My 250 word explanation of why Californians need to vote “yes” on Prop 50, “The Election Rigging Response Act.”
And though I don’t talk about it in the letter, the same reasons are why other people should support the effort too. Link at the end of the letter for how to do that.

Israel has launched an attack on Iran and I guarantee you - I absolutely guarantee you - the No. 1 thing our narcissistic-oaf president is worried about is how it might draw attention away from his birthday parade.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

NWS just announced a major reduction in upper-air (weather balloon) observations due to staffing shortages.
Omaha and Rapid City losing balloon launches altogether, with launches cut in half at 6 other sites.
Losing this many launches could affect severe weather forecasting and computer models.

On the plus side, as a Canadian, this reassures me that America will attack itself first before anyone else.
I feel like we're kind of overlooking the fact that the head of the Department of Health and Human Services sat in a Steak n Shake yesterday and basically said getting measles is better than getting a measles vaccine.
