Inveterate news junkie, dog lover, swamp hater (his swamp!), medical interpreter, former journalist and retired HS Spanish teacher. Go KU Jayhawks!

I wonder where all the furniture and artwork that was in the East Wing before Trump bulldozed it ended up. Do you suppose it's stashed away a Mar-a-Lago somewhere? Do you think there's any official record of what was there and where it went?

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.

Charles Kushner got a pardon for tax evasion & witness tampering, then an ambassadorship to France. His son is now buying the Lakers for 12.5 billion dollars and calling it stewardship. Proximity to this White House remains the highest-yielding asset class available. www.rawstory.com/joshua-kushn...

Trump is destroying the beautiful, untouched land of the Big Bend region in Texas to build a completely unnecessary border wall. One of the contractors, who has received $2B in federal contracts for the project, just so happens to be a major Trump donor. There’s always a grift.

Cops DRAGGED a 14-year-old girl out of a public meeting for daring to care about HER future. She just graduated middle school. Imagine being so damn terrified of a kid asking questions that you call security. If Big Tech needs cops to silence children, we have a much bigger problem.

Oh this is fantastic, Rep Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) went on Faux News because he knows Trump watches it to tell him that he has made America more weak, more alone and less respected when it comes to the war in Iran. He went into the lions den and spoke truth to power!! Bravo💥🔥

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned

Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

so Mark Walter, who was at the White House recently, is under investigation by the Trump administration and just so happened to abruptly sell one of America’s premier sports franchises to the brother of Trump’s son in law 🤔

The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold to American businessman Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record breaking price over $12 billion, multiple sources told ESPN.

Kushner and Iger were involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter, who had purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year.
