Over and over, 3M scientist Kris Hansen found PFOS, a chemical her company made, in people’s blood. Her bosses doubted her work: How could it be everywhere?

Finally, she found one batch of blood samples without PFOS — but with it came a devastating revelation.

It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind.
It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.

It’s more important now than ever that our language does not beat around the bush. All politicians and pundits need to tell it like is, hold the line and give no quarter, like #johnossoff
To anyone writing about or thinking about the so-called "deal" with Venezuela for its oil reserves: It's theft, an "agreement" at the barrel of a gun. Please don't sanitize it.

I hope it’s clear to everyone who cares about the survival of our democracy that we need massive turnout and landslide margins to counteract the lies and cries of fraud that are coming after the midterm vote.

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could.

From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America.

Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

Who are these 1000 people going to be? ICE agents? What exactly do they think they are guarding against? They are going to help create their LIE, when Republicans LOSE!! They will claim fraud. Contact your elected officials now! Oppose Illegal “Observers”. This is NOT normal. #voterrights #midterms
⚠️ Trump’s DOJ quietly announced this week that it will deploy 1,000 election monitors for the midterms.

“...we should assume they will assert powers they do not have in order to achieve Trump’s political goals,” Marc Elias writes.

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls.

TLDR: We won!🥳
