Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, now called X, the Biden administration was directing Twitter to censor or cancel different accounts by name, including those of everyday Americans, members of Congress, small business owners, veterans, journalists, and nonprofit leaders. After all I’d experienced, it didn’t surprise me in the least to see my name on the list. I noticed a common thread among many names on the list—we were all in some way critical if or challenging the Biden administration’s positions and actions.

Using Tulsi Leaves for High Blood Pressure: Types, Benefits

Introduction to Tulsi Leaves (Holy Basil): Tulsi leaves, scientifically known as Ocimum sanctum, are a staple in traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda. Originating from India, these leaves have a long history of medicinal use and cultural significance, often considered sacred. Tulsi is recognized for its diverse health benefits, ranging from immune support to stress reduction and cardiovascular health.

Types and Forms of Tulsi

Tulsi leaves come in various forms, each offering unique benefits:

1. Fresh Tulsi Leaves:

These are commonly used in cooking for their aromatic flavor, imparting a peppery and slightly sweet taste to dishes.

2. Dried Tulsi Leaves: 

Used both for culinary purposes and in preparing herbal teas, dried tulsi leaves retain their therapeutic properties and are convenient for everyday use.

3. Tulsi Essential Oil

Extracted from the leaves, tulsi essential oil is valued in aromatherapy for its calming effects and is used topically or in diffusers to promote relaxation and mental clarity.

Health Benefits of Tulsi Leaves

Beyond its culinary uses, tulsi leaves offer a plethora of health benefits, particularly in the context of cardiovascular health and blood pressure regulation:

1. Antihypertensive Properties

Tulsi contains compounds like eugenol, ursolic acid, and rosmarinic acid, which have been studied for their ability to lower blood pressure. These compounds act by dilating blood vessels (vasodilation), thereby reducing resistance to blood flow and lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings.

2. Stress Reduction: 

As an adaptogenic herb, tulsi helps the body adapt to stressors by regulating cortisol levels and supporting adrenal function. Chronic stress is a significant contributor to hypertension, and tulsi's stress-relieving properties can indirectly aid in managing blood pressure.

3. Antioxidant Action: 

Tulsi leaves are rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids (orientin and vicenin) and polyphenols. These compounds neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cells from damage. Oxidative stress is linked to endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, both of which contribute to hypertension.

4. Anti-inflammatory Effects: 

Chronic inflammation in blood vessels can lead to hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Tulsi's anti-inflammatory properties help reduce inflammation markers, improving vascular health and supporting optimal blood pressure levels.

5. Improvement in Lipid Profiles: 

Studies suggest that tulsi consumption can lead to improvements in lipid profiles by lowering LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels while increasing HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol). These lipid profile improvements are beneficial for overall cardiovascular health and can help manage hypertension.

6. Endothelial Support: 

The endothelium is the inner lining of blood vessels and plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow and blood pressure. Tulsi supports endothelial health by enhancing nitric oxide production, which promotes vasodilation and improves blood vessel function.

7. Renal Protection: 

The kidneys play a vital role in regulating blood pressure by maintaining fluid balance and filtering waste from the bloodstream. Tulsi's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties support renal health, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the kidneys.

Scientific Evidence and Studies

Numerous scientific studies support the use of tulsi leaves for managing hypertension:

A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology demonstrated that tulsi extract significantly lowered blood pressure in hypertensive rats, attributing this effect to its vasodilatory and antioxidant properties.

Research conducted at the University of Melbourne found that tulsi supplementation reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in human subjects with mild to moderate hypertension.

Another study published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine highlighted tulsi's role in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby improving endothelial function and cardiovascular health.

Practical Tips for Using Tulsi Leaves

Incorporating tulsi into your daily routine can be done in several ways:

Herbal Tea: Brew fresh or dried tulsi leaves into a soothing tea. Combine with other herbs like ginger or lemongrass for added flavor and health benefits.

