[Was part of a project to rank & classify nuclear threats around the world. Still in use last time I checked.

More speculative, but also helped identify & quantify impact of cancer around the world, esp. in developing countries; as a result, the WHO — that one — shifted some attention to & began raising more funds for chronic disease management over NCDs.]

Sen. #RonJohnson, a #RussianAsset masquerading as a US Senator, has emerged from his #dacha to express outrage over #federalSpending. Talk about a one-trick pony! Whenever scum like Johnson are desperate to distract attention away from their failures as human beings, they complain about spending. But, when they're in charge, suddenly there's no problem, and it's time for more tax cuts for the wealthy!

The legislation, which was publicly released Sunday evening, accomplishes much for President #Biden & House Speaker #KevinMcCarthy, enabling both to tout a victory that appeared elusive just days ago.

For Biden, the deal avoids the headache of another #DebtCeiling debate this term, while staving off Republican demands for steep cuts to #DomesticSpending. McCarthy gets a deal that curtails #FederalSpending & increases some work requirements in #FederalAid programs, such as #FoodStamps.
