The difference between Republican gerrymandering and Democrat gerrymandering is Democrats let the voters decide and Republicans decide for the voters.

How.... how does helping the troops be LESS SICK weaken their war-fighting capabilities?! These people are so frigging ridiculous.

That isn't even funny. All it does is tell you he's someone who is corrupt and would rather save his own butt than tell the truth. And those people are all just laughing.

nearly all of these MAHA influencers are being compensated by tobacco companies, and very few disclose it. in many cases, they are marketing to children. nicotine pouches harm child brain development.

This used to happen to me a lot (salivary duct stones). What helped the most was a milkshake with a straw or my mother-in-law's PB cookies. 🤷‍♀️ I hope you find something that helps!

I genuinely thought this was a joke. I also genuinely WISH it was a joke.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

Ageing: the condition of becoming less serious about all you were once far too serious about and more serious about all that you once undervalued.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another.
