I also do tons of research ahead of time so I already know if they are bullshitting me

We always let them deal with me first because "oh im sorry I cant sign anything until my husband sees this."😂😂😂 They pretty much know right off the rip no one is signing a contract that day ever and if they are too pushy no one is signing a contract ever ever

Ours unfortunately was a totally cut and dry case...horizontal crack most of the way down one side...the previous owner had done quite a cover up job so we didnt know when we bought it and there was no way to inspect. Kevlar strips embedded now and all things putting pressure on it were remedied

Yes our job was extensive because had a bowed wall that needed repaired as well. Everything was replaced because we didnt want to deal with water ever again

Just sent you a DM with who we used. Never said the word sump pump

Public pools used to be everywhere in America. Then racism shut them down. In her new book, “The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together,” Heather McGhee looks at how racism drained not only public pools, but also public support for universal he...

When people ask me why the US is like this, I tell them about the disappearance of public pools after the civil rights act. White supremacists would rather sweat to death than share a cooling dip near a black person. That's why we're like this.

I am so sorry for your loss. This is a pain we know too well and my heart breaks for you. May he zoomie his way over the Rainbow Bridge💔🐶❤️

Maybe I need to stay on the noodle and toast diet when I get through these 10 days😂😂😂

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

I dont think there's been a day in years where ive been at ease and I have no idea why today was the day where I got a few seconds. It honestly made me paranoid something really bad was going to happen today because it was so out of place from normal

Too Many Parents Fail To Teach Their Sons This Vital Skill — And The Consequences Are Dire. Strategies for parents who want to help their sons cope with feelings of anger in a productive way.

“You can feel whatever you want to feel, but you can’t always do whatever you want to do.” What you’re trying to teach is it's absolutely OK to feel angry and express that you feel angry. It is not OK to act out on that anger in an aggressive way. #BlackskyNews

I had a strange experience this morning and im not sure if its the antibiotics or what but I got out of bed this morning and had the strangest feeling of completely and totally being at ease. For like 10 seconds all the arthritis and other stuff was gone and it freaked me out. All normal again now

Lets go Virginia!!! Vote Yes on Redistricting!!! Republicans have been quick to chastise Dems for this but were quiet as church mice when texas did this...
Donald started this, let's make him regret ever starting a fight and not expecting the people to fight back!

Elias Law Group is currently litigating 87 voting and election cases in 44 states and the District of Columbia. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of free and fair elections and democracy is on the docket.

What the Dem platform for 2028 must be:
1. Epstein Trials
2. ICE Trials
3. War Crimes Tribunals

We don’t want to hear about a $10,000 tax credit for starting new AI businesses.

We demand JUSTICE.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Where U.S. science has been hit hardest after Trump’s first year The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Those of us doing research related to women’s health have been hit particularly hard by the govt’s sabotage of the NIH. I spoke to WaPo for this piece, as painful as it was to discuss the reality my lab is facing. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

Doesn't matter how you were raised. Unlearn your racism. Unlearn your misogyny. Unlearn your homophobia. You're an adult now.

This. Unlearn that shit.

But don't stop there. Don't accept this stuff from anyone else. Don't coddle bigots. Call the out. Educate them. Shame them. Whatever it takes to make this shit stop.

Because we are DROWNING in this shit right now and civilization won't survive if we don't stop it all.

Food banks are not part of a safety net. they are proof we do not have a safety net.

The slogan “Be the C Diff” definitely didn’t land the way the Cavs thought it would lol

With all of this, it is key to understand that ALL of this research - including salaries for graduate students, postdocs, staff, faculty, etc. and consumables - HAVE to be covered by grants.

There is _no_ support from host institutions to ensure research continues or jobs are saved. None.

Not just ID work. Other fields are headed in a similar direction, just a bit behind that schedule.

Grant awards trickling out create just enough hope to avoid outcry, but the underlying structures are being eaten away and things won’t go back to how they were without big, positive action.

Dear Member of Congress: The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA) are deeply grateful for the longstanding bipartisan support from Congress for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We want to inform you of current and likely impacts of delays and changes in funding policies and procedures for NIH grants. Our concerns relate to the following areas within NIH: • Massive reduction in notice of funding opportunities • Delays in funding processes and inadequate capacity to administer grants • Increase in forward funding of multiyear awards in year one • Delays and potential lapses in funding for large clinical trial networks and clinical trial units Lack of transparency around permitted international collaborative partners for research projects • Disproportionate impact of grant terminations on vulnerable populations, especially women and people of color

U.S. infectious disease research is on the brink. Without immediate action from Congress, much of it will cease to exist within a year.

For example👇

1️⃣ No collaborative RFAs posted for >1 year (normal: many / year).
2️⃣ No foreign collaborators allowed on grants.

This is truly despicable behavior from @VivekGRamaswamy .

@amyactonoh is a survivor who pulled herself out of abuse and poverty to become a doctor and to serve Ohioans.

Ramaswamy has just revealed all we need to know.
