Keep these monstrosities off our roads 🙅‍♂️

"US carmakers have accused Brussels of keeping their largest pick-up trucks, including the Ford F-150, the Chevy Silverado and the Ram 1500, off European roads”

Alzheimer's Risk Gene Alters Brain Activity Early – But It May Be Reversible

Carrying one or two copies of the APOE4 gene variant significantly increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's, and a new study reveals how APOE4 can change neuron activity – potentially many years before symptoms such as memory loss start showing.

Not a single Republican in Congress has spoken out to condemn Trump’s genocidal threats. They are all as fascist as he is.

Normally I'd be more excited about a moon mission, but I'd vastly prefer if any other nation was doing it. Can't really care about it when the US is bombing civilian bridges in Iran and then bombing the first responders (and as of today, apparently announcing genocide. Not their first time, I guess).

#Trump admin seeks to halt #SNAP #food #aid payments after a #CourtOrder

Trump’s admin asked a federal appeals court Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly SNAP benefits amid a #US govt #shutdown, even as at least some states said they were moving quickly to get the money to people.

Supreme Court issues order to block full SNAP payments

The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown. A judge had given the Republican administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But the administration asked an appeals court to suspend any court orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund. After the appeals court declined to immediately intervene, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement to distribute full SNAP payments until the appeals court rules on whether to issue a more lasting pause.
