Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.
Isn't it great that Trump, an Adderall addict with the IQ of a Q-tip and Pete Hegseth, a drunk former Fox News TV Co-host are endangering the lives of not just US troops, but all the troops serving in the Middle East?

Boosting this. It would be helpful for all of us in software if Ed is able to collect this information.
There needs to be a class action suit against RFK, Jr., NIH, and Donald Trump for endangering the lives of Americans with their kooky, unscientific negligence.
THREAD 🧵 The latest batch of Epstein Files are disgusting and shocking. We wanted to give the public an understanding of the most important takeaways.
🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

The whole world isn't just watching
They may be participating

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.
As we say goodnight, a reminder that from lifesaving research to community care, Black innovators have shaped public health at every turn.

Happy Black History Month!

This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP
