From rotten food to sailors trying to jump ship, families of sailors aboard the USS Lincoln are begging for help—yet Trump claims their 250-plus day deployment hasn't been "nearly long enough."

Again, it is an *exceptionally* strange situation where the president of the US gets to literally invent preposterous things out of thin air every day and no one can do anything about it
Trump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."

What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social media algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be weird.
Parnas: How much money was funneled through these banks to Epstein?
Wyden: I think it’s certainly well over a billion dollars.
One of the things we pointed out yesterday is that Deutsche Bank failed to properly report to the Treasury Department more than $250 million in suspicious transactions

Tariff Transfer Scam
Walmart, the company that pays its workers so poorly that many rely on federal welfare programs, just received a $10.2 billion tariff refund cheque for Pedolf's illegal tariffs, which YOU the American consumer paid & which pushed up inflation

Prehistoric humans had #LymeDisease, not to mention likely greater understanding of science and nature than RFKJr.
RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.

A weather model suggests temperatures of almost 50 degrees are possible in France. Anyone who claims there is no climate change, who disparages science in this field, or who denies that human activity is the cause, is making a statement that has nothing to do with reality #ClimateEmergency #FarRight

In a first, Germany drew more power from wind and solar than from fossil fuels last year.
In Germany, Wind and Solar Overtake Fossil Fuels
Together, wind and solar generated 44 percent of Germany’s electricity, while fossil fuels generated roughly 43 percent, according to data from the Energy Institute, a think tank based in London. The figures represent a major milestone for the German “Energiewende,” or “energy turnaround,” a national push to ramp up renewable energy and phase out gas, coal, and nuclear power.
