The embattled lawmaker is under a House Ethics Committee investigation for alleged sexual misconduct with a former member of his staff, who committed suicide last year.
The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
Someday he'll fire RFK Jr. too, because he's a savvy politician, and RFK Jr. is viscerally disgusting to the human sensibility. When he does - and he will - public health will have to grapple with the fact that it was doable, and we could have tried harder, sooner

Misquoting Orwell while being the last person in the room to know you've just been fired: PRICELESS
Over priced.
Peace is good for business.
Not to mention Pinochet…
The US has a history of support for Nazi like and other authoritarian forms of govt. ( eg Ford motor co, McCarthyism ) We usually come to our senses when we’ve exhausted all other means to screw up. Then we have a period of progressiveness that’s hard to completely reverse

“Just because I am at risk doesn’t mean I can invade your body because of my risk factor. That’s not okay.”
These are the words of AZ state rep Nick Kupper (R, Nazi Germany) in sharing his belief that immunocompromised people don’t deserve to be protected by vaccine requirements for school entry.
Note also that the words he has chosen are intentionally meant to evoke a comparison between vaccination and sexual assault. This is not a new strategy for the anti-vaccine movement, either.
They failed. They might have advocated for specific policies but obviously since the autocracy has arrived, they’ve failed miserably at advocating for democracy.
The problem is we don't have well-developed langugage/tools for helping people overcome voter suppression, because normally voter suppression is only the concern of Black/brown people
BREAKING: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calls for an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged foreign intelligence ties.

Imagine all of the potential lawsuits that RFK Jr. is setting up for his firm once he’s expelled from the U.S. government like a hairball.
It sure is interesting that Mr. “Medical Freedom” and “parental rights” thinks that the government should decide if teenage girls are allowed to have coffee from Starbucks or Dunkin.
I think he’s setting up lawsuits for his firm for after he is expelled from the government like a hairball.
America Christian Nationalists woke up this morning pondering, "Who Would Jesus Bomb?"
Public health disaster
Dollars to donuts they want to restore the position of “Shah.”
I see the uneducated are supervising the illiterate at the DOJ.
Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
NOT JUST THIS:
Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.
This could be a major night in NC.
This is good news! Which blue you pick matters!
What about the non-evangelical Christians?