Cooking: Add fresh tulsi leaves to salads, soups, curries, and stir-fries to enhance flavor and reap its nutritional benefits.

Supplements: Tulsi supplements in capsule or liquid extract form are available for those who prefer a more concentrated dose or cannot access fresh leaves.

Aromatherapy: Use tulsi essential oil in a diffuser or apply diluted oil topically for stress relief and mental clarity.

Conclusion

Tulsi leaves, or Holy Basil, offer a holistic approach to managing high blood pressure through their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and stress-relieving properties. Incorporating tulsi into your diet and daily routine can support cardiovascular health, reduce hypertension risks, and promote overall well-being. Embrace the benefits of this ancient herb to nurture your heart and enhance your quality of life naturally.

Call your Senators to vote NO on Gabbard's nomination! 

In the coming days, the Senate will hold confirmation hearings for the position of Director of National Intelligence. The current nominee, Tulsi Gabbard, has a disturbing record of parroting Russian propaganda, meeting with America’s enemies (Syria’s Assad), and advocating for Ukraine to settle with Russia and agree to be neutral. There is a great article by even the conservative National Review about why she is uniquely unqualified. 

Gabbard’s chances of getting confirmed currently stand about 50/50. Four Republicans are needed to stop her nomination. Previously three Republicans voted no on Hegseth’s nomination, so just one more is needed here.

We ask that you call your Senators, and ask them to vote NO on confirming Gabbard. This is especially critical if you live in these states for the following Senators:

Texas, Cornyn - 202-224-2934 Maine, Collins - 202-224-2523 Alaska, Murkowski - 202-224-6665 South Dakota, Rounds - 202-224-5842 Oklahoma, Lankford - 202-224-5754

Below is a sample script. Feel free to add details, such as why this issue is important to you. You can use this script for both speaking with a staffer or leaving a voicemail.

My name is [your name] and I live in [city, state]. In the upcoming days the Senator will be considering the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. For the sake of American national security I ask that the Senator votes No. Gabbard has consistently sympathized with American enemies and traitors, met with Syria’s Assad, and encouraged Ukraine to effectively surrender to Russia. She is not fit for this role and would endanger America’s interests. Thank you.

“Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, said national security advisor Michael Waltz inadvertently added him to a group chat with Trump administration officials discussing war strikes in Yemen and other highly sensitive matters of national security.

Goldberg recounted the implausible situation in The Atlantic on Monday, starting from the moment earlier this month Waltz added him to the 18-person group chat on Signal ― something he first assumed was part of an elaborate hoax or disinformation campaign ― to his realization that President Donald Trump’s top national security players were actually tinkering with war plans over a text thread.

In addition to Waltz, officials Goldberg seemingly identified in the group chat included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who he says sent information that our adversaries could have “used to harm American military and intelligence personnel, particularly in the broader Middle East;” Vice President JD Vance; Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence; and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Goldberg said the situation he was in “became truly bizarre” on March 15, four days after Waltz added him to the conversation. At around 11:44 a.m. ET, Hegseth texted the group “precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing” of U.S. strikes on Yemen set to happen about two hours later. When those strikes took place as planned, Goldberg viewed the text thread as legitimate.

“What I will say, in order to illustrate the shocking recklessness of this Signal conversation, is that the Hegseth post contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing,” Goldberg wrote.

The Atlantic editor decided to leave the group chat at that point. When he reached out to officials to inquire about the validity of the chat, National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes confirmed to him that the thread was real. Hughes sent the same statement to HuffPost when reached for comment.

“This appears to be an authentic message chain, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain,” he wrote. “The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to troops or national security.”

The group chat also pulled back the curtain on Trump’s relationship with Vance, who has remained publicly aligned with the president but questioned his thinking on the strikes in Yemen in the chat with Waltz, Hegseth and other officials.

“I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now,” the vice president wrote. “There’s a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices. I am willing to support the consensus of the team and keep these concerns to myself. But there is a strong argument for delaying this a month, doing the messaging work on why this matters, seeing where the economy is, etc.”

