Without hysterics we should have a frank discussion of what’s at stake for our nation’s children: our vaccines are safe, they work, and have eliminated our worst/ancient childhood scourges. The risk: left unchecked and as proposed by this new alliance we could see their return

@ElBeardsley Beautiful story, very well written and worth reading. According to the card, it looks like M. Minot lived in St Germain des Prés (at least after the war), at 55 rue de Sevres. This building looks post-war, though.

@PodSaveAmerica @jonfavs So, we’re doing the circular firing squad already?

@279732 @ZoeTillman @cstrohm That "longstanding practice" is 90% mythical.

@purpledustrain @benshapiro Hence the discount.

@JReinerMD @NormOrnstein Wait! That’s only 15 vaccines! What about the other 59 RFK Jr claims kids get?

TV ads in Michigan tell voters that while their votes are secret, the fact that they voted is not - so people can see if they voted. What is the goal of these? To intimidate people from voting?

@BeeForGeorgia Thanks! I did 150 in Michigan.

[mstdn.party/@BenVernia @BenVernia]

@emptywheel This theory makes sense. I came to Michigan to canvass this weekend, and the amount of advertising here is like the amount of radiation coming out of Chernobyl.

@svdate Vance's performance was a classic Gish Gallop of bullshit.

@MattDursh I took up woodworking 40 years ago, and switched to metric measurements about 5 years in. It was immensely easier, except for dealing with the Imperial world of vendors. It drives me nuts to see my architect's plans for my cottage in Imperial units.

@svdate He also committed federal tax fraud with it. Shortly after the '16 election, he late-filed a notice conceding that he had engaged in self-dealing with the foundation, and that he had done so in prior years. Like so many of his transgressions, it just fell into the memory hole.

[mstdn.party/@BenVernia @BenVernia]

@jonfavs Trump wouldn’t even admit that he lost the popular vote in ‘16– he set up a commission that wasted millions of dollars on an election he won (by the Electoral College).

[mstdn.party/@BenVernia @BenVernia]

@joshtpm Nope.

[mstdn.party/@BenVernia @BenVernia]

@BennettCartoons Ouch. Amazing that Post publisher Will Lewis wrote this with a straight face: "in 1976 for understandable reasons at the time, we changed this long-standing policy and endorsed Jimmy Carter as president." The reasons were what, exactly-the threat to democracy posed by Jerry Ford?

[mstdn.party/@BenVernia @BenVernia]

@joshtpm This is just laughable: "in 1976 for understandable reasons at the time, we changed this long-standing policy and endorsed Jimmy Carter as president."
What, because of the threat posed to the Republic by (checks notes) Gerald Ford?
