Thanks to Trump's attacks on federal research funding, the National Cancer Institute hasn't made a single grant this fiscal year.
Just last month, Trump issued an EO to increase production of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer.
"Make America Healthy Again."
Winter will be back next week.
There is no demand for Sharia law anywhere in America and never has been. Christian extremists, of which Mike Johnson is one, want to take over the entire country.

A weather map showing local temperatures for Northeaster Illinois and Northwestern Indiana. There's a sharp change from warm temperatures in the high 70s/low 80s to temperatures in the low 40s.
Look at this temperature gradient!
BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
Ask Congress: why are flags not flying at half mast like they were for Charlie Kirk?

Hey I wonder if one could apply this point to the discourse surrounding robotaxis and conclude, perhaps, that robotaxis would entrench car dependency in such a way that — even if they are individually "safer than a human driver" — prolongs the deathtrap state of our built environment...

This is their ongoing lie to grease the skids and push the Save Act across the line.
It is one of the methods Republicans are using to stay in power forever.
We all already have picture ID to produce upon request.
Voter fraud is 0.00000013%. Nonexistent.
The Act disenfranchises millions!
As soon as they pass this “SAVE ACT”, they will reduce the number of offices you can get birth certificates and passports from in big cities and Black and brown neighborhoods & towns. And when you get there, there will be long lines. Like they did with DMVs in red states.
We know the game plan.
F-ck we are here-a dictatorship. We need to VOTE in masses for Democracy. I choose Democrats across the board. I choose to outlaw AIPAC. Keep Israel out of our Elections!
They made sure drivers licenses were not acceptable forms of ID after bullying states into Real ID
This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”
👍👍👍👍🥊
At ~$1 billion/day, the US has spent as much on the war in Iran in ten days as the entire FY25 budget for the National Science Foundation ($10 billion).
Trump's FY26 budget request for the agency declined to $3.9 billion, due to a "realignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment."
Of course.
I don't care what Trump says, if you think the war is "over" you're even dumber than Markwayne Mullin
:(
#bikechi friends - there's severe weather in the forecast for this afternoon into tonight, including thunderstorms and potential for large hail. Take care and stay safe.
Brandis Friedman did a great job of moderating.
U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi said the war was “illegal and unconstitutional,” and called for President Donald Trump to release oil from the nation’s strategic reserves to bring down the price of a gallon of gasoline, which jumped 46 cents in the past week, according to AAA.
Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton and U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly vowed Monday to vote against any more funding for the war launched by President Trump against Iran in the last debate in the Democratic primary to replace U.S. Sen. Durbin.

NEW: Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton and U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly vowed Monday to vote against any additional funding for the war launched by President Trump against Iran in the last debate in the intense Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, hosted by @wttw.bsky.social.
U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi did not.
When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
#Illinois friends - please consider this if you still need to #vote.
Rhymes with "If you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression"
