Chants of "lock him up!" ring out about Elon Musk at Democratic Musk protest in DC
Is that what he meant by “you know what”?
Why is every single video I see sooo vague? He never gives solid points? What the hell is he even talking about (ever)?
Warnock: "Donald Trump said he was going to allow Mr. Robert Kennedy to 'go wild' on health. 'Go wild.' Of all the things that I can think of that I'd like to see a secretary of health and human services do, 'go wild' is not on the list."
I’m new to this, how do I get my cat pics to show up on this feed!?
First (maybe last? We'll see how it goes) post, may as well try and push our new paper in JBRIT describing a novel species of sunflower endemic to the Cape Fear Arch region of North and South Carolina. Meet Helianthus waccamawensis:
