Tell your member of Congress: STOP FUNDING THE IRAN WAR! Our taxes should not be used for endless foreign wars!
I have an idea. If parents don’t get their children vaccinated and they get hospitalized for preventable disease, they pay double their deductible. If the only thing that incentivizes them to take care of their children is money, then make it so.

Some good environmental pledges from Magyar. He wants to end dependency on Russian energy by 2035, & double renewables by 2040. Plans to improve energy efficiency in 25% of homes within 10-15 years. Introduce strict enviro sanctions, increase recycling & stop supporting polluting foreign investors
Without energy efficiency, the EU would need — and pay — 31% more for energy today.

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.
Israel have murdered more journalists than died in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan combined....

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙
