MENLO PARK, Calif., February 2, 2022 – “We applaud President Biden for reigniting the Cancer Moonshot and highlighting the critical role of early detection in achieving the ambitious, but attainable, goal of reducing the cancer death rate by at least 50 percent in the next 25 years. Improving quality of life for patients and survivors, while addressing inequities in access to cancer screening, diagnostics and treatment is a critical part of the plan. Importantly, the President’s plan recognizes that the rigorous study of multi-cancer detection blood tests, to date, has brought us to a crucial inflection point where detecting many cancers at once is now an essential pillar of any effort to end cancer as we know it today.”
“In partnership with preeminent cancer institutions across the country, we validated the science behind our MCED technology and, in 2021, introduced Galleri® as a prescription only test for adults with an elevated risk of cancer, including those age 50 and older. As a result, today, we can detect more than 50 types of cancer, including in early stages, using a simple blood draw, vastly expanding the benefits of screening to more cancers and more people. We look forward to continuing our evidence generation with scientific and clinical partners and engaging with policymakers and the cancer stakeholder community so that more Americans can benefit from this paradigm shift in early cancer detection.”

The clips I've been seeing of Tucker's 'documentary' reminds me of the 'Monkey Gland Man'
One hundred years ago, there was a doctor who was performing surgeries for wealthy businessmen that were purported to rejuvenate ageing bodies.

"GOP Forced To Amend Bill That Would Have Legalized Child Marriage In Tennessee"
Chris' hammering of Tennessee's Marsha Blackburn in this clip is rightfully brutal.
Well done, Chris!

"Alabama Governor Signs Law Banning Transgender Medication"
"Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has enacted a sweeping law that bans gender-affirming medication for transgender youth and includes criminal penalties for doctors who prescribe it."

Cruelty for the sake of votes. As the grandfather of a fine young trans kid, I am disgusted by these ploys, that claim to be 'protecting the children'.
Republicans in TN are trying to push a law that would result in NO AGE LIMIT for marriage???
"A GOP-backed bill in Tennessee would eliminate any age requirements for marriage, a move that critics are calling hypocritical amid baseless Republican accusations that the LGBTQ+ community is attempting "groom" and "sexualize" school children.
H.B. 233 gives Tennesseans "an alternative form of marriage" between individuals who have a "conscientious objection to the current pathway," according to state Rep. Tom Leatherwood, the bill's Republican sponsor.
As WKRN reported, the GOP bill, first introduced in January, establishes a common-law marriage between "one man" and "one woman" but omits any age requirements for the union, an omission that Democrats have blasted."

Unbelievable. And I honestly don't understand the 'reasoning' behind this bill -- so that people can have an alternative method of marrying, as a protest against same-sex marriage???
And it will be enough
Several years ago, one of my co-workers who followed the Limbaugh type stuff on the radio,
asked me one day, with an excited look in his eyes, what were some of the Liberal talk shows on the radio. I guess I should have been flattered; was I the representative of the Left-wing faction in our department?
I assume that he wanted a list so that he could start doing some call-ins, and become known as the Slayer of the Left. I honestly thought, and after a minute, answered, "Uh .... WPLN?"
My co-worker looked crestfallen; had I caught on to his plans, and stubbornly refused to give him anything but my name, rank, and NPR member station?
I went home and thought about it. Do we even HAVE Left-wing radio shows? Do we have some ranting, frothing-at-the-mouth, anti-evangelist hero of the airwaves?
Speaking as the recognized representative of the Left-wing faction of my department, I just don't think that's our style. We don't have that fanatical fervor to browbeat unbelievers into coming over to our side.
Which is alright. Stay informed (NPR? DemocraticUnderground?), support your candidates, vote in all elections, and contribute time in some way to you local community. And it will be enough.
Jane Mayer: "Legal Scholars are Shocked by Ginni Thomas's 'Stop the Steal' Texts"
I thought this was a great article on why Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from ANY case before the Supreme Court involving the Jan6 Insurrection, the Jan6 investigation, or any case involving TFG!
“she actively insinuated herself in the events through her texts to Meadows, and perhaps more extensively.” Gillers continued, “That’s enough to require her husband to abstain from participation in any case in which her actions might be further revealed.” Justice Thomas, he said, clearly “has an understandable interest in protecting” his wife. For that reason alone, Gillers explained, “his impartiality might reasonably be questioned, which the law says requires recusal.” More broadly, Gillers argued, “Ginni became part of the team seeking to overturn the election. That team expressly identified, as a critical part of its strategy, appeals to the Supreme Court, and therefore to Clarence.” He added, “Ginni chose to make herself part of the story that the Trump side, her side, would then ask the Court, including her husband, to interpret in its favor.”

I vote we send the U.S. trucker convoy to Ukraine to face off the Russian convoy heading to Kyev
Those truckers are so eager to fight 'Tyranny'!
"Utah US man told four-year-old to fire at officers over McDonald's dispute - police"
"Investigators believe a man told his four-year-old child to fire a gun at officers following a dispute over his order at a McDonald’s drive-thru in suburban Salt Lake City on Monday, police said.
An officer was able to swipe at the gun as it was fired, directing the bullet away."
"The officer who swiped the gun to the side as it was fired also yelled “kid” to other officers after seeing how young the shooter was, Cutler said."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/22/utah-man-mcdonalds-drive-thru-child-shoot-officers
This asshole could have got his two kids, ages 4 and 3, killed in a hail of bullets, all because McDonalds got his order wrong.
