Many of you have been tracking the Irkutsk lab situation over the last few days.

I've been gathering facts and trying to understand what is happening before weighing in.

Now that I have, I have to say — I'm concerned

Hey MAGAs, the offer still stands, if you pay me $2000 now I will give you my $5000 Trump check when it arrives. You can't beat that deal

[John Lawler @JohnSLawler]

@mooseincrisis Maybe, unless you can collect royalties for usage.

[Liam Nissan™ @theliamnissan]

LOL hey @grok, please list the names of the people Donald Trump has already pardoned for Medicare and Medicaid fraud, and include how much money was involved. Be concise.

NEVER FORGET
On January 6,
2021, six men dragged this officer down the Capitol steps.
He heard one scream, "I got one!" before the others ripped off his badge, stripped him of his radio, and seized his ammunition that was secured to my body.
They beat him with their fists and what felt like hard metal objects.
He heard chanting from some in the crowd - "Get his gun!" and "Kill him with his own gun!"
This officer suffered a heart attack and a traumatic brain injury.
Trump pardoned those six men.

New reports reveal Meta has been classifying gigantic data centers as "pilot models" in order to secure a tax credit from the 1980s.

The loophole has allowed Meta to avoid paying nearly $4,000,000,000 in taxes last year alone.

I still think it’s crazy that he didn’t go to jail for this.

[DulceBiatch @BiatchDulce]

FACT: The Trump Organization filed for trademark protection of "Trump TV" so that the government would have to PAY him to use the channel he just created.
Miraculously, Trump has found yet another way to steal from the American people.

"We the People" hold the power to choosing the direction we wish to follow into the future with something so simple as our vote.

[John Lawler @JohnSLawler]

This is a fine story.

[Sam Weller @Sam__Weller]

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it late at nigh, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic.

10 years ago, David Levin went to jail for launching a cyberattack on Florida’s election database.

It appears that the Trump Administration just hired him to monitor elections.

I want to know why.

I don’t give a shit if the polls say Democrats are winning by a landslide. Your ass better still get out and vote!

One of the great FM DJ’s of my youth. Fond memories of her sultry voice and the excellent musics.

September 27th➦In 1995...Radio personality Alison Steele died (Born Ceil Loman - January 26, 1937). She was also known by her air name, #TheNightbird. She amassed a large and loyal following on her night shifts on #WNEW 102.7 FM in New York City during the late 1960s and 1970s. Her show featured #progressiverock and artists associated with the counterculture of the time, combined with listeners' calls and Steele's own unique brand of mellow DJ patter, peppered with poetry and mysticism. Her original Nightbird show ran from 1968 to 1979.
