She has the microphone. She has immunity. If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor. Silence isn’t caution. It’s a choice.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

Bill Barr had the reporter who broke the Epstein story surveilled. Nothing to see here, folks.

Because the American Healthcare Insurance system sucks and is broken on purpose, today was probably the last visit with my pelvic physical therapist. I still need help/ have progression left to make. This year I'm thankful for the PT and the GI doctor for helping me but it sucks to not continue

Gorgeous skills

John Gai carried his sick father to a nearby clinic in a wheelbarrow, but he died from cholera on the way. Gai then pushed the wheelbarrow for hours through the camp to take him to the cemetery: “Nobody should have to carry a dead body among the living.”

Netanyahu standing there thinking “the ways I have to demean myself just to kill more Palestinians”

FFS I don't dare read this before bed with his snake oil salesman face attached to the article. I hope against the odds it's not bad, but that face usually means it's impractical

I think I forgot #caterday yesterday. Here's one of the shelter cats I was working with this week. I feel like his opinion on people is fair.

TRL because the headline is why my inner 17's disgust with adults never went away ... And I'm curious if they did the legitimate reasons justice in the piece.

For my tbr pile

I was talking this morning about how the education shudder is the culmination of several things but no one ever acknowledges health damage in kids from repeated infections so this seems timely

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

Found the CBS feedback form. Left a message about Bari www.cbs.com/showfeedback...

Thank you dear traveler for waving me over to tell me that there was one working gas pump after all. Safe travels Sir. Safe travels all

Private Equity keeps purposely ruining things normal people need. Walgreens already had changed how it's pharmacy was running making it suck...

It's a government service. It's not supposed to make money. No one talks about the armed forces losing a trillion dollars every year. How much money did Congress lose last year? What was their revenue?

happy tuftmas y'all

I know everyone is dunking on #BariWeiss right now, but it is #Paramount CEO #DavidEllison who is her patron. Would love to see some blowback to this billionaire-handmaid to authoritarianism too.

Odds that the MRI place that forgot to submit to insurance for prior authorization gives me grief about my MRI safe mask today? Over-under? (I'm having anxiety because they caused me to have to pay out of pocket, so how do I trust the rest of it? Not usually anxious about non painful procedures.)

This victim told a driver that she couldn't report Trump raping her because "They will kill me." In 2021, another victim said that Epstein told her girls who don't behave are fed to alligators and took her where they die. He threatened to kill her and her son.

During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.   And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.   Shameful.

Same.

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Only 1 of the 153 was fully vaccinated.

1. New federal rules were released last week banning gender affirming care for youth at hospitals nationwide. Those rules don't go into effect until public comment, months from now. But it appears Sec. Kennedy is using an arcane process to try to implement them immediately. Our latest story.

On this 23rd day of Advent I remember the kiddos (who aren't so small anymore) but collected change with me years back to gift others, complete strangers, chicks and beehives. I invite you to go find one of the Heifer International projects that speaks to your heart. www.heifer.org

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.

Migraine means I can't remember what charities I have and haven't posted a link to yet. If you see this and comment with a charity name and link I'll reply eventually with cats. Thanks. Please participate.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

The Trump administration's latest attempt to completely defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a gift to predatory lenders, scammers, and other bad actors who try to cheat consumers.  I'm suing to stop this illegal effort and to preserve the CFPB.

More than 50 of the men sent to CECOT came to the US legally. They don’t want you to know this. They want to dehumanize these men. They want you to cheer for atrocities. Don’t do it. Basic human rights must extend to everyone, and they must include not being tortured.

US Interior Dept weakens sage-grouse protection to open more oil and mineral development reut.rs/4p4aGfv

It shouldn’t be possible but these people are more delusional about windmills than Don Quixote

Spent hours on the phone because someone with the MRI facility decided to hold onto insurance requests until 5 days before the procedure for authorization requests... But they KNOW it takes a MINIMUM of 5 BUSINESS DAYS to process... So Saturday and Sunday don't count but because y'all suck

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

The phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" originated in the 19th century to describe an impossible, absurd task, like lifting yourself by your own boot straps, often linked to tales of Baron Munchausen pulling himself from a swamp by his hair

Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff
