@sdbronco @99Discoqueen @nbcsandiego What would be the point of doing this as some sort of control? Do you really believe that?

@Julie61828 @people Cancer is not really attacking you or any organ. It is your own cells that have mutated and overproduce. The rapidly multiplying cells form tumors which crowd out the normals cells and organs and hog the nutrients that would normally nourish you.

@newsandeventz @DanSaltsburg @KTLA In this case, it's probably workers picking in fields a mile from a bathroom.

@Breaking911 I really don't think changing the clock twice a year is a big deal. Our phones and computers do it automatically anyway, and I think it's better to have light in the morning for school kids and commuters.

I'm truly curious. Those of you who still support Trump, do you, A) not see all the blatant corruption or B) not care about all the corruption?
Serious responses, please.

CDC has temporarily restricted entry for certain travelers who were recently in the DRC, Uganda, or South Sudan.
There are currently no suspected, probable, or confirmed Ebola cases in the United States, and the risk to the American public remains low. U.S. citizens, nationals, and lawful permanent residents may still enter the country, but will undergo enhanced screening.
Travelers should monitor for Ebola symptoms for 21 days after leaving affected countries. Anyone who develops symptoms should avoid travel and contact public health authorities immediately. These measures are part of a layered public health strategy to help detect illness early and reduce the risk of disease spread.

@covie_93 I don't know why anyone would want him for president. The list of reasons he shouldn't be is endless. What a rotten example he is. Kids must be baffled!

Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks. He'd lay them for hours at his country home in Kent. He joined the bricklayers' union. And in 1921 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 75 years to catch up.

He called his depression the "Black Dog." It followed him for decades. His method for fighting it back was as basic as it sounds: laying brick after brick, hour after hour.

Churchill spelled out his theory in a long essay for The Strand Magazine. People who think for a living, he wrote, can't fix a tired brain just by resting it. They have to use a different part of themselves. The part that moves the eyes and the hands. Woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting. Anything that drags the body into a problem the mind can't solve by itself.

Modern psychology now calls this behavioral activation. It's one of the most-studied depression treatments out there. Depression sets a behavior trap. You feel bad, so you stop doing things, and doing less means less to feel good about. Feeling worse makes you do even less. The loop tightens until you can't breathe inside it.

Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side. You schedule the activity first, even when every part of you doesn't want to. Doing it produces small rewards: a wall gets straighter, a painting fills in, a messy room gets clean. Those small rewards slowly rewire the brain. Action comes first, and the feeling follows.

Researchers at the University of Washington put this to the test in 2006. They studied 241 adults with major depression and compared three treatments: behavioral activation, regular talk therapy, and antidepressants. For the people who were most severely depressed, behavioral activation matched the drugs. It beat the talk therapy. A 2014 review of more than 1,500 patients across 26 trials backed up the result.

Physical work like bricklaying does something extra on top of this. It crowds out rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches of depression. Bricklaying needs both hands and gives feedback brick by brick: each one is straight or crooked. After an hour you can see exactly how much wall you built. No room left for the mental chewing.

The line George Mack used in his post, "depression hates a moving target," is good poetry. The science behind it is sharper. Depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.

Trump, after having a 90 min phone call with Putin, puts out a truth social that he is considering withdrawing all troops from Germany. Something sinister is going on between them. It’s time for “concerned” Republicans to speak out

[Tuesday Long @long_Tuesday]

@GigiHSVARK @mariashriver Do you care what the truth is?

[Tuesday Long @long_Tuesday]

@Kevin608711 @ABC Democrats? Don't you hear the president?!

[Tuesday Long @long_Tuesday]

@NellieLeaf @BMXViking4130 @GeneralMCNews For what favors?

[ABC News @ABC]

Satellite images show that President Trump's project to build a $300 million grand ballroom appears to have removed two historic magnolia trees on the White House grounds, as well as the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden. https://t.co/DyKNsOvhCX

@rey43012352 @ScienceMagazine It can't be good!

[Tuesday Long @long_Tuesday]

@Coste1Costello @ABC Do you really believe that?

[Tuesday Long @long_Tuesday]

@GeneralMCNews That's not what she said. It would really help all of us if everyone would quit putting the wrong slant on things, exaggerating, lying, etc to cause trouble. Is this really the country we want?

[Tuesday Long @long_Tuesday]

@ABC It's no more weird than everything else going on in this country!

[Tuesday Long @long_Tuesday]

@vvDTAvv @GeneralMCNews Why only focus on the island?

[Tuesday Long @long_Tuesday]

@GeneralMCNews Why would anyone care what she wants?!
