"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.”

Bowing down to a bully never works.

And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

I don’t always agree with Chair Powell – but he is right.

Prices are up 2.9% from last month. And they’re higher than they were a year ago.

mRNA vaccines are, without exaggeration, one of the greatest inventions in human history.

We basically hacked our immune systems. “Here’s the secret code for this new virus, prep to fight exactly that.” A promising avenue for addressing some cancers too.

Ukraine can defeat Russia, liberate all its territory and stop the Russian threat against Europe and beyond.
Ukrainians are not even asking us to spill the blood of our soldiers.
We must unleash our arsenal for democracy and arm Ukraine to win.

In 49 states and at the federal level, police can (unconstitutionally) buy your geolocation data (often harvested from smartphone apps) from advertising data brokers and bypass getting a warrant from a judge for it.
