I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

Reading Obama’s tribute to Pope Francis is a stark reminder of how far presidential dignity has fallen. Where there was once eloquence, compassion, and moral clarity, we now endure a swaggering caricature—petty, reckless, and painfully unworthy of the office.

Signalgate in clear context. Plus a primer on the well-document goals of those now in power. Please, read this new article from Dave Troy, it’s the best concise explanation of how the reactionary political movement MAGA, ultimately a multi-flavor end-of-times cult, works to stamp out our democracy.

The fact that this gang of criminals is using public rather than officially designated tools to communicate tells you they are executing against this government rather than on its behalf. It’s a hostile takeover. Respond accordingly.

Trump WH is going to just ignore the Signal scandal and wait on media to move on.
Dems have to drive this. Otherwise the story DOES die.
Recommendations:
1. Call for IMMEDIATE firings, including Hegseth.
2. Impeachment articles against JD Vance for putting Troops' lives at risk
