    There are many, many more but I just got tired of typing hashtags. See Legacy Museum, Montgomery, Ala., for a more complete list of crap decisions

  4. President Biden just announced $150M in research spending for his cancer moonshot.

    To put that in perspective, a pro-Trump super PAC will spend $100M in the next few weeks trying to disparage Kamala.

    And AIPAC spent $100M trying to unseat progressives critical of Israel's war on Gaza.

    We need better priorities.

    And better campaign funding rules.

    Notice it did not address Congressional Corruption, or Political Campaign reform. Call me when they outlaw SPACs, and forbid Congress members & family owning stock/ ownership while legislating on behalf of those companies. I will actually cheer if they can outlaw #CorporateReform #WeakSauce #CitizensUnited
