Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

Call me crazy but I really do think if you've been face swapped into nonconsensual porn because you, a woman, dared to have a photo online, you should be able to sue everyone involved into oblivion

This was always where the troop deployments were going. Their plan was always to occupy cities with Democratic majorities to scare ppl away from voting. This is ONE TOOL they’re using to stay in power.

Exclusive | RFK Jr. to Oust Advisory Panel on Cancer Screenings, HIV Prevention Drugs The task force determines which preventive services insurers must cover at no cost to patients.

RFK Jr. has fired all members of the Preventive Services Task Force, which requires insurance companies to cover certain treatments. The Supreme Court ruled he could do so in June.

Likely next step: Appointing quacks who will end mandatory insurance coverage for PrEP.
