Colon cancer numbers are rising in the US, UK, Canada, China, Australia, India, South Korea, the EU, Brazil, South Africa etc., the exception is in women in Nordic states who are more likely to eat a diet high in fiber because of berries. Eat beans, berries and other high fiber foods. Limit booze
So many Americans are dying from colon cancer and thats terrifying to me.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

When you call your senators‘ offices, the SAVE Act is HR 7296, the House majority passed it today, the Senate must stop it.
Yep, that should be included in all articles about bills. The SAVE act is HR 7296. www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr...

Instead of following what is right and the law of the Constitution, our Republican colleagues are following a single man. @crockett.house.gov and Oversight Democrats will hold this administration accountable for every unconstitutional act they carry out.

Tonight, I voted with the majority of my colleagues to end Trump's tariffs on Canada, one of our closest allies.

These tariffs are not only unpopular, they are hurting our economy & our alliances.

I urge my Senate colleagues to take up the bill & send it to the President's desk.

And also, you will not break them. Like, do you know how *patient* Minnesota people are?

Patience is stubbornness with a coat of serenity.

They will out-endure and outlast.

Which doesn’t mean they don’t need help—just because you *can* endure suffering doesn’t mean others shouldn’t help you.

A parade of storms is anticipated to bring 3 to 7 feet of snow to the Sierra Nevada as the atmosphere settles into a pattern favorable for back-to-back-to-back cold systems. It won’t be typical Sierra cement. Temperatures in the teens and 20s will be plenty cold for powdery snow that skiers crave.

My Norwegian-American sports-fan wife assures me that the girlfriend's statement “It was touching to see that Sivert was included in the victory" should be read as, "I see my good-for-nothing ex is being a narcissist again while the rest of the team mourns the recent death of their teammate."

Internal Revenue Service improperly shared confidential tax information of thousands of individuals with immigration enforcement officials, according to three people familiar with the situation, appearing to breach a legal fire wall intended to protect taxpayer data.

Typically, the humiliation of a no-bill is that prosecutors could not persuade a *majority* of grand jurors to indict on a relatively low burden of proof.

Every single grand juror knew this case was a disgrace, per this reporting. 🔽

President Trump and Speaker Johnson pushed to indict 6 Members of Congress for simply telling servicemembers it's their duty to follow the law.

This weaponization of the justice system to silence these patriots is not only un-American and unconstitutional, it's dangerous.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

The worst reactions to the Tumbler Ridge shooting will come from the far right in Canada and the U.S.:

“See? Gun control doesn’t work! See? Trans people are mentally ill and not to be trusted.”

Here's a thing I can't stop thinking about:

Even if she's never, herself, experienced anything beyond the bog standard sexual predations of groping, grabbing, & whispered or hollered harassment - Pam Bondi knows women, likely some in her family, who are survivors. We all do. Most of us know many.

Now is the time to start organizing groups of people who will help ensure that if ICE does surround the polls ALL American citizens who want to can access those polls in the midterms and beyond. Just like during the Civil Rights Era.
