This is what’s needed. Intelligent people witnessing the dangerous consequences of foolish gutting of important agencies and both warning the public and urging them to call their representatives. Next we likely need meteorologists leading street protests.
A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for.
Kudos, Sir.🌦️

If one person sees this happy little dog using her wheelie cart and decides to finally get that assistive device that would make their life a little easier too, I will have done my life’s work.

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research?
RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research
D: I just read them to you!

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

This, sadly, is true. The United States government is in the hands of morally depraved and morally corrupted people who are enabled by moral cowards and the morally apathetic.
I don’t really give a shit how much of a conservative this makes me sound like, but the United States has suffered an existential collapse in the civic virtue of our citizens necessary to sustain a liberal democracy.

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position
