@driscoll1142@RobinMelz@David_J_Bier Fauci has proven to be a fairly typical public health professional in a demanding leadership role when a completely new, very dangerous pathogen arises, but far too susceptible to fame’s wiles to keep from rhapsodies of egocentric awe he surely would’ve toned down for his memoir.
@driscoll1142@RobinMelz@David_J_Bier I don’t think you were ever a juror. No one who was would ever say they “prosecuted” a crime—that’s the prosecutor’s job, as a few episodes of certain TV shows would teach—unless, I guess, you went into the case with a strong bias against the defendant. In that case, 1/2
It was Lake Ontario before Ontario was a province.
It was Lake Ontario before Canada was a country.
It was lake Ontario before the United States was a country.
The name doesn't change because of a temperamental diaper-wearing geriatric orange with a sharpie.
It would be wildly refreshing if @CNN or other networks said this ON AIR.
"80% of those arrested for smuggling fentanyl at US ports of entry are US citizens"
Horrific statements from Hasan Piker today in the New York Times comparing Israeli actions to Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, and the Holocaust that’ll surely be covered by CNN and condemned by every Democratic leader
Oh wait they’re from Israeli generals and officials
Listen to the words of retired Israeli generals speaking out against Israeli settlers terrorizing Palestinians in the West Bank.
“This is ethnic cleansing."
“Once a society behaves this way, that society is doomed.”
Not another nickel for the extremist Netanyahu government.
It’s almost as if higher marginal tax rates funding robust infrastructure, education, and public services is good for business and wealth generation. Almost like trickle-down never worked and is just a myth the rich sold us so we wouldn’t tax them.
Anonymous megadonors have spent over $1 billion to buy the 2026 election.
Elon Musk has spent over $90 million.
Billionaires buying elections is not democracy—it's oligarchy.
ENOUGH.
We need to end Citizens United, get super PACs out of primaries & publicly fund elections.
They Let a Tenant Build a Ballroom on Your Land
Imagine you let a tenant stay in your house for four years.
He tears it down and builds a ballroom on your land.
That is what just happened to the People's House.
A president is a temporary tenant. He demolished a wing of a house that is not his and started building a ballroom anyway. Two courts said stop. Five justices said no.
You would not let a renter do that to your home.
The Supreme Court let him do it to yours — and you're paying for it.
17 years. That’s how long it’s been since the national minimum wage was increased in the United States. No member of Congress could live on $7.25 an hour, and they know it.
It’s why I’m a co-sponsor of the Raise the Wage Act and will continue to fight for its passage so that the minimum wage is a livable wage.
Trump launches more strikes while Congress tells him to stop, because apparently “America First” means Americans get war whether they fucking voted for it or not.
NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom.
GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.
executioner 4 a Black man poss trying to steal a🚙.(Cops often mis-ID things they👀; MPD’s outright lied B4.) If Corey Ruiz had a knife, why no “Drop the knife!”? Why no “I’ve been stabbed!”? Why not “mentally ill” instead of “evil”? He wasn’t even near them when he was killed!🛑
A cop does say “He’s got a knife”, then another “Taser, taser, taser”, indicating she saw the spindly Corey Ruiz surrounded by 4 cops & knew a taser would be enough. MPD claimed it didn’t work; here it seems very much to have worked. But one cop chose to be judge, jury, and 1/
The cops yell taser, taser, taser then shot him with a gun? 🤔🤨 BTW, it was a black man they shot.
