@aarpfoundation.bsky.social Your optumRX discount pharmacy plan is a pure scam. I’ve spent over 8 hours over 4 days trying to get my account to work. Literally, WTH??

Not sure what's worse, the reporter asking a softball "do you want to weigh in on that" [Signalgate] or the reporter immediately moving onto another topic when Trump demands, like a little baby, that she doesn't "bring that up again".

Our media is failing us. Again.

Will publishers embrace this type of certification for human-created books—content to cover?

Also, Attention Baltimore,
Remember that on Monday, 3/7/25, traitor chuck will have his book tour.
Let's all have informative signs to express opinions of his betrayal of our party.
Don't allow his demagoguing. He knows he is untouchable, so he chose his tour over protecting our democracy!

The federally-supported science in my lab has trained a generation of Americans who are doing critical work:
Making safe and effective drugs.
Preventing harmful insects from entering the USA.
Designing better orthodontics.
Quickly responding to disease outbreaks.
Designing clinical trials.
Post the amazing science things you have done with federal funding.

They’re brief
To temporarily confuse.
Because we’ve been so passive.
