Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years away called ‘K2-18b.’

While they have not declared the finding of life, they detected “potential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms like marine algae.

I have a friend that guarded Saddam Hussein after his capture. He said he was quite nice and friendly.

Reminds me of Bill Mahers meeting with Trump.

Being nice doesn’t mean you aren’t a bad bad man

Musk’s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system.

Treasury stays silent.

White House stays silent.

Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.

The Washington Post calls January 6 and the events leading up to it "election-reversal efforts." It has gotten Orwellian over there.

I will say again, support independent, pro-democracy media.

Throughout now-president Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, it was clear that his support was coming from three very different factions whose only shared ideology was a determination to destroy the federal government. Now we are watching them do it.

We are literally under attack.

We are experiencing the fight or flight response, a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival.

Practice self-care: breathe, meditate, rest, have a good cry.

Then FIGHT 🔥🔥

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

Trump just wasted millions of gallons of water (it was literally dumped into an arid lakebed where it will evaporate) because he doesn't understand basic science or firefighting methods.

When our water (and food) prices shoot up later this year, you can thank Trump.
