I'm just a scientist, looking at a plant, begging it to thrive.

I finally got to watch the ED video.

The coach roleplay you found was based on Eteri Tuberidze, an infamously abusive Russian coach, and that was a total jump scare as a figure skating fan!

I'm hoping that you and Caelan are still doing Respect the Dead when she kicks it.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Do not cave Boebert. For once in your miserable life make yourself useful.
Donald Trump just called Lauren Boebert to ask her to remove her name from the petition to release the Epstein files.

She does not plan to do so.

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.

Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

I don't watch other sports, but like ... are football commentators allowed to mention if an NFL player has DV allegations?

Asking because I'm always really irritated in figure skating when they're like "Oh so and so missed last season" like they chose to break and not suspended for misconduct.

We will continue to fight against the Trump Administration's efforts to take food away from Wisconsin's kids, families, and seniors, and we are eager for the court to resolve this and provide certainty for families and businesses.

Consistent with a court order, Wisconsin legally loaded FoodShare payments to cards. Now, the Trump Administration has spent the last 48 hours making a last-ditch effort to yank those payments from nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites, including 270,000 kids. It's pathetic.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Important note to Democrats for the primary.

I will not even consider voting for a Democrat for candidate who isn't promising accountability for this horror show and I suspect many feel the same
This cruelty must stop.

There’s no doubt countless more stories like these that will never be told

People being harmed who will never have justice.

We know 1200 people went missing from the Everglades facility and 3000 are missing from the Chicago raids.

Make noise for all of them.

Lastly there’s Emmanuel Garcia, a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing a month ago.

Houston PD had his mother’s missing persons report, but chose to call ICE.

He’s been in federal custody ever since, and his mother has not been allowed to see him

Willing to starve children to make sure he gets to take their family's healthcare and that Congress can't swear in a Rep who would tip the scales for opening the Epstein files.

Probably the cheapest of all but I love it.

Get a small bag of pinto beans, bacon, and garlic salt. Optional: Red chili flakes.

Soak the beans overnight then slow cook them in water with 1-2 slices of bacon in a crockpot the next day. If you like it spicy add some red chili flakes. 1/2
