@SenSanders This is the govt education that @BernieSanders is so adamant about forcing on Ohio children. 65% of Ohio children are functionally illiterate, and almost half of adults.

@Ogeidybba1 @outbreakupdates Bird flu doesn’t easily spread to people. Scientists changed it (gain-of-function) to see if it could. But they needed special mice with human-like traits to test it. So, they made those mice, then sent them to China for more experiments. Sounds risky, right?

With a budget resolution and reconciliation bill in the news, here’s a short guide to understanding the numbers coming from Congress and the White House: A “$2 trillion cut” is not a cut from current fiscal year spending. In fact, it’s likely not a “cut” at all. It’s an unenforceable promise to reduce total expected spending by $2 trillion OVER TEN YEARS. To put this in context, if the government had been expecting to spend $89 trillion over the next ten years, it would be PROMISING to spend $87 trillion instead, a difference so insignificant it wouldn’t come close to staving off a debt crisis. Keep in mind that government officials today can’t bind government officials in the future. That’s why it’s just a promise. But it’s even worse than that. As weak as the promise is—spending about 2% less over ten years—it’s nonetheless a promise few in government intend to keep. The same Congress and White House that brag about this illusory “cut” today will simply abandon the idea within a cycle or two. And here’s another important thing to understand about the numbers: When Congress passes—and the president signs into law—a $2 trillion appropriations bill, the SPENDING DOES HAPPEN in the current fiscal year. In other words, the $2 trillion of spending is a real thing that will happen this year, while the “$2 trillion cut” is just a promise, which, even if realized, would not on its own mean an actual cut in the size or scope of government, just a reduction in its expected growth.

Today I lost 250 lbs by committing to eat only 1 KitKat bar a day instead of 2, over the next 10 years. How should I celebrate?

$2,812.5 each. This is literally inflation money. It will only make things worse for everyone. The very temporary short term benefit will be swept away with increased rents and taxes. Also: Why do we even elect people when appointed judges can just order the govt to do anything?
"Gov. Mike DeWine ordered by judge to ask for $900 million in unclaimed Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation funds that Ohio turned down in 2021."

@TheDemocrats have moved so far progressive, they don't even recognize a literal Kennedy Democrat. IF JFK were alive today, he would be a Libertarian.
RFK has been confirmed as Health & Human Services Secretary. A man who has spent years pushing dangerous conspiracies, attacking vaccines, and undermining public health now sits as the chief health official in our country. This is a major step backwards.

@oclibertarians We must thoroughly discredit "aspirational lawmaking." The age of wishful thinking must end.

@oclibertarians Well, atchually much of that military spending was shoved into civilian cloths like lipstick on a pig. 🐷 Almost every alphabet agency has its origins in WWII or Korea. 🤷♀️

@SavannahLMaddox Thank you! REAL ID has been a scam. It was billed to conservatives in Congress as a way to keep illegals from flying, going to a courthouse, or driving a car. I’m sorry for my colleagues who fell for that nonsense. If REAL ID was real, you wouldn’t need E-verify (the next scam).
