Protect historical documents- digitize them, send them to colleagues outside the US, etc. Create a situation where no amount of deleting or burning will destroy them.
I am actually not a fan of weed and this pisses me off. Hemp, as in the low THC plant used for historical cloth, is criminalized. It is one of the easiest plants for fabric and cordage to grow, but nah. Thanks @fetterman.senate.gov so you're just not doing anything you were elected for?

Schumer allows a provision to go into the supposedly “clean” CR to allow people like Ted Cruz to file lawsuits for money over Jack Smith’s J6 investigation. Amazing Dem leadership in the senate. Thanks Chuck!

"But the specialists with whom Mother Jones spoke said that Monday’s panel, which included doctors with robust social media presences, had at times overstated both the negative health effects of menopause and the science on the benefits of hormone replacement therapy"
Great piece on the FDA and menopause hormone therapy in @motherjones.com it is the most medically accurate coverage I have read from the press! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The owners of Carniceria Y Taqueria Aguascalientes in Little Village confronted Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino and masked Goons. The cashier instructed the agents to leave, while the father confronted Bovino outside, demanding that the agent remove themselves from their property.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

And here's the thing, if we had better healthcare to begin with, my wife's health likely wouldn't be failing as bad as it is and we'd be in a better financial situation. I've lost jobs because taking care of her became priority. @fetterman.senate.gov , we are your constituents.
Wow looks like my car...
So anyway the other week I had expressed concern that they weren't taking parts of my wife's health seriously enough....so guess where we are again?

You can't go to a food bank and get a prepackaged surgeon. You can't go to a soup kitchen and get a bowl of pediatrician. You can't grow an oncologist on your porch. You can't ask your neighbors for a single psychiatrist from their dozen.
