Mail-in ballots are secure & essential for military families, seniors, parents, & rural voters.
 
For decades, Washington has run successful & secure vote-by-mail elections.
 
Disgusting to see a President take election advice from Putin. Hands off our mail in ballots!

Resistance works. It effects society, economics, it has an impact on the culture that makes democracy a voice that demands actions.

It cost Tesla 125% of revenue.
It forced Disney+ to reinstall Mr. Kimmel when subscriptions were cancelled by the thousands.

YOU have a voice. Resist and be heard.

Trust me that you want avoid getting shingles. Lowering your risk of dementia is just icing on the cake.
If avoiding a painful and disfiguring rash - and potentially permanent nerve pain and nerve damage - isn’t enough for you, multiple studies have also shown that shingles vaccination can lower dementia risk, possibly up to 20%
In the US: If you're 50 or older (or 19/older & immunocompromised), please get vaxxed against shingles. It's no joke.

Using AI to debunk BS.
A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

More than 45% of rural US hospitals operate at a loss. As a result of Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill.” more than 300 rural hospitals are at risk of closing. Flood’s home state of Nebraska is no exception, with 29 hospitals operating in the red.

Republicans are already working to downplay rural hospitals shutting down as a result of President Donald Trump’s behemoth budget reconciliation bill.

Looks like Whiskey Pete is seriously out of shape after claiming to be able to meet performance standards he endorsed. “Surprise, surprise, surprise!” as Gomer Pyle would say.

I know some badass Women Surgeons. Plus I think they have improved the culture in this specialty immensely. So all I can say is “You Go Girls!”
The pilot data is very convincing; almost all the women have been told they can't be a surgeon due to their gender, while none- none!- of the men have.

I have never seen an actual case. But given the growing resistance to vaccines, I expect more horses are not being vaccinated, creating a reservoir for spill over to people.

Days after birth, an infant’s immune system is already busy reacting to exposures. Vaccines administered during the immune system’s early development can establish robust and long-lasting protection. The childhood vaccine series was developed to optimize this protection.

I know it never crossed my mind that vaccines might contain porcine products.
Efforts to stop a deadly measles outbreak from spreading through a predominately Muslim population are being hindered in part by concerns that some measles vaccines may not meet Islam’s halal standards because they use a stabilizer that is derived from pigs.
Halal concerns drive vaccine hesitancy as Indonesia fights measles outbreak
Health workers in Sumenep, Indonesia, are delivering measles vaccines to children. This effort is part of a campaign to curb a deadly measles outbreak on Madura Island, which has persisted for nine months.

Best explanation I’ve heard of Orban’s recalcitrance to play ball.
Viktor Orbán, the PM of Hungary, rejected Pres. Tmrup's suggestion to stop buying Russia energy resources — Bloomberg.

Orbán added that abandoning Russian supplies will lead to a 88% drop in payoffs to him and his crew from Lukoil and Gazprom and the loss of his Christmas bonus from Putin.

Trump’s tariffs seem to be coming back to bite Main Street Americans.
“.. Trump admitted Thursday that his tariffs have been hurting American farmers. His solution — a farm bailout using tariff revenues — requires congressional approval.

“.. But Democrats are in no mood to help Trump mitigate the impacts of his trade war ..”
