanwhile, the regime is reportedly planning a military parade for Trump's birthday that could cost an estimated $92 million.

1992….my first year as a teacher. My first class of bilingual 1st graders! It’s hard to believe I have just 20 more days until I officially retire! It’s been a ride!

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.
Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!
NO.
Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.
PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.
This is also about autism.

Republicans are actually lowering the age limit to buy guns to 18, even though 18 to 20-year-olds are FOUR TIMES more likely to commit gun homicides. This is craven.

The 2 planes Judge Boasberg ordered back, plus a third plane that took off AFTER Boasberg’s order, never returned to the U.S. in apparent defiance of the court order.
UPDATE: The same Airbus 320 GlobalX charter aircraft—that left TX after Judge Boasberg issued his restraining order—continued on to El Salvador late Saturday.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.
The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.
Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Why read past headlines: There's been a lot of coverage of how Musk built his wealth on government loans and contracts.
I go beyond that and demonstrate how he made his fortune on other people's research — and it all originates with federal funding.

Elon Musk built his wealth from taxpayer-funded research — now he's trying to destroy future science
The billionaire should be writing a thank you note to Al Gore, not wrecking burgeoning developments
