“I’m not quick to condemn the cynical crowd because I understand there’s a price to be paid for honesty, decency & rejecting those in power…[But] we need to advocate for actions that strengthen the common good and against the coming escalation of lies & hate.”

After a devastating outbreak, France began vaccinating its ducks in 2023 & saw a near-total reduction in bird flu cases.
While American chickens are routinely vaccinated against all sorts of pathogens, USDA officials haven’t authorized similar efforts for bird flu, saying they could harm trade.

This is quite brilliant

Donald Trump says the House Oversight Committee should get all files it is "legally entitled to."

That phrase is critical.

I suspect he will use that phrase to block most of the files not already release now that he has re-opened an investigation into Jeffry Epstein.

Rep. Ro Khanna tells NBC he'll hold a press conference with survivors of Epstein's abuse and he'll call for Trump to meet with the survivors.

"On Tuesday what we're going to ask is for a president to meet with these survivors."
