But first. . .
Since the deal to reopen the government only lasts until the end of January, if Republicans continue to refuse to meet the health care needs of their constituents, could we do it again in a few weeks?
At the same time, we reopened the government and avoided tremendous hardship and economic damage. . .
. . . and indicate yes Those who want to feed poor children, seniors, and veterans on food stamps. . . yes Those who want people to have access to affordable health care. . . they are Those who oppose these things prefer tax cuts for billionaires, a $40 billion tax cut for Argentina.
(Not that I have anything against Argentina.)
If they don’t come to their senses and relent, let’s get back to fighting in January when they will need our votes again to keep the government open, showing that we are indeed giving them every opportunity to do the right thing.
No?
Apologies in advance if I’m being too stupid. I was in computer hell for most of the day.
bring freedom and justice to some
If you committed a crime for Trump or were able to bribe him sufficiently, you would be pardoned. If you oppose him, you will be prosecuted.
Judge Mark L. Wolfe put it beautifully:
Why I’m leaving federal bench
Just want to cry.
Felon released by Trump gets sentenced again, this time to 27 months
And (as you’ll find out if you have the time to read) he’s not the only one like this.
In my mind, losing a professional, apolitical Justice Department is ten thousand times more important than who uses which bathroom (does the federal government really need to get involved?) or Hunter Biden’s laptop (if there was something truly important in it, wouldn’t the Trump regime release it now?).

Big news for your brain
From your wonderful fellow readers, Jeff Zimman, co-founder of BrainHQ parent company Posit Science:
In case you missed it, I wanted to share big news about an NIH-funded study that has attracted widespread media attention around the world because of its Huge impact on aging and dementia.
A neuroimaging team at McGill University found Every day for 10 weeks Brain Headquarters Training Promoted a significant and substantial renaissance In the cholinergic system of the brain.
It is the system that produces acetylcholine (the “attention” chemical) when needed.
We have known for decades that this system becomes increasingly sluggish (down-regulated) with normal aging and declines dramatically with the onset of pre-dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
In fact, one of the most common classes of drugs used to treat Alzheimer’s disease—cholinesterase inhibitors like Aricept®—artificially inject acetylcholine into the brain to provide temporary relief but do not address the underlying slowness in its production.
BrainHQ just became The first intervention of any type was shown to upregulate acetylcholine production.
The up-regulation after 10 weeks of 30 minutes of BrainHQ training per day is approximately equal to the average down-regulation in older adults More than ten years. These gains continued 3 months after training.
control group Play attention-demanding online games (such as Solitaire and Candy Crush) in the same amount of time and no improvement.
As the researchers point out, What You do matter – it’s not enough to just stay mentally active.
This study provides a biochemical explanation of how BrainHQ rewires the brain and why BrainHQ is uniquely able to achieve the results of hundreds of studies. Its impact on aging, pre-dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is compelling, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded a new grant to conduct similar research in MCI (pre-dementia). Many other diseases are linked to deficiencies in brain chemicals, and BrainHQ is also designed to upregulate these chemicals, suggesting a new avenue for treatment.
I believe historians will see this research as key to developing interventions to address numerous health issues and help us all improve our optimal performance [e.g., Tom Brady].
