I’m going to assume from this point forward that absent overwhelming evidence to the contrary all elected officials are pathological narcissistic satanic anti human demons.

@SenJohnBarrasso You’re on vacation more than you “work” why would anyone believe you

Two American bioethicists have published a paper arguing that a tick which makes people allergic to red meat ought to be helped to spread.

It appeared in the journal Bioethics in July 2025 under the title Beneficial Bloodsucking. The authors are Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth of the medical school at Western Michigan University.

The tick is the lone star tick. Its bite can leave you with alpha-gal syndrome, after which beef, lamb and pork bring on hives, vomiting and, in the bad cases, a closing throat, usually some hours after dinner and often in the middle of the night. Milk can do it too. So can the gelatine in a tablet. The CDC thinks as many as 450,000 Americans have it, and last year doctors reported the first confirmed death, a man in New Jersey who had eaten a hamburger.

The paper looks at all that and sees a teaching aid. If eating meat is wrong, it reasons, then spreading the syndrome is "strongly pro tanto obligatory", and it notes that editing ticks for the purpose is already feasible.

Dr Crutchfield has form. In 2019 he argued that making the public more moral by medical means should be done covertly.

Asked about the tick, he said it was a thought experiment, and that he is not himself a vegetarian.

It passed peer review. The tick was not consulted, but is understood to be willing.

@SenLummis Your legacy is fading into OBSCURITY. Enjoy being forgotten

I’ve been saying this for years, nay, decades.

Many poorly informed Wyomingites already cannot name you as their Senator, and soon many many more will be unable to recall your name.

If you did your Constitutional duty by ending the Fed and establishing a currency backed by gold, crypto wouldn’t exist. And bonus, Fedgov’s ability to endlessly borrow would be crippled. But you’re part of the problem, so it’s good to see you retire into obscurity.

@SamaHoole This has to be made up. It sounds absurd. The wackiest thing I’ve read in weeks

[Okie_Rancher @Okie_Rancher]

If you allow government officials and politicians to start a war outside of Constitutional boundaries without accountability, they can also take your guns, your land, and your freedom, without accountability.

The trouble with supporting government actors who exceed their Constitutional authority based on their popularity is that the only protection you, the individual citizen, has against government action is the Constitution.

Our country is not founded on presuming the "goodwill" of elected or appointed officials. Our country is founded upon rules and limitations of authority designed to preserve the freedoms of individual citizens.

@SenJohnBarrasso You’re a stupid fucktard

“The American people's priorities are going to be our priorities.”

🤣😂

Why start now?

[Sen. John Barrasso @SenJohnBarrasso]

Republicans are going to stand strong, united, and energized. We will never apologize for our conservative convictions. The American people's priorities are going to be our priorities.

[Lone Skum 🇺🇸 @IntrepidZef]

@daily_cowboy And people believe that?

@EricLDaugh "After what happened on Tuesday, why would they think that what they're doing currently is ACCEPTABLE to the voters?”

That’s asking the wrong question. They don’t think that what they’re doing is acceptable to the voters. The question to ask is “What must be done?”

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

In 2007, when the Fed said the problems in subprime were contained, I explained why they were wrong. In 2021, when the Fed claimed that rising inflation was transitory, I again explained why they were wrong. I've called out all the Fed's policy mistakes in real time. The big mistake they are making now is underestimating the power of the inflationary forces they have already set in motion and overestimating the ability of a few quarter-point rate hikes to undo the damage.

[Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis]

Democrats wanted to stop crypto issuers from signing away their obligations in fine print just to dodge securities laws. The Clarity Act shuts that down.

Democrats voted to leave the fine-print loopholes wide open.

@Oilfield_Rando You must be the safe one. It’s not random
