Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

Whoa, lady. Hold up there. People dying of natural causes and old age are not the same as dying from lack of health care. Get a GRIP. Anyway, thanks for clearly laying out the GOP's main goal: k¡ll all the poor people.

Please respect the decisions of those who’ve chosen to leave ICE. Many federal employees want no part in this. The Trump administration is deliberately pushing people out forcing them to choose between their jobs and their conscience.

Excellent investigative reporting, as usual, from @propublica.org.
One person who has benefited from AquaBounty coming to Pioneer is the town’s mayor.
His company bought land for $600K before the deal was publicly announced, then flipped that property to AquaBounty for ~$2.1M.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

Malinowski: A couple of years ago, Vance gave a speech.. The title was universities are the enemy. He said explicitly, we cannot achieve anything in this country as a conservative movement unless we aggressively go after the universities. That's what they're doing right now

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
