@HarvySixpack @jdpoc Nice redefining of 'landslide' from 20% + win (see Nixon v McGovern) to 'a plurality of votes cast'

@deanhsjones @MAGAmutiny @Victorshi2020 No worries! I'd do far worse with Japanese history! You got the essence right, and (too) many Americans confuse Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson despite their classes in American history

@deanhsjones @MAGAmutiny @Victorshi2020 Mostly accurate, but it was President Andrew *Johnson* who canceled 40 acres and a mule. Andrew Jackson died before the Civil War began.

@ShereeWokeAF I'm so sorry! Makes my blood boil. My entire life I thought we were an imperfect nation, but committed to making progress, and getting there, though too slowly. Now I find that too many are unrepentant racists. Worse, those with the most demand more still. Elon Musk is Exhibit A.

@SecRubio The way forward is to build relationships & understanding, even with those you disagree with. This isn't the kind of 'leadership' I want to see from the Secretary of State of the USA.

@Comm_Invest There was a study out of Harvard Med School ~10 years ago showing that EPA component of Omega3 fish oil has a significant effect in reducing systemic inflammation, with a huge benefit for those at risk of cardiac disease. Been taking 3 gr/day for 5+ years.

@badjin_rank Nope. The Foreign Assistance Act was passed by Congress in *September* 1961, & THEN Kennedy issued Executive Order 10973 in *November* 1961. The program was CREATED by Congress, then implementation was shaped by Executive Order 10973. Trump--& Musk--cannot dissolve USAID by EO.
