After much consideration, I've decided that the problem with Liz Truss's new YouTube venture is Liz Truss.
She's got the charisma of a bin liner and speaks like a droning spin dryer on a quiet cycle.

My mind is boggled again, a few more dots joined for the whole Brexit scam; when will this story - including the Cambridge Analytica element - ever get out into the mainstream, and when will anyone of the many charlatans & carpetbaggers ever be held to account?

Horseshoe crabs & Delaware bay’s most abundant shorebirds — red knots, ruddy turnstones, sanderlings and semipalmated sandpipers & the Pharmaceutical & Biotech industry - who knew?
Mind-boggled again 😲
Mind-boggled again 😲
For decades, the biomedical industry has relied on a compound in horseshoe crab blood to protect medical equipment from contamination, saving untold human lives.
But conservationists say modern medicine’s dependence on this bloodletting is upending a globe-spanning ecosystem.

These crabs probably saved your life. Can we save theirs?
The medical world relies on horseshoe crab blood in the production of vaccines and equipment. A synthetic is available, but companies have been slow to adopt it.

Trump did tariffs and austerity at the same time. It’s a perfect recipe to destroy the US economy and manufacturing. Turns out when you tell the world to fuck off, they tell you it right back.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.
ACLU says another three US citizen children were disappeared from their own country today: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Families disappeared and isolated without legal access; one child with cancer deported without medication and pregnant mother deported as well

The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it."
And then... I lost it.

Ain't that the truth 👌
the basic problem facing american democracy is that one party has decided it wants a king and will hand over as much authority as is necessary to make that happen
All but three House Republicans just voted for Trump's tariffs. The procedural measure, which preemptively surrenders congressional power to stop Trump's tariffs, passed with all Democrats voting no. This was the vote count:

This little punk popped out of the forest to say hola! Collared Redstarts are energetic warblers that fan their high contrast tail to flush insects from vegetation and leaf litter. They are native to Central America in the mountains above 1,500 meters / 5,000 feet.
