Is it just me or does it seem like the Trump administration is just trying to kill people. Getting rid of rural hospitals, stopping seniors from getting medicine, touting vaccines are bad. Kind of comes off as cruelty to everyone but the ultra wealthy.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
i'm surprised folks don't know this in the year of our lord 2026! BMI is flawed because: - it's based on stats only from white males - it doesn't take into account weight of muscle vs. fat like at all - doesn't indicate metabolic health at all - assessments based on it do more harm than good
BMI a poor metric for measuring people’s health, say experts | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Clinicians should pull back on the widespread use of body mass index (BMI) as a metric for assessing people’s health because it can lead to patient distrust and delayed care, say some health experts.

AltNPS constantly steals from journalists, so I made a list of those journalists. Give the list a follow, and you'll have a solid list of real news sources. These writers deserve your attention!
Well, yes. If Michigan state Senate would vote on the electoral college (to end it) and join states like California and Illinois, the EC would basically be dead because enough states with high numbers would only go for the popular vote.
Kamala Harris: I know this is going to be controversial coming from me in particular, we need to revisit the electoral college. We need to revisit the point of expanding the court. We need to revisit, if they so want, statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.
Oscar Isaac, Idris Elba would be my two main picks. If they were younger, Antonio Banderas or Laurence Fishburne. If they went younger, Dev Patel.
If not Matt Damon, who is you alternative Odysseus?
Transphobia is not natural in human nature. Acceptance of trans people as different & special is. Transphobia is a well funded fascist agenda. Not the natural order. All should understand. @metroplex.northsky.social
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Suicides rates going up have nothing to do with vaccinations 🤦🏻♀️
It is reprehensibly scandalous that the US Senate called a hearing so MAGA could pillory Anthony Fauci with these imbecilic lies instead of addressing the war in Iran; the rising cost of gas, groceries and utilities; the lack of affordable healthcare; or Trump’s widespread corruption 97 days, folks
