Really helpful piece from @gatewayc.bsky.social on #lungcancer in never-smokers.

Women in this group face a higher risk than men, yet symptoms are still overlooked or put down to something else.

🙏 Thanks for pointing to All You Need Is Lungs as a resource. #LCSM

This is the “new” face of Lung Cancer. Why is it being diagnosed in so many young women? It’s unfortunate that there is 0 zero zilch federal research funding allocated in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” #lcsm www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8DQRpfr/

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. .

Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.
President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers:

“It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.
