So basically our core biomedical agenda has gone from cancer and heart disease research with major investments in alzheimers/dementia research to jacking up the sperm count of teenage males and a new wild goose for the 'hidden causes' of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

If Mom didn’t have a passport she would have to show up with her original birth certificate, her marriage certificate from her first marriage, her divorce certificate from that marriage, and her marriage certificate to Dad EVERY TIME SHE WENT TO VOTE
Mad but not surprised. If this passes the Senate, next generation of women voters DO NOT CHANGE YOUR NAMES unless you can afford a passport with your married name that has to be renewed every 10 years(I think. Going home to check mine.) Also FOUR Democrats voted for this?!
NEW VIDEO: The U.S. House of Representatives passed a major voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine democracy.

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.
