Convinced a few dudes I was smart enough for PhD in chemistry. Came for the science, stayed for the pet videos. Hiking, birding, and science are my thing.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: This should not be happening. As a member of Congress, we already have a low enough job approval rating, the shutdown is just going to drive everybody's approval rating that much lower.
Pamela Brown: You're putting the blame on the leadership of your party?
Greene: Absolutely. We control the House. We control the Senate. We have the White House.
“Starting October 1st, 2025, we will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any branded or patented Pharmaceutical Product, unless a Company IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America...” - President Donald J. Trump
Not the composure I would expect from the VP of USA. Calling names when you're in a position such as the second-highest authority in our country feels very childish and not becoming of a VP.
JD Vance: "What we know is that in Dallas, Texas, an ICE facility was opened fire open by a violent left-wing extremist, a person who wrote anti-ICE messaging on their ballots. These's some evidence we have that's not yet public."
@hikingwithshawn Honestly, same :)
But I wouldn't consider an inReach a splurge. That is life-saving. But an ultralight tent and sleeping bag. 100% would if I could.
Dr. Katalin Karikó who won a Nobel Prize for developing mRNA vaccines responds to RFK Jr:
"When you are sick, you wouldn't ask for advice from a lawyer like Kennedy. You ask experts, your physician, for advice."
@JustJenRX@NancyMace It is sarcasm. A comment on how the Christian right believes very heavily in women being wives and mothers. Now we have a single woman without children running for the highest office in our state. I happen to support women running for office with or without a husband and kids.
RFK Jr. says reviving the President’s Fitness Test will reignite American pride, competition, and commitment to health.
“In December of 1960, a month after he won the election, my uncle wrote an article for Sports Illustrated.”
“He was lamenting the fact that America had prided itself on its beef jerky toughness and that we were losing that.”
“We were falling behind Europeans, we were falling behind other nations.”
“He was signaling with that article that he was going to make physical fitness of our kids the centerpiece of his administration.”
“I'm so grateful to President Trump for bringing back this tradition.”
“When we were kids you had to do sit ups, had to pull ups, had to do shuttle runs, and had to do one mile runs.”
“They awarded the top 15% with a patch and with recognition and with certificates, and for me it was a huge item of pride when I was growing up.”
“We need to reinstill that spirit of competition and that spirit and that commitment to nutrition and physical fitness.”
I don't know if DJT is in the files or not. What we do know is that Alex Acosta made a sweetheart deal with Epstein and then went on to work for the president. DJT likes loyalty.
Trump says he supports the release of the Epstein files but with 1 condition: “It’s gotta be stuff that really doesn’t hurt people unfairly” adding: “The whole thing is a scam set up by the Democrats”
Translation: don’t release anything with my name on it
🚨 TUCKER CARLSON ON NICOTINE:
“I never get sick. I’m 56. Never been inside a gym. I’m NEVER sick.”
And now you know why they’re trying to ban it.
Nicotine was never the problem... it was the cure.
What else have they lied about?
Heartbreaking for Lia Thomas and all trans athletes. The barriers that they must overcome to compete at these levels are already so high, and now they can't compete at all. Railey Gaines still wouldn't have "won" that race.
BREAKING
The University of Pennsylvania has come to an agreement with the Trump administration on what the Department of Education said was its Title IX violations.
This will include stripping trans athlete Lia Thomas of her records, titles, and recognitions.
@hikingwithshawn Ugh, no. I was just in the White Mountains and nothing. I was so bummed. And I didn't see one in GSMNP either. But that was probably due time of year.
"For babies"... but what about the women who will now struggle for basic healthcare needs?
Wild to me that the anti-abortionists are still to this day so focused on the birth of babies, they continue not to see the unintended side effects of rulings like this.
‼️BREAKING: A huge win for babies and a crushing defeat for the predatory abortion industry.
SCOTUS just ruled 6-3 in the Medina v. Planned Parenthood case that state Medicaid programs can DEFUND Planned Parenthood!
Thank you to the dedicated lawyers at @ADFLegal!!!
