Attention working-class Americans:

Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security.

Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

A reminder that Trump, the luckiest man on earth, like in 2017, is inheriting a strong, growing economy with months & months of job growth & growing real wages (even though most Americans don’t know it!), & will almost certainly 1) take credit for it and 2) screw it all up again.

You’re being lied to about “ultra-processed” foods
Coverage of the latest nutrition buzzword is overly broad, arbitrary, and wildly misleading. The problem goes deeper.

TRUE

I've never felt more disappointed in the Dems / disgusted by the media more than seeing their kids-gloves approach with trump

I'm not a "MSM is evil" guy by any means nor have I ever been, but in this moment in time, they have failed us irreparably in the country's time of need
Everyone else is making jokes about hot dog outfits whereas I'm here wondering why Mitch McConnell is voicing stronger anti-Trumpism sentiment than 95% of the Democratic Party has in the last 30 days.
Mitch McConnell: “We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before world war two,” he says. “Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”

So much of game criticism right now is about some level of realism or coherence within a fantasy world when none of that matters. You used to play Chrono Trigger and you’d run into a talking frog and it wouldn’t be a thing, he’d just be a frog who talked in Medieval English. You’d go ok and have fun

What if you wake up some day and you’re old and you never got your memoir or novel written, or you didn’t go swimming in that warm water all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen!

People say "bluesky is a lefty echo chamber" but I haven't seen any censorship of guys saying "I want small government and a traditional family," only guys who say "trans people are groomers and Democrats are satanic cultists drinking the blood of children"
