Why do Chemists like Nitrates? Because they are cheaper than day rates!

I had it in my head that I wanted the Silence=Death in my #AnimalCrossing House (along with a Keith Haring image). Then I hear today that Larry Kramer has died. RIP, and #ACTUP’s fight was a benefit to more than the Gay community. We’re all human. 1/2

(1/4) The cost of the Iran War won't end when the conflict does. Linda Bilmes at Harvard points out that spending on a war's veterans tends to peak 30 to 40 years after the conflict ends. For this one, that could mean around 2060.

Just launched electionhub.org, which puts every key election in one place, shows results in real-time, and calculates majorities and flips. Both federal and state elections included. Hopefully it makes election night a little easier. electionhub.org/

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

BREAKING: A top GOP official accidentally said on a hot mic, “If Netanyahu loses reelection in Israel, and Democrats in the US win subpoena power in both chambers of Congress, all I can say is Jared Kushner is completely, totally, utterly, historically, spectacularly f*cked.”

I think the most important thing to remember about early voting data is that nobody really knows anything. I’d rather be us than them, but don’t get complacent. Go vote. Let’s win this fucking thing.
MAGA data guru Data Republican says the early vote data is so depressing for the GOP, she can’t share it with her audience.

BREAKING: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan have issued a joint declaration accusing Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories of being the FUNDAMENTAL SOURCE of instability across the Middle East, demanding an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Remember when Trump fired members of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for reporting the truth because it made him look bad? Nobody remembers but he fired them because they wouldn't cook the numbers. Months later, the truth comes out about jobs.
Economic analysis shows that the Trump admin claimed they added 1,200,000 new jobs to the economy in 2025. They later corrected this number down to only 116,000 jobs, a 90% drop from their initial number.

Help get @abdulelsayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it. Get involved and help at abdulforsenate.com/vote go.abdulforsenate.com We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too. We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries. That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next. Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells. Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it. #abdulelsayed #democracy #jewish #midterms

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

I dare you to condemn Jan 6th - described as terrorism by everyone from Trump’s FBI Director to Ted Cruz - right now. Go on.
Condemning terrorism should be easy. Apparently not for Abdul.

Facts matter. And the facts are Texas is suffering under Republican leadership.
What is going on in Texas? The current Texas Agriculture Commissioner said he voted for a Democrat for the first time in his life and that Abbott “needs to go”. This is absolutely wild.

Now we know why Trump fired the lady in charge of the jobs reports. He took liberties with the jobs data by rounding up by 90%. Now apply that to all the other bullshit financial data he’s been spewing for two years.
When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

A woman survives childhood abuse, becomes a doctor, and runs for governor. Republicans somehow decided the villain in that story was the woman.

I don't believe that Musk turned off Starlink to Ukraine at his own sole initiative. I believe Trump is implicated up to his painted eyebrows. But if it should be true that Musk did it - then Starlink and Space X must be nationalized by the US government immediately.
