If you become “unleased” in a home I own…you’re getting evicted.
Replying to @JannDallas
I entered legally, became undocumented, have my own Social Security number, and pay taxes. You could’ve googled how that works for free, but I guess sounding this damn stupid in public was free too.
Unpopular opinion: Show me an award for extraordinary heroism, and I will show you a 50% chance a tactical level leader never should’ve gotten the unit in the situation in the first place

Will be interesting to see what actually improves.
We will ensure that America’s warriors get all the benefits they deserve.
That is why I am directing @DOWCFO to begin a comprehensive transformation of our military pay systems.
We will put patriots over paperwork.

You know why people are questioning the Vitamin K shot for newborns? Because it used to be JUST the vitamin K shot. Then, after 30 years, it became Vitamin K + Hepatitis B. Then, after 30 more years, it became Vitamin K + Hep B + RSV. ALL AT BIRTH.
Yes, people question it now.
If requiring proof of citizenship or immigration status will result in displacing tens of thousands of residents from HUD housing, then the thing that never happens is happening again.
Public housing residents must prove immigration status under new HUD rule, possibly displacing thousands cbsn.ws/48iYGAU

I don’t always agree with Kinzinger, but this is perhaps the dumbest thing I’ve read in awhile.

Maybe everyone should have No Internet November and just chill. This was clearly a joke, and a good one. Summer down now.
The most consistently insufferable and irrelevant neo con accounts on here are now having a full blown tantrum because I made a mild joke about AOL. That’s not even an exaggeration. That’s actually what they’re angry about. Click through the QTs. There isn’t some horrible thing at the end of it that I’m trying to paper over. Literally a joke about AOL, directed at Mark Levin not some random old granny (although maybe he qualifies, admittedly).

New “settled science” banger just dropped

Every time someone quotes an outrageous headline, there’s usually a story behind the data. Vit K, Hep B, RSV… the data tells the real story in these “studies.” Context matters.
"Babies who skip the vitamin K shot have a 47% higher risk of bleeding."
That's the headline from the new JAMA study.
Here's what 47% actually means in real numbers.
Out of 100 babies who GOT the shot, about 2 had a bleeding event recorded in their first 6 months.
Out of 100 babies who did NOT get the shot, about 3 did.
That's the 47%. 2 versus 3.
And "bleeding event" means ANY bleeding diagnosis in the chart. Not just brain bleeds.
Now what the headlines skipped:
The researchers used medical billing records.
They could NOT tell which babies got oral vitamin K instead of the shot. Those babies were counted as "no vitamin K."
They did not account for the mother's medications that can raise a baby's bleeding risk.
And bleeding rates went up EVERY year- in babies who got the shot too. The authors couldn't say why.
Does that mean vitamin K doesn't matter? No.
Vitamin K deficiency bleeding is rare and it is serious. Both are true.
It means parents deserve the real numbers- not a scary percentage built to sell a headline.
You can choose the shot. You can choose oral. You can decline.
