The first official US coin was the Fugio cent, rumored to have been designed by Ben Franklin.
Instead of "In God We Trust" (which wasn't put on coins until the Civil War) it said Mind Your Business.

So, um, if anyone has any pennies in the couch cushions they could send my way, my neighbor just found these in his shed. He knows I “help kittens” and well, here we are.
They’re underweight and filthy, and the smallest one worries me, but we’ll get him bathed and fed and figure things out. /1

Please understand that this kind of sneering “compliance” means RFK Jr. is a dirty cheat and a liar and should be treated as such.
Apparently RFK Jr. promised Senator Bill Cassidy that he wouldn’t remove the statement
“Vaccines do not cause autism” from the CDC website.
So what RFK Jr. did instead is spit in his face by leaving the statement there and adding this:

impressive how every time one of these lists of Shitty Democrats circulates, there's fuckin Henry Cueller, Pelosi's anti choice BFF who she personally pushed over the line in a tight primary vs Jessica Cisneros, a pro choice progressive
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

They know that TurboTax is easier than doing it by hand and cheaper (mostly) than going to an accountant.
