Add Karen Smith to my list of badasses whose mouthy approach I respect. Actions usually speak louder than words.

Can’t believe our tax dollars are being used for political ads. The White House is now airing a taxpayer-funded ad during commercial breaks on Fox News. The 30-second spot has all the markings of a campaign ad, except the disclaimer at the bottom says: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

Apparently $12M was moved from HHS's Office of Minority Health to help fund RFK Jr's security, while grants supporting preventive care for low income communities were canceled.
Waste, fraud, abuse, and a spectacularly bad use of public health dollars 😒

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people.

To truly understand the scope and origins of the disaster that the Roberts court has unleashed by destroying the Voting Rights Act, you have to return to one of the darkest periods of our history.
Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

As an expert on this topic, I know of no cases anywhere in which AI was key to preventing a school shooting. In fact, I am 605% sure this is another instance of Kash Patel spouting BS stats on Fox News. (Maybe he should just chug a beer on air? As Trump’s former press sec tries to look serious?) 🤡🤡

Last month, ICE put 12 Somali men on a plane and told them they were being deported to Somalia, according to interviews with community leaders, friends, and family members.
Instead, they arrived at the notorious US military base in Cuba, where seven or eight of them remain.
