The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

An enormous number of kids in Florida are going to die unnecessarily.
About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”

Litter is definitely a massive emergency that warrants mobilizing units from several states’ National Guard, arming them heavily and sending them into the streets of the capital.

Lifes Rich Pageant was released on this day in 1986. The title was inspired by a line in the 1964 Pink Panther film A Shot in the Dark when Inspector Clouseau, says “It’s all part of life’s rich pageant” after he falls into a fountain. What’s your favorite track from “Pageant”?

Dan is a chemical warfare expert and his advice is sound: tear gases (CS, CN, and OR pepper spray) sting and burn like acids, but chemically they aren’t. Antacids don’t help.
Milk is also not any more useful than water to remove them (another myth) and will end up irritating your eyes on its own.

Tear gas and pepper spray are not acids. They don’t cause a burning sensation because they are acids. Using antacids is a placebo at best and, in your eyes, a cause of injury
