When all the other time travelers are busy killing Hitler, I’m gonna have a 2 hour conversation with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

Their lawyers: the brothers were “playboys” and “womanizers”--not criminals. The dozens of accusers=scorned women, motivated by shame, regret, greed. Their incomplete recollections were due not to drugs slipped to them by the brothers, but to their own voluntary consumption of alcohol and narcotics.

Alexander Brothers Found Guilty of All Counts in Sex-Trafficking Trial

I don't even know what to say. From the headshots, any woman can FEEL the weight of these men, figuratively AND literally. Is there a one among us who has not been unwillingly pinned and kissed (+ more)? The paragraph about the defense lawyers' argument? Gross. Gift: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Glad some spoke up against this idea. Maybe let’s celebrate in ways that don’t involve objectifying women for men’s pleasure? Maybe offer women less expensive tickets to make up for the fact that women make 77 cents to each dollar a man makes?

good-but is he still making money off of the agency?

As a Japanese American, this type of language was used during and after WWII to harm Japanese Americans in the US--thank you, @murray.senate.gov for standing up for people's rights and reminding everyone what's in the U.S. Constitution. Sad that Representative Ogles has forgotten.

John Roberts is a bad man.

How Congress can restore the independence of US science Members must go beyond reinstating US government research spending and re-establish decentralized governance at the National Institutes of Health and other agencies.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Congrats--I'd love to be better able to connect science communications people here.

Wait, but RFK Jr & Drs Bhattacharya, Makary, Oz, Prasad, & Høeg kept saying that they would “rebuild trust.”

They won’t like this survey showing that:

“The public is differentiating the trustworthiness of career scientists in the CDC, NIH, and FDA from that of the leaders of those agencies.”

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

Horrible news.

Our public health infrastructure is not in a good spot…🤦🏻‍♂️

Inflation Is Down, But Americans Still Feel an Affordability Squeeze While inflation has slowed overall, the costs of things Americans often want or need most continue to rise.

Feel as if everything is more expensive since 2020? You're correct. Yes, wages have gone up on avg 30% since 2020, but costs have surpassed that rate. As a freelancer who has to pay for health insurance, I'm feeling the squeeze. #Bloomberg article w great visuals. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

I don't know this person, but I can spare $20...let's help however we feel comfortable. Check out StandWithMinnesota.com for a list of ways to help! #Minneapolis

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Vance says Minnesota’s Medicaid funds halted as part of Trump’s ‘war on fraud’ Vice-president makes announcement with Mehmet Oz, who says other states will be next after Minnesota

Let’s be clear: the Trump administration isn’t “pausing” funds to fight fraud. They’re weaponizing Medicaid to punish a state that rejects their extremism. They’d rather see a child lose coverage than see a Democratic governor succeed.

When I was in high school I made watching the State of the Union a big event— to stay up-to-date (pre-internet), do my civic duty, ensure I had no friends among my peers, etc.

Can’t remember the last time I watched it, but hooo boy y’all’s posts make me glad it wasn’t tonight, would prefer the bees
