Too little too late. It was already obvious to *civilians* that we were going to war WEEKS AGO. I would hope you were informed enough to know too. I didn’t hear a peep from you and Schumer until we already opened Pandora’s Box. Can’t wait for the primaries.

If Jeffries was really against the war in Iran he would have said something weeks ago when we started moving 1/3 of our air craft carriers into Iran’s proximity. Unless he really is that ignorant, and then we have other problems.

In magnitude? Sure, you are right, Trump is incomparably worse. But do we have to glorify the Clintons? Bubba is for sure a creep, and for sure was hanging out with Epstein wayyyy too much for comfort. And then theres the involvement of Ghislaine in the Clinton Global Initiative.

Why are we still defending the Clintons? I would hope we have a nuanced enough understanding of the world to condemn both Trump and Bubba.

We will force a vote on Rep. Thomas Massie and my bipartisan resolution to stop Trump from launching an illegal war in Iran next week. This perhaps will be the most consequential vote in Congress on war or peace since the Iraq war vote in 2002.

Chuck… Lifetime Democratic voter here, and a constituent who has voted to put you in office multiple times. If you rubberstamp this impending war in Iran, I will be done with you and the party, and I will be staying out of any elections going forward. We don’t need an Iraq repeat!!!

I grew up on Long Island and had never heard of it. I was genuinely surprised to find out it’s common knowledge as well. Maybe that reveals my ignorance, but hey, we can’t all be experts in everything.

A small polymerase ribozyme that can synthesize itself and its complementary strand The emergence of a chemical system capable of self-replication and evolution is a critical event in the origin of life. RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but their large size and structural ...

How could a simple self-replicating system emerge at the origins of life? RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but existing ones are so large that their self-replication seems impossible. Could they be smaller?

Excited to share our latest work in @science.org on a new small polymerase.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

TEXAS β€” A father shoots and kills his British daughter LUCY HARRISON who was visiting… after arguing about Trump’s sexual assault allegations… and no charges?

Because he says he was just showing her his gun and it went off? πŸ€” local12.com/news/nation-...

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.
