Yes. Think of the good we could do for humanity and our planet with this wealth. Greed makes humans ugly

This is so so sad. I did everything right. Submitted my proposal on time in May 2025. Funds run out in April 2026. Government shutdown prevented timely review. Leaving me no choice but to shutdown my lab in April. 😢💔

“It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization…..” “that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public. These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security..”

Mike Johnson is a truly horrible human being.
Republicans want to starve children to pressure Democrats into gutting healthcare.

How do we know?

Mike Johnson just admitted it.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Wonderful symposium dinner last night at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando. Wonderful food, engaging conversation, and a special connection between chemists and close friends. 🧪

They aren’t hiding the totalitarianism, folks.
Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

She was elected to the House a month ago. But Mike Johnson has refused to swear her in, knowing it would narrow his small majority and provide the final signature needed to force a vote on an Epstein papers resolution. Now she's suing. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/u...
