I've seen enough: in a major victory for the pro-choice side, Ohio Issue 1 (a measure to raise the threshold to pass a state constitutional amendment to 60%) fails.

Giant corporations are hiking prices on everyday necessities to juice their profits. They're getting away with it because they don't have to worry about losing customers.
We need to make it easier for smaller businesses to compete.

California won't be doing business with @walgreens -- or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women's lives at risk.

After death of girl yesterday, 12 more detected with H5N1 bird flu in Cambodia - Khmer Times khmertimeskh.com/501244375/a…

Not an article I wanted to write.
The deadly H5N1 bird flu is spreading widely, including to mammals.

We must act now.

BREAKING: We've introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and the irresponsible SCOTUS decisions that came before it.
Unrestricted dark money has no place in our elections or democracy. We need to return power to people. Once and for all.

California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy.

🤔Why does the diagnosis of Streptococcus bovis bacteremia immediately raise the specter of colon cancer?

Is S. bovis unique?

It then outcompetes resident enterococcal species.

This is a very important study done by researchers at the CDC on #corsirosenthalboxes and other DIY air cleaners. It found that they reduce aerosols by up to 73%. It is very meaningful to have this independent confirmation of effectiveness. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Ok, I’ve had it. I remained silent about Kyrsten Sinema for 10 years, but it’s time to break the silence.
