If you wanna know what happens when abortion is illegal, see Chapter 5. It’s not pretty.

@yourewrongabout @youwouldntpost Great episode but please tell me Miles that “Guth” is pronounced with a long u, rhymes with “booth.” I grew up near a Guth dairy and knew the family so I know how they pronounced it!

Vaccines are why 1 of every 4 of us didn't die in infancy.
Fluoride is why most of us keep our teeth into old age.
The ACA is why 21 million of us can see a doctor.
The FDIC is why we don't lose our life savings.

And a handful of GOP billionaires want to take it all away.

I’m sharing my abortion story because Alabama's no exceptions abortion ban is putting lives at risk. We must repeal this legislation, and if I'm elected on March 26th, I'll work tirelessly to do just that.

The GOP ran a 3 year investigation into Hunter Biden- solely to smear President Biden. They say his family relationship to POTUS is enough to allow them to investigate/impeach Joe.

McCarthy’s brother-in-law
William Wages was awarded $7 million in a no-bid contract at U.S. military installations and other government properties in California. These projects are located in and next-door to McCarthy’s Bakersfield-district.

Kevin McCarthy is the Speaker of the House. Did William Wages benefit from being McCarthy’s brother-in-law?

Maybe Jordan and Comer can open a weaponization committee investigation into William Wages and Kevin McCarthy.

Seems right up the GOPs weaponization alley.

Let’s take a moment to remember Kalief Browder - sent to Rikers Island as a teenager for allegedly stealing a backpack to await trial with no Bond.

Three years in prison being abused awaiting trial for something he never did.

Two of those years in solitary confinement, but by all means tell me how Trump and minions are being treated unfairly.

The audacity of Charlie Kirk saying that Black men will vote for Trump just because Trump has a mugshot. Cuz ya know, Black men can relate.

Did I mention when Kalief was finally cleared and freed he committed suicide two years later due to the trauma he experienced?

Racist trash. All of them. #FreshResists

@ScottPloof We left Louisiana because of insurance rates and the more frequent, more catastrophic, hurricanes. We had rental properties in LC and NOLA, and had to replace every roof. We sold everything and headed for the mountains of Arkansas. Best decision ever.

RFK Jr. mainlining antivax bullshit through Joe Rogan is more proof that America might not be able to survive our unbridled passions for rich business boys like Elon and Donald and political dynasties, especially when combined in any way with former reality show hosts.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

holy fucking shit, Donald Trump's behavior in that Miami restaurant was a metaphor for his shoddy presidency and his entire larcenous life: promise everything, deliver nothing, skip out when the bill comes due

Victory is ours!

BREAKING: The Two Tennessee state lawmakers, Justin Jones (D-Nashville) and Justin Pearson (D-Memphis), who were expelled from the state legislature earlier this year for their protest of gun violence, have just easily won a special primary election.

- Justin Jones ran unopposed
- Justin Pearson won 94% of the vote.

While the Tennessee GOP thought they were winning, all they did was empower these two men. It is now very likely both win the general election in August.
