Nicotine is a CO-CARCINOGEN. By itself, it doesn't cause cancer. However, it can actively accelerate the growth, survival & spread of existing cancer cells. It can stimulate microtumors to recruit blood vessels, block natural anticancer immune response & interfere with programmed cell death.

Have you ever missed an important deadline? Or didn't understand what you needed to do so ignored it? Imagine your surprise when 10 masked men broke down your door, handcuffed you and put you in prison. Talk about weaponization! Talk about lawfare! The master weaponizer is weaponizing ALL OF US!

In what fairytale does a govt hire-on commit a paper crime against a citizen and the whole system comes up w/idea to dig deep into its pocketbook to make nice with aggrieved victim. None. Govt finds/prosecutes bad guy, sends form letter to victim and that's that. No flowers, no candy. No cash/deals.

"They" didn't leak Trump's tax returns. A contractor leaked Trump's returns while Trump was president and Biden's DOJ indicted and convicted the leaker!

Trump swore that he wanted to release his tax return and when it came out that it wasn't embarrassing to him at all. So, he suffered no financial or reputational harm from the leak and shouldn't be eligible for any damages.

Farmers!!!! See how much he supports agriculture??? You guys and all your families and grandchildren were taken for a very big ride.

He has about as much compassion for police and emergency responders as he has for soldiers. He likes the attention, the excitement, the uniforms and the gadgets they use but thinks he's smarter and could do better than any of them, and so sees them as losers. As he has said.

Know who this guy is, know what he wants to use OUR money for, know that Donald and his enablers are all in favor of it. Once YOU know, make sure everyone you know knows it, too!

As you read about Trump stealing $1.8 billion in our money to pay off terrorists who tried to overthrow the government, consider that 3 million Americans have already lost ACA healthcare coverage & 19 million more are paying thru the nose to keep theirs. charlesgaba.substack.com/p/new-series...

When is the protest? This is intolerable.

Between the creation of the $1.7 billion dollars slush fund and Trump coercing Polis into commuting a state sentence against Tina Peters by threatening to withhold federal funds, we are in deep trouble. State charges are the last bulwark against MAGA crime.

Isn't this crazy? How many men would take that risk? Probably fewer than women would.

What if we banned prostate cancer screenings/therapy on the (make-believe) basis that it interferes with the procreation of humankind. If a man gets cancer, oh well. He takes his chances. And by the way--in this hypothetical drama--sexuall relations can lead to the problem or make it worse. OK guys?

I wonder how many men would sign on to risk a physical condition that might require a medical intervention to save their lives. One in five known US pregnancies end in miscarriage, which may require a D&C to prevent a life-threatening infection. No one should have to worry about getting that care.

I had a D&C in January for a biopsy. It saved my life otherwise I would now have cervical cancer (had a complete hysterectomy in March). Banning abortion also bans the medical procedure being used for other purposes.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The good thing about T is there can't be a more obnoxious, ignorant, demanding, threatening, corrupt or nastier person on the face of the earth, so he makes the rest of us look really, really good. So don't worry! Be your best self! And, hand out some well-earned head pats to those who need them.

Why does the Washington Post online version no longer have a DMV Crime & Safety page, as if I need to ask?

I thought we had a POTUS medical team to take care of the VIP elected official but also to keep us assured and informed of his ability to do the job. Aren't the docs working for US? Or are they just his own very expensive personal physicians? How long will they string us along before they act?

We've sanitized and trivialized mental illness so long we no longer know what it looks like or acts like. If he were bleeding all over the stage, someone would respond. But, no. We make jokes. We make excuses. We can't imagine what he could do to make us act because he's never done it. But he will.

In WashPost A1 on Trump in China, T's right hand is on host's back as T ntroduces host to US team. That one gesture shifts power from host to Trump, putting Trump in top-dog position. This gesture probably goes back to FredTrump101: Handbook of Consiglieri Skills. Suddenly, he's leading the show.
