Last night the US illegally attacked Venezuela and kidnapped President Maduro and his wife.
No one believes that this is about democracy. It’s about power and profit for the US war machine. We know what happens next because we’ve been here before.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
The White House blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy Thursday.

Why should National Grid customers foot the bill for pollution they didn’t cause? At the Enviro & Energy Hearing, I asked New York State Department of Public Service why National Grid is allowed to pass the Gowanus Superfund cleanup costs to customers. This isn’t equitable & it sets a bad example.

Sounds like all of hhs is under a cyber attack, which in fact it is
Numerous health websites are down this morning — hhs.gov, healthit.gov, and the most important one, the National Provider ID API keeps going down as well: npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov
This one is used millions of times a day to lookup NPI numbers for providers.
