I heard a good point. If that officer felt “threatened” by that lady such that he had to kill her, he is too fragile to be a cop.

I helped strike language from a key spending bill that would’ve shielded Bayer from legal accountability.
But the fight is far from over. SCOTUS must now weigh in.
Bayer is lobbying hard to stop states from putting warning labels on Roundup.
This isn't about politics. It's about right and wrong.

The House just decisively passed legislation that restores the Affordable Care Act tax credits.
Over the objection of Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

Here's the adult vaccination recommendations as of Nov 2024. Why did I save these? Because I knew someone was going to try to stomp on this, and not today, Satan. Not today. #CDC #vax #vaccines #getvaxxed

Donald Trump hasn't personally done a damn thing — not even lifted a finger — to help LA move from recovery to long-term rebuilding.
And while he's cutting federal forest management and firefighting funds, I've doubled the size of @calfire.bsky.social and fast-tracked state efforts.

Uncle George,
You hit the nail on the head.
This explains Venezuela.
This says that hitting narco sites in Mexico will happen if Trumo's numbers tank more.
We love your wisdom.
Keep on posting.

Not because of how you looked or what you did, but because, when no one else showed up with kindness, you did.

The science is clear. At a time when we face life-threatening impacts from climate change, this ill-conceived effort to open massive parts of our ocean to offshore oil and gas leasing is a major step backward in the nation’s urgently needed transition away from fossil fuels.
Today, the California coast we cherish and the delicate ocean ecosystems just beyond it face a renewed threat from offshore drilling. We oppose the Trump Administration’s 5-year oil and gas leasing program and will continue to defend our coastline, wildlife, economy, and health from this threat.
