BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research?
RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI
B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant
In their defense, celery with peanut butter and raisins would have been yummier.
I love this.

I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

I need you all to remember ICE is still destroying families and assaulting people daily.
Don't forget to keep protesting.
My sister goes to Starbucks daily, for a big sugary quart of coffee. She’s diabetic. When I go with her I get Chai with oat milk and no sweetener. I am not diabetic. Maybe there’s a correlation?
Snuggle break!
Such a pretty kitty!
Get the church out of the state to protect both church and state.
This is a travesty for our Constitution. Democrats must take back the courts and get rid of the white supremacist judges destroying our country.

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.
Even worse when your work is stolen by a coworker who publishes it as his own. My boss knew and did nothing.
The entire Epstein regime needs to go to prison for life
That’ll be expensive. Folks will need a lot more days off. I hope they’re at least still offering it.
He's truly a fucking imbecile. His demise will be widely celebrated along with Trump.
The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...
A dwarf sunflower, the first of the year, is full grown and sunny in my small garden.
I’m growing sunflowers, does that count?
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
News Flash:
Our president is a fucking idiot.
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
I have been trying to move away from eating ultra processed food even though it is not something I tend to consume in large quantities. Unless you are a stay at home parent with lots of time to cook, I agree it can be very difficult.

Nice!
Thank you for following her directions. It’s truly the kindest thing you could do for her. But my prayers are with you both.
You got that right. And it’s always the little things that remind us that shatter us.

The sun just came out.
Listening to jazz on the AirPods.
And BOOM, now I have tears in my eyes for no discernible reason. I miss my dad. It's been two months.
This is what everyone talks about: grief being a glitter bomb that just goes off, huh.
He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.
