Why have we taken that tanker? Did it fire on US? What is the reason for seizing this tanker? Why is no one asking these questions? Congress, what the actual feck?

The Supreme Court is hearing a case that allows billionaires to flood the country with political advertising. There is pushback but we have 6-3 fascist vs liberal justices. Let’s hope some justices wake up. Follow and get active.

This standoff situation could‘ve ended much worse. The man was wearing a Nazi uniform, the house & his body were covered in explosive devices, & the additional decomposed human remains discovered in the home belong to an unidentified murder victim.

Schenck has left his former anti-abortion movement, changed his views on abortion, and now identifies as a progressive evangelical voice. He regrets his efforts to influence the Supreme Court, stating, “I believe we … compromised the high court’s promise to administer equal justice.” /end

Hep B isn't the souvenir u want from ur child accidentally picking up the wrong sippy cup or ur teen grabbing someone else's razor. It's 50-100 X more spreadable than HIV, The vaccine is safe, effective and way easier the lifelong liver damage. Protect ur child & their liver. Share hugs not germs.
