So this made me happy! I've been replacing all my ceiling fans. In the midst of it I ordered one I decided I didn't want. I posted on Nextdoor that I had a free fan. I received some excited replies. And it's been picked up by a person that really needs it. :)

@sanders.senate.gov: You're telling the American people that the American Medical Association–representing hundreds of thousands of people–have been co-opted and that they should not trust their doctors? Everybody is corrupt, but you? Is that what we're looking at? I don't think so

I've been a big fan of Stephen King since high school. I just signed up for MGM+ so I could watch "The Institute". The book was really good and the first episode of the show was great! I'm going to try to binge the entire show during the 7 day free trial. Perfect for a 3 day weekend. :)

A note to the media. Trump didn’t fire Cook. He’s trying to fire her. There’s a big diff. Under the law, Trump does not actually have the power to do this. So please fix your headlines, and stop buying into the White House narrative without question or critical thinking.

I've loved my two years at @carbonplan.org, but my position has been eliminated and I'm looking for work again. I think my ideal situation would be writing or editing science/climate feature articles. Throwing out the net wider, but that's the dream. Please holler if you know of anything.

A 19 year old Elon Musk/Doger named "Big Balls" was beat up in D.C. & his iPhone was stolen by a 15 year old boy and girl. So the president of the United States brought in federal Troops as the response. They are now jailing homeless people and performing checkpoints to arrest everyone they can.

The biggest takeaway from the Trump-Putin meeting is that the Epstein Files still have not been released, and the Trump administration continues to run cover for pedophiles and sex traffickers.

the requirement that no president can accept gifts from foreign countries, and the specification that only Congress can levy tariffs. Officials said the deletions were “due to a coding error,” and by the end of today the missing sections were restored. 3/3

Those include Congress’s control over the District of Columbia, Congress’s power to make the laws, the promise that habeas corpus would not be suspended, the stipulation that no money can be used by the government unless Congress has appropriated it, 2/

Yesterday, reporters noticed that the online United States Constitution, maintained by the Library of Congress, was missing parts of Article I, the part of the Constitution that lays out the rights and duties of Congress. Parts of Section 8 and all of Sections 9 and 10 were gone. 1/

No one trusts the gaslighting data that the Trump regime is putting out there. Look to third-party credible data from trusted banks, experts and economists instead on inflation indicators. They also gather #economic data and are dedicated to truth and accuracy.
