Yeah, par for the course for Hannity and anything fox news related, misleading headline and quote, from a misleading non-answer by Trump that's so all over the place it's hard to follow. Even the tiny little portion they clipped out, he goes on to say he has "every right" to go after Biden if elected.
Look, when this election is over, based on what they’ve done, I would have every right to go after them, and it’s easy, because it’s Joe Biden and you see all the criminality, all of the money that’s going into the family and him, all of this money from China, from Russia, from Ukraine
And his accusations that Biden is directing his prosecution (especially ridiculous when two of the cases are state cases) are all projection anyways to distract from the fact that he's already tried to interfere at the justice department many times when he was president.

Such a short memory Trump has. So yes, it is very true, and he's already tried to do it many times. I know you're probably a troll posting misinformation, this comment is for anyone else reading.
They do leave the body over time, but the half life is very long, like 3-10 years depending on the specific one.
Blood levels of many of them have fallen a lot since the year 2000ish as some were phased out, though of course there's dangers of more being made.

There's also new rules going in effect 2025 to require them to be removed from tap water if present, using a different process called ion exchange. The method described in the article is a way of destroying them once they're removed, so a way to treat high pfa level waste basically.

Horrible how multiple companies like 3M and Dupont were covering up their dangers for years. $10 billion doesn't seem like nearly enough in damages.

Especially when the costs of keeping it out of affected drinking water systems alone is expected to be $1.5 billion, per year.
Yes. By all means primary one of those democrats who voted for this out if you can, but if you got to the general election and the choice was between a pro Israel Republican and pro Israel Democrat, it would still be way better to pick the dem.
100% of house Republicans voted for this, while only 20% of house Democrats did. Right now the Republicans control what bills come to the floor for a vote since they have a majority. If Democrats had the majority and controlled the speakership, this bill never would have even come up for a vote in the first place since so few in their caucus support it overall. A pro Israel dem is not ideal, but at least helps ensure the 100% pro Israel (and a bajillion other reasons for being horrible besides this issue) Republicans don't control the agenda for what bills come up in the house and senate.
No, because that's not an infectious disease like a virus or bacteria. It's an allergy your body develops to a specific carbohydrate (alpha gal) found in pretty much all mamallian meat except apes/humans. A specific chemical in the lone star tick saliva triggers it, so you just need to get bit. There's no virus or bacteria to vaccinate against.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_syndrome
There is a canine vaccine for lyme disease (different tick species). Human vaccine used to exist but was pulled from market, might be a new one soon though. There are unfortunately other diseases besides lyme disease though that ticks can carry, including rocket mountain spotted fever and anaplasmosis. And while lone star ticks (the meat allergy ones), don't tend to transmit lyme disease, they can transmit other diseases, unrelated to the meat allergy issues.
His aim here is to provide cover for the politicians that actually do want to and have attempted to weaponize federal law enforcement in the past, Trump and other Republicans.
I could go on. So many instances where he ordered law enforcement officials to launch baseless investigations to harass his political opponents. Even Barr of all people at one point was threatening to resign because of how far Trump had gone! The guy explicitly brought in by Trump because he felt Jeff Sessions wasn't directly doing his bidding enough.
All this while simultaneously trying to delegitimize our entire justice system trying to hold Trump and his cronies liable for their many criminal activities over the past eight years.
Gaslight, obstruct, and project.
Definitely heading for a Russian style "democracy" if the gop is allowed to return to power.
To be, or not to ble
Damnit he was so close, start again
Yes it's using a shaky interpretation of an older law from the 50s to derive its authority, good chance a court challenge would be successful against the order, if the order is able to even change much on its own at all with the lack of funding as you pointed out.
Importantly one of the Republican arguments against attempts at any immigration reform has been, "Biden could just do what we want right now with existing laws, so we refuse to compromise with the democrats on anything or pass a new immigration law, Biden can just shut everything down right now with no action on congress's part." So if a court strikes this order down would undercut that argument at least. Would also make me happy, since I don't support this order.
Improving access to legal immigration and improving thoroughput of asylum claims processing are what's necessary.
Just to be clear, this was a primary election within the pro state hood party (PNP), who tend a little toward the republican side, ironically given the national Republican's party obstruction of consideration of Puerto Rico state hood. So even the democrats within that party will tend toward the conservative side. The other major party PPD is in general in favor of continuing the status quo as a US territory, or some advocating for independence with a free association with the US. This party tends to lean a little more toward the democrats.
Both of the two major parties have Democrats and Republicans in them though, and are more defined based on views of Puerto Rico's status in regards to the rest of the US. There are also some significant larger additional parties.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_party_strength_in_Puerto_Rico
Anyways, that was why both candidates are pro state hood, it's the primary for the pro state hood party. And as someone else pointed out, Democrat vs Republican is too simple of a way to view the political situation.
I know it's a shit post, but for anyone not aware the FBI used to assist in the persecution of lgbt people and engage in all sorts of surveillance including infiltrating lgbt rights organizations.

So it's not only a shit post, but a shit post pointing out some very important recent history.
I have this other weird idea. What if like, politicians don't commit crimes instead? And if they do commit a crime, they go to jail. How about that?
mulling use of a 1952 law that allows access to the American asylum system to be restricted.
Someday givessomefucks will learn the difference between a law and executive order. Today is not this day though.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump campaign released an ad campaign tomorrow that looked like this with no hint of irony:
Who even had his charity shut down for fraud. Too many scams to keep track of.
Dog twitching movements in sleep are really common and usually normal, see below:
https://www.rover.com/uk/blog/do-dogs-dream/
Sometimes they do even more complex movements or bark. Sleep barks can sound pretty adorable. The twitches can also sometimes be more of a rippling across a muscle.
Here's a couple examples from YouTube:

When in doubt, could always film it and show your vet.
Well they certainly have a leg up and don't go to jail as often as they should, politicians do go to jail sometimes. Easy to find federal politicians that have on this list:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_federal_politicians_convicted_of_crimes
But yeah I'll be surprised if Trump ever actually ends up behind bars.
Regardless of whether or not a president pardoning themself is possible, he can't pardon himself of new york state crimes. Governor Hochul/executive clemency bureau are the only ones that could do that.
Apparently, assuming he's voting in Florida, for an out of state felony they use the other state's rules to determine if he can vote. For New York, you can vote unless you are in prison for a felony (people on parole can vote). So unfortunately unless he's thrown in jail, he'll probably be able to vote for himself in Florida.
But hey maybe he goes to jail for something finally. That'd be nice.
Oh yes absolutely op's x chromosome is expressed. I just meant unlike all the other chromosomes where in general both gene copies on both chromosomes are expressed, in xx individuals usually one of the x chromomes is inactivated and only one of them is being expressed at a time. The x chromosome has many essential genes. This is why we have x linked genetic diseases as well. Often xx individuals are just carriers or more mildly affected since they have two x chromosomes, and xy individuals are more severely affected since they have no backup copies of that gene.
Yes it's a little ridiculous. At least the "light truck" mpg requirement is getting increased too, though not as much as the car one:
