Viruses do not care about politics. The next pandemic will arrive whether we are ready or not. History will judge us by whether we learned enough from it to protect the next generation. Read my full commentary below ⬇️

COMMENTARY by @mtosterholm.bsky.social: The pandemic debate the US isn't having When the Senate hearing featuring Dr. Fauci ended, one vital question remained not only unanswered but largely absent from the discussion: How will the US be better prepared for the next pandemic? https://bit.ly/4yTKSsD

Turning the White House into a Gilded Palace of Sin wasn’t enough.

Separation of church and… Tax them all!

Churches telling parishioners where to cast their vote. I had to see it to believe it. I guess people are too stupid in general to see the obvious right in front in their faces.

Trump blames Minnesota for cyber attacks on water systems in as many as seven states. He can’t say it’s Iran because that would be on him: taylorvilledailynews.com/local-news/s...

The #Ebola #Bundibugyo outbreak in DRC's Ituri province is now the 2nd largest in known history, having overtaken the 2018-2020 outbreak in North-Kivu & Ituri in a matter of 2.5 months. Hard to say how big this one will get. Can't see it ending anytime soon.

Trump Action Tracker@trumpactiontracker.bsky.social · 6d ago

The Trump administration’s plans to stymie and defund bike lane plans in the US, on the unusual basis that they are DEI tools, will hurt efforts to improve roadway safety, non-motorized transportation advocates say. TAT: [Attacking science]

Hours after meeting Zelenskyy and then Netanyahu, Trump betrayed Ukraine again, ordering $400 million in congressionally approved military aid to be delayed until 2029. Since Trump took office, the US has provided little to no actual aid to Ukraine.

Having our nations’ infrastructure get hacked is terrifying to think about. Good thing we have the highly qualified and competent ‘acting’ executive assistant director for cybersecurity at CISA, Nick Anderson keeping us all safe...😒

Raphael Satter@raphae.li · last wk.

More than 30 water systems in Minnesota have been hit in what officials call a “coordinated cyberattack.” One said the hacking shared characteristics with those that federal agencies have been warning against — shortly after federal alerts about Iranian hacking. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

#fauci Please Repost

I watched the entire despicable hearing today with Dr. Fauci and I have never been so embarrassed for my country. Most of those Republicans who tried desperately to shame him probably wouldn’t be alive today if it weren't for him. Disgraceful.

Why aren’t there nonstop investigations into this massive illegal theft?

A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.
