In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ...

The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.

Wait - so now Markwayne Mullin will be the BOSS of the very guys who he was hiding from on Jan 6?

That's just quality humor.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Just heard that Ramsey County is refusing to offer Jake Lang any deal on his felony property destruction charges. 1-5 years.

Only 4 days until the GA-14 special election to fill MTG’s seat! With 20 Republicans splitting the field, @shawnforgeorgia.bsky.social

A vintage black-and-white studio portrait of Lucy Hobbs Taylor, the first woman in the United States to earn a degree in dentistry (1866), taken in the late 19th century. She is a young woman in her 30s with a serious, composed expression, gazing directly at the camera. Her dark hair is parted in the center and pulled back into a neat bun. She wears a dark Victorian-style dress with a high collar, a light ruffled or lace collar insert, and a fitted bodice with subtle detailing. Her hands rest calmly in her lap, conveying quiet determination and professionalism. The plain backdrop and soft lighting emphasize her dignified presence as a trailblazing figure who overcame gender barriers to become a licensed dentist and advocate for women in medicine.

Happy #DentistsDay! 😬

Lucy Hobbs Taylor is the first American woman to graduate dental school (Ohio College of Dental Surgery, 1866).

By 1900, ~1,000 women had followed her into dentistry, an increase many attribute to her accomplishments.

A warm, color portrait photograph of evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis seated outdoors next to the textured trunk of a large tree. She is smiling brightly and directly at the camera with a joyful, approachable expression, her eyes sparkling with warmth and intelligence. She has short, curly graying hair, and wears small stud earrings. Her outfit is a patterned blouse or dress in deep purple with floral accents in beige, gold, and brown tones.

Evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis' groundbreaking work revolutionized our understanding of life's origins and evolution, and how complex life began. She was born #OTD in 1938.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

A classic black-and-white photograph of Geraldyn β€œJerrie” Cobb, pioneering American aviator and astronaut candidate, seated in the cockpit of a high-performance jet aircraft during the early 1960s. She wears a flight helmet with visor, oxygen mask connected to a hose, and flight suit with patches. Her expression is calm, focused, and determined as she looks upward slightly toward the sky, evoking her role as the first woman to pass the same astronaut screening tests as NASA's Mercury Seven men and her status as the top contender in the Mercury 13 program. The image captures her courage, skill, and groundbreaking ambition in an era when women were excluded from spaceflight due to gender bias.

Jerrie Cobb should have been the first woman in #space. πŸš€

Due to gender bias, she wasn't.

Part of the Mercury 13 (women), she passed the same tests as the Mercury Seven astronauts (men), often ranking in the top 2% (including compared to the men). She was born #OTD in 1931.
