He faced up to 35 years in prison.

He referred to the COVID-19 vaccine as "bioweapons" dozens of times.

Bondi explained, “Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so. He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today.”

Where is all the outrage that Johnson is sending the house home early? So the subsidies will expire despite the discharge petition…so many people are going to get hurt from this. Why is Congress full of spineless self serving 🍊serving useless members.

There were 210,000 Haitians in the United States on humanitarian parole as of late last year.

Currently, only 33,000 Haitians with TPS, including thousands in the Springfield area & more than 1,300 children born in Clark County.

I'm relieved @merriam-webster.com chose "slop" as the word of the year!

I recorded a WOTY episode Friday with @jesszafarris.bsky.social and @linguisticdiscovery.com, and M-W hadn't made its choice yet. But The Economist & Macquarie Dictionary had already chosen "slop," so it's in the show.

I also recently read Breath by @mrjamesnestor, & found it fascinating (I gave 6 copies to friends)—it's clear that simple changes to breathing patterns can have profound effects on both the body & mental health. I took a class in @Sudarshankriiya; I do the exercises near-daily.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Every politician who calls this “freedom” should be dragged back to the dirt roads they forgot. We are not the fringe. We are the foundation.
The working class is not your ATM, your cannon fodder, or your political theater. We are the muscle behind the myth … and we are wide awake now.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.
