This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Trump sharing "prophecies" about himself could mean he believes he's on a mission from God, or that he wants to rally supporters as his popularity drops. Either way, it seems like a power play to portray his opponents as enemies of God. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Another NDP floor crosser and I hope she didn't trip over and Tories making the same trip. #Carney really has forged a reactionary consensus within the Canadian political establishment and the prospects for any serious parliamentary challenge are bleak.

#Carney's agenda of #austerity funded #militarism races forward.
