Let me pass you the arthritis cream. And don't hit so hard on the high five.

Off the silver screen, this is going to get very ugly.

So much for going to Canada for better healthcare. Probably better to stay with our own wacko Sec. RFK, Jr. At least we know he's lying to us.

Donald Trump just started a war and is plotting to steal the 2026 election. Meanwhile, his buddy David Ellison just won control of CNN.

Isn't that the kind of immigration fraud The Regime is pursuing to denaturalize citizens and deport them?

Guess she should take her education agenda to the head of the class, or line.

Another attempt by The Regime to make the UN superfluous.

When do they learn that great photos are not reality and don't fool anyone into believing they are better than their actions?

Can’t win? Drop out: California Democrats plead with governor hopefuls as party fears Republican surge Party worries crowded field to replace Gavin Newsom – and quirk of primary system – could open door for Republicans in November

I really hope folks with limited chances get out of the way. Two GOP candidates & no Democratic for governor in CA is disaster!

Worse than a GOP (MAGA?!) gov is chance Democrats fail to show up in November and House seats are lost to the GOP b/c folks don't vote

Primary rival sues to prevent Democrat Eileen Laubacher from going through assembly in Colorado’s 4th CD Democratic congressional candidate Trish Calvarese on Monday asked a judge to prevent one of her primary rivals, Eileen Laubacher, from participating in the caucus and assembly process to seek the nom...

It's sad that a candidate who failed against Boebert two times is more interested in her own success than putting a really strong, well qualified Democratic candidate in office.

Ex-Republicans are welcome in the Democratic party.

Screenshot of an X post by Headquarters quoting Hillary Clinton responding during testimony after learning Lauren Boebert was posting photos. The quote includes Clinton saying she would be held in contempt if needed and that everyone is abiding by the same rules. Below is a video still showing Clinton seated at a hearing table wearing a blue suit jacket, resting her chin on her hand.

In a Clinton v. Boebert battle, I'm going with the smart, experienced former Secretary of State over the conspiracy nut who performs lewd public behavior.

Women’s History Month is not a Hallmark moment, it’s a ledger. Rights won because women organized, agitated and refused silence. The gap in pay, power and safety didn’t close itself and it won’t close on vibes. Celebrate the gains. Fight the rest.

No worse than the '60s learning to think if sea exploration from Johnny Quest or space exploration fro the Jettsons and Thunderbirds.

It's the stuff that gets young minds going. The serious science cones later.

First we get them to dream.

The golden age of vaccine development - Works in Progress Magazine The first vaccine was a lucky accident. Now we can design new vaccines in weeks, atom by atom.

NEW article by me!

We can now visualize pathogens down to atoms; design vaccines in weeks; manufacture them in microbial factories; engineer them more precise than ever before.

We're living through a golden age of vaccine development, but only if we continue to invest in them.

Wag the Dog: President gets caught making advances on an underage girl.
He starts a war to distract public attention.

Similar move during Clinton impeachment. (why they want to talk to Bill.)

The Regime owes royalties to a bunch of folks.

That's going to be a tough one in Hell.
War Criminal AND Pedophile Nope -

Brides worst Nightmare on wedding day and how to fix it. YouTube video by Monde's Threads

It still boggles my mind that middle schools do not teach basic life skills. (We called it Home Economics &Shop.)
Good move - getting rid of sexism.
Stupid move - failing to give training to all.
Everyone eats, needs a budget, needs simple home repairs.

#HealthcareIsAHumanRight

Even if The Regime doesn't support this belief...
The rest of us must remember.

They are human.
They are children.
And, especially the infants, are likely US citizens.

We must do be better for them and for every child.

It costs less than AI & is not that complicated

Kids in the story were lucky. Help was called when they were desperately ill. Could the crises have been avoided?
(There are simple answers of not holding them in detention or making sick kids line up in the cold for medicine.) Crass responses "this is best care in their lives" says DHS won't try

As much as I try to get rid of tracking cookies!
I search for exercises for a spine & hip problem - 3 hrs later Amazon recommends a new style of chair for me. Criss-cross chairs?
I haven't felt so invaded since CVS knew when to send toothpaste coupons! At least they were part of the conversation

The #SAVEAct is designed to "save" the GOP from voters they don't like:

Save democracy! Stop this!

We need Democratic candidates willing to stand up to The Regime, MAGA in 2026 & 2028. That's why I'm supporting George Conway for Congress. He's been consistently and forcefully in opposition for years.

He thinks forcefully and independently.
He's what we need for change!

@crockett.house.gov - You raise the name of Trayvon Martin, who we lost 14 years ago. We need to know what happened to #KyleBassinga.

Everyone needs the safety to walk in peace.