Vance’s office emphasized his allegiance to Trump when reached for comment.

“The Vice President’s first priority is always making sure that the President’s advisers are adequately briefing him on the substance of their internal deliberations,” William Martin, Vance’s communications director, said in a statement sent to both Goldberg and HuffPost. “Vice President Vance unequivocally supports this administration’s foreign policy. The President and the Vice President have had subsequent conversations about this matter and are in complete agreement.”

When asked about Goldberg’s story on Monday, Trump told reporters he had no idea what they were talking about.

“I don’t know anything about it,” he said. “You are telling me about it for the first time.”

State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said she would not answer any questions about the ordeal.

“I’ve said it twice, and appreciate your persistence,” she told a reporter at a Monday press conference.”

🤦‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Amateur hour. This is what happens when your defense secretary is a drunk and everyone else is an incompetent boob with no experience.

Liz Plank at Airplane Mode:

There was a moment, early in the Trump presidency, when many of us made a critical mistake. We looked at the cruelty on display, the kidnapping of legal residents, the abortion bans, the dismantling of environmental protections, and assumed we were witnessing competence. Not moral competence, of course, but a kind of ruthless, calculating efficiency. We treated the administration like a well-oiled fascist machine, analyzing every tweet and press conference as if they were chess moves in some grand authoritarian strategy. We were wrong. What we were actually witnessing was something far more dumber: the elevation of mediocrity as a governing principle. The Trump White House isn’t some sinister cabal of geniuses. It’s a jobs program for the profoundly unqualified, a four-year experiment in what happens when you hand the keys of government to men who peaked in high school. Their only real qualification? The ability to coddle the most insecure man in America. These aren’t masterminds. They’re the dumbest guys in the room, and that’s why they got promoted. Because their political project has never been about governing. It’s about preserving a system where men like them succeed not through talent, but through entitlement.

This is what patriarchy looks like in practice. It doesn’t just privilege men, it selects for the worst among them. The loudest, the angriest, the most insecure. It rewards obedience over insight, loyalty over leadership, ego over ethics. And while it absolutely hurts women, it also traps good men in a world where they are forced to answer to worse ones. A world where being thoughtful, decent, or competent makes you less likely, not more, to rise. That’s the paradox at the heart of patriarchy: it promises men power, but only if they agree to give up everything that makes power worth having: integrity, growth, connection, purpose. It’s not just bad for women. It’s bad for men. And it’s terrible for democracy. And no scandal reveals this better than signalgate, a blunder so humiliating it makes Veep look like a pbs documentary. Michael Waltz (the actual National Security Advisor) accidentally added Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, to a signal group chat discussing bombing Yemen. Yes. A journalist. In a signal chat. About Yemen.

And when that incompetence inevitably implodes, the women who helped elevate these men are often the first to fall. Just look at Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who is having a really bad 48 hours after trying to cover for the boys’ fiasco by claiming that “no classified or intelligence equities were included.” But her statement was quickly contradicted by multiple sources, including a U.S. defense official who confirmed the information was “highly sensitive” and resembled material typically briefed to the president in secure settings. And then in the world’s greatest this you? The Atlantic published he texts showing “precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.” You can read their stupid texts for yourself here. And subscribe to The Atlantic while you’re at it. The MAGA movement isn’t a rebellion against elitism. It’s a tantrum against merit—a last-ditch effort by underqualified men to hold onto power by discrediting any system that might measure their actual abilities. They didn’t kill DEI because it was unfair. They killed it because it worked. And because they’re scared they’ll lose positions they were never qualified to have in the first place. Equity meant their résumés would finally be judged on merit. Inclusion meant they could be replaced by someone, god forbid a woman or person of color. Or at the very least, someone who doesn’t leave their venmo public, like our brilliant National Security Advisor just did.

The Trump Administration is home to a different kind of DEI: where White male mediocrity is rewarded and merit is gone.
