"In a new report, scientists with the Illinois State Archaeological Survey describe how increased flooding, erosion and other effects of human-induced climate change are degrading many of the state’s cultural sites." https://t.co/nYnD17VLCp

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

House Republicans should ask Santa for a spine for Christmas. Elon Musk isn't even eligible to become president, but now he's pulling the House GOP's strings and pushing them to throw out a clean, BIPARTISAN, spending deal and shut the government down on Christmas.

TRUMP WON! LET’S GO🔥

Make America Great Again FOR THE RICH— everyday working folk, not so much.

TRUMP TAX-CUTS:

🔘If you make $27,000/year, your taxes will go up $790

🔘If you make $56,000/year, your taxes will go up $1530

🔘If you make $200,000/year, your taxes will go up $610

🔘If you make $1 million+/year, your taxes will go down $36,320

SEE HOW THIS WORKS?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The US Congress this week came to an agreement to fund our government.

Elon Musk, who became $200 BILLION richer since Trump was elected, objected.

Are Republicans beholden to the American people? Or President Musk?

This is oligarchy at work.

France: "Around one hundred stakeholders – including brands, distributors, glassmakers, operators, federations, and associations – are now working together to develop a shared national reuse system for food packaging in supermarkets." https://t.co/Odh5RzUwfT

I remember being in Malawi 🇲🇼 during a measles epidemic

I was at one point literally surrounded by kids with measles

Measles is HIGHLY contagious - one of the most infectious viruses out there .

But I did not catch measles.

Why ?

Because I've been vaccinated.

It works !

1/ Formaldehyde is a chemical that causes an inescapable cancer risk for everyone in America.

It’s in the air we breathe. And it’s in our homes: our couches, our clothes, even babies’ cribs.

So what can you do to reduce your exposure? THREAD 🧵

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Workers are harvesting romaine lettuce in Hollister CA. When they begin work at 5:30 am, there is freezing cold dew on the crop. This makes it hard to pack good quality lettuce. In addition, workers share that their fingers feel numb as they harvest. #WeFeedYou

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

People with Medicare used to pay as much as $400 a month for insulin.

Now, because of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, that cost is capped at $35 a month.
