I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan.

We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised.

That’s how democracy should function.

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.
RFK Jr on measles: "The MMR vaccine contains a lot of aborted fetus debris."

The spring run off is coming up and hiking season is almost upon us.

DO NOT ATTEMPT RIVER CROSSINGS AT THIS TIME.

Falling and drowning are the two biggest killers in the park after automobile accidents.

Hike smart and avoid any crossings until further notice.
It's not worth your life.

Gonna start singing O Canada in Spanish in lieu of the national anthem to not only piss off the racists but to also confuse them.

Is anyone else sleepless when considering the data that left Our Government? Or the backdoors?

It all feels like a con.

BREAKING: Donald Trump takes the United States to a horrifying new low as our country is formally added to a humans right watchlist — a direct result of his authoritarian MAGA policies.

Autism is not a tragedy. And it has nothing to do with vaccines.

Judge J. Michael Luttig, conservative Republican, basically said on "Deadline: White House" - what Donald Trump is doing today can happen to any of us... He and others made the point that we must WAKE UP!

What, with protests, can we do??

The country deserves a president who works for the people, not one who treats the presidency like a personal playground while the economy burns.

On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.
Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.
It's all fun and games until …

"Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC #ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries."

Great question 👇👇👇
I am a professor at Columbia University. All of the student NIH training grants have been canceled and now there are reports that ALL funding will be frozen. Why are Universities not banding together and speaking out publicly and forcibly about governmental attacks on biomedical research?
