Letter from 130 bioethicists condemns the “unwarranted, ill-advised, & frankly bizarre vendetta against a scientist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, rather than making a sincere effort to learn from the painful experiences of the pandemic to improve national preparedness” bioethicstoday.org/blog/an-open...

Target reported $1.88B in net income, pumped up by $1B in tariff refunds that WE paid for. Will customers see a dime back? No. Will workers get real raises? No. Target sure found $518M for cash dividends and still has $8.3B in authorized buybacks on the table though.

Hinojosa: 2018, Beto ran against Ted Cruz. That’s the closest we came to flipping Texas. This year, for my primary, I got twice as many votes as Beto got in 2018, even though I had eight opponents, because there’s just more energy. So, this is our year and our best chance in 25-plus years to win.

I remember watching this when it aired live in September, 1976, the Muppet Show's first season. I didn't know who Rita Moreno was, only that she was amazing. She won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. Happy Sunday Funday! 🥵

God already built a wall through Big Bend — it's called the Chisos Mountains. We don't need to give billions of our tax dollars to out of state vendors. We don't need to desecrate this sacred land. We don't need this useless, disgraceful, corrupt Big Bend border wall.

Jennifer Welch: “The real boogeyman is not the brown-skinned Abdul or Zohran. The real boogeymen are white crusty pink arm Republicans like Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk. These are the people that don’t give a fuck about you." "The whole Communist scare is total bullshit”

Bernie Sanders: "The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the Soviet Union was an authoritarian society." "And then you’ve got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country."
