Anybody else still curious who planted the pipe bombs, disabled Mike Pence’s key card, removed the panic button in Ayanna Presley’s office, and shared the locations of non-reinforced Capitol windows?

@HiwayRobyn @Geldium @breadandcircuses I’ve been vegan for over 10 years now and yearly check values, they’re fine. B12 is added to several vegan substitutes, or vegan milk and yoghurt. The same way B12 is supplemented to cattle and livestock because they don’t get it naturally from the soil anymore. So it’s all supplemented, whether you get it from meat or substitutes or milk or pills 🙂. It’s generally a good idea to check your B12 every year or so, no matter what you eat.

Jewish groups denounce RFK Jr's comments which feed into antisemitic conspiracy theories. https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/15/politics/rfk-jr-covid-jewish-groups/index.html

@AlliFlowers @marcelias yeah, ‘semite’ is a race term for middle eastern descent, so we say an antisemite doesn’t like Jews because non-Jews considered Jews racially different. Now we say not. I’m old enough to have lived through the transition.

@kevincollier Wow, funny how debt wasn't an issue for Brett Kavanaugh.

This is truly jaw-dropping. Absolutely no one's doubting her credentials. A young Black woman already doing the job of acting National Cyber Director can't get formally Senate confirmed in that role because she has debt?

Nashville’s WTVF has published an explosive piece about newly elected Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles (R).

The Congressman allegedly invented his entire past and resume. He lied about:

1. Being an economist
2. His college major
3. His work at a think tank
4. Being in law enforcement
5. Being an internationally recognized sex-trafficking expert
6. Being the COO of an international organization

Russia just officially erased trans people, and in the name of Christianity no less.

The Duma passed and Putin signed legislation that bans trans medical care as well as adoptions by trans people. And they also not only banned marriage and ID changes, but legislated any that already exist all be reversed.

"The Russian state now designates transgender people as 'enemies of the people'"

American Republicans must be so jealous of their master.

A termite walks into a bar and asks “Is the bar tender here?”

Let's be clear. SARS-CoV-2 is an atrociously bad virus. It can damage any number of organ systems, increases risk for all kinds of illnesses, and is causing a mass disabling event. And that's just what we know about it so far. You do not want to get it, and if you've had it you don't want it again.

Two years ago, American working families began receiving their Child Tax Credit deposits in their bank accounts. This benefit resulted in the largest poverty reduction in US history. A BIG deal.

We should reinstate the Child Tax Credit. There is no good argument against it.

NEW: Mississippi removed 29,000 people from its Medicaid rolls in June—accounting for 44% of those who were up for renewal—after the COVID Public Health Emergency order ended.

Many more mostly low-wage workers will lose Medicaid in the months to come and many will be left in the coverage gap. Mississippi is one of just 10 states that chose not to accept billions to expand Medicaid—which could cover 100,000-300,000 residents.
