The incompetent quacks entrusted with overseeing our public health system have blocked hundreds of millions of dollars of mRNA vaccine research, based on pseudoscientific drivel.

Our money. The public’s money. Lifeblood for miracles like this one.

BECAUSE I’M A NERD, I receive the USPS’s quarterly magazine about stamps, USA Philatelic. There are so many cool stamp designs available or coming this year, including figures of the American revolution, bald eagles, and Harriet Powers’s quilts. Go write a letter and get you a cool stamp for it!

Once you adjust for family income, students who go to their neighborhood public schools do just as well as students who go to fancy private schools (and better than students who go to most charter schools!).

Pope Leo this week called universal health coverage a "moral imperative."

He also said: “Health cannot be a luxury for the few,” it is “an essential condition for social peace.”

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns

Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting

The World Is Too Much With Us The world is too much with us. Late and soon / it’s morning, phone in hand,

“Ad, ad, an AI figment, someone squawking, someone hawking—hours
consumed, of this only life, and who is left in the garden, who is tending the flowers?”

In less than 1 week, Trump has wasted more than $5 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars on his war of choice on Iran.

That money could have covered the cost of SNAP for more than 2 million Americans for a year.

There's always money for war and never money for human needs.

The declyne of readinge ys caused by manye thinges. A huge cause ys a systematic & decades-long devaluinge of literature at all levels of educacioun. We kan not put instrumentalitye above meaninge and still thrive. Fundinge the humanityes ys key to a just societye of well-informed citizens.

Some days require a quiet, four-hour feedback and emails block in the small hours. So glad I have a good sidekick to keep me company.

WATCH — “Per the Heritage Foundation’s own data, out of 2 billion votes cast since 1982… just 10 (!!) involved undocumented immigrants.”

Republicans are dismantling voting rights over a fake problem. The “SAVE” Act will only save Trump.

You can tickle the penguins
And get them to laugh
You can just sing a song
To amuse the giraffes
Just a little soft-shoe
Will delight the woodchucks
But try as you might
You can’t
