Retired nuclear pharmacist. Love to play my drums and sitting on the beach. Also enjoy eating at great restaurants and drinking great wine!!
It was called GIGO. Garbage in garbage out. I remember this term when computers were first introduced. We can change the garbage that is now in holding political offices by voting in the midterms.!! This is the only way the average person can have a say. This is our power. We must vote them out.!!!

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

Republicans have started the process to cut Medicaid, SNAP, and education to fund tax breaks for the rich.

But they still have to write the bill.

That means we have time to make this an impossible vote for them to take.

It's time to tell everyone you know about this tax scam.
