Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?

Drug-resistant strains rising fast.

A fragment of the last time we had a king. Tore down in 1776 and mostly melted into musket balls.
