Roughly 1.4 million federal workers are going without pay due to the government shutdown. About half of them are furloughed, while the other half has been deemed essential and is working without pay.
It's supposed to be payday for many federal workers. Instead, they're getting nothing

Hi, immunologist here:
(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)
RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”
That’s NOT how immunology works.
He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:

As the mom of girl athletes, I know why they attack trans athletes: It’s a way to further marginalize trans girls.
If the issue truly was about girl’s sports, they would first make facilities equally available to girls and fund their uniforms and coaches and buses the same as boys. They don’t.
