A classic example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Jake Kleinmahon is a Pediatric Cardiologist. He earned his medical degree from Tulane University.
He had left the state to complete his fellowship. In 2018 he and his husband decided to return to Louisiana because he believed that the children there deserved quality care.
There was only one other heart transplant surgeon there at the time, children had to go to different states for heart transplants.
Dr. Kleinmahon became Director of the Pediatric Heart Transplant Program at the local Children's Hospital.
However, because Louisiana is a Republican-run state, they passed a series of anti-LGBTQ+ bills.
Now Dr. Kleinmahon had to make the best decision for his family. He and his husband and daughter left the state.
Now because the state is run by bigots. Now because the constituents are bigots. They have run out one of the two pediatric cardiologists.
Republicans are harming women and children at alarming rates. #FreshVotesBlue #FreshWords
It’s now been one year since @POTUS signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law—lowering health care costs for families and investing in our future by accelerating the transition to clean energy.
Four years ago, I teamed up with @EricHolder to launch @AllOnTheLine. The goal was to take on gerrymandering and make democracy more representative.
Since then, they’ve made incredible progress – including helping secure what is by some measures the fairest congressional map in 40 years, and helping win two landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court: Moore v. Harper and Allen v. Milligan.
BREAKING: New York Times drops bombshell on Elon Musk, reveals that Musk just “threatened” to sue an organization that “studies hate speech and misinformation on social media” in a sinister attempt to hide the rise of hate on Twitter, now rebranded as X.
But it gets WAY worse…
The New York Times reports that Musk threw a fit over 8 separate studies that were published by the organization, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, that exposed how hate speech had rapidly boomed on Twitter after Musk’s takeover — and that Musk’s “Twitter had taken no action against 99 percent of the 100 Twitter Blue accounts the center reported for ‘tweeting hate.’”
Instead of blaming himself for Twitter’s sinking as revenue as advertisers flee Musk’s hate-filled MAGA Twitter, Musk blamed the Center for Countering Digital Hate for the exodus of advertisers.
The Chief Executive of the nonprofit quickly responded to Musk’s threats, declaring that “Elon Musk’s actions represent a brazen attempt to silence honest criticism and independent research.” He added that Mr. Musk is shameless trying to “stem the tide of negative stories and rebuild his relationship with advertisers.”
Very Trumpian of you, @elonmusk…

You have to watch all of this from @SenDuckworth on Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville’s continued blanket objection to confirming military promotions.
BREAKING: Legal experts sound the alarm as Trumper judge Aileen Cannon quietly makes her move to rig the classified documents case in Trump’s favor, announces that she will be moving the case from liberal-leaning West Palm Beach to a Republican district.
But it gets WAY worse…
This is devastating news for Special Counsel Jack Smith because legal experts say that the jury pool will be tainted by Trump supporters who are likely to give Trump a pass no matter how much incriminating evidence is produced during the trial.
Experts say that Judge Aileen Cannon’s shameless decision “means that Trump’s jurors are set to be drawn from, “The most brightly red corner of a vast court district, plucked from a community that leans heavily Republican — instead of the highly populous and more Democratic urban areas further south” — which will give Trump a “highly favorable jury pool.”
Another legal expert responded today’s news by declaring that “Trump is going to have a bunch of supporters” in the new venue, and “they’re going to make their way onto the jury panel.”
So there you have it, folks: the fix is in.
Please retweets and ❤️ if you think that Trumper judge Aileen Cannon must be removed from the case IMMEDIATELY!
BREAKING: In a devastating rant on national television, MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace declares that today’s traitorous Republican Party “can no longer lay any claim to being the party that stands with the U.S. Military.”
It all started when Trumper Senator Tommy Tuberville announced that he would single-handedly block a whopping 184 military promotions just to spite President Biden. Today, for the first time in 164 years, the U.S. Marine Corps of as left without a leader.
But it gets even worse…
Nicole Wallace declared today, “Here is where it gets alarming: Over the next two months, the staff of the Army, Navy, Air Force, along with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs will see their terms come to the same end. It is a Republican-made problem that figures to get much, much worse. But today marked the fall of the first domino."
Wallace blasted Tuberville, declaring that his “hissy fit” is endangering our national security.
She then set her sights on the entire Republican Party, declaring that, The reality is that today's Republican Party, whose front-runner has been indicted for leaving classified documents around his party like candy in a candy dish, can no longer lay any claim to being the party that stands with the U.S. military. Remember the wisdom of Maya Angelou: ‘When someone tells you who they are over and over and over again, believe them.’”

BREAKING: NBC News drops Saturday bombshell on Trump, reveals that Trump’s former Homeland Security Chief of Staff Miles Taylor just revealed that even Trump’s own inner circle was deeply worried because Trump exposed classified information to reporters.
But it gets even worse…
NBC reports that “the incident Taylor describes suggests that his aides still believed he needed to show more care toward state secrets — an issue that landed him in legal peril after he left office and took sensitive records with him."
Adding until to injury, NBC also reports that, “During his time in office, some senior aides worried about Trump’s treatment of state secrets. In an interview, former National Security Adviser John Bolton said that when Trump would get briefings, aides would 'show him graphics, and that’s where the danger came of him grabbing something and keeping it,. Asking Trump to return material he’d been given wasn't so easy. He’s the president of the United States,' Bolton said. 'Are you supposed to say, ‘Mr. President, let’s be clear. We don’t trust you. Give us the document back.’'”
Even worse, according to the report, Taylor also alleges that Trump asked his staffers if they could wiretap his aides to figure out who was speaking to the press.
Unbelievable. It’s simply unconscionable that Republicans want to put this dangerous, unhinged lunatic back in the Oval Office.

This is a scandal. The Supreme Court is now just a 9 person legislature, slinging takes and making law with cases that are basically made up by friendly right wing groups in order to get the new law they want from their 6 buddies on the court. https://t.co/mXYJPvHLDN
BREAKING: After a massive public backlash, Twitter owner Elon Musk shamelessly backtracks on his infamous pledge to “limit” verified acodarme to “reading 6,000 posts per day” and “unverified accounts to 600 posts per day.”
Now, Elon Musk says that the “rate limits” will be “increasing soon to 8,000 for verified accounts and 800 for unverified accounts”…. as if that makes it any better.
It’s embarrassing that a billionaire bought the internet’s most valuable intellectual property —- and is now recklessly milking it for money and turning it into something unrecognizable.
Even worse, he is making these decisions on a whim and quickly trying to backtrack now that Twitter users are outraged.
Unfortunately for Musk, the damage is done. Occupy Democrats and dozens of other top political and artistic influencers just announced that they are migrating to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter alternative that has already pledged to remain totally free of charge and NEVER limit how many posts it’s users can read.

BS: Right-wing SCOTUS knocked down affirmative action today at my alma mater Harvard for ONE reason:
College was the only place left where their white-guy card couldn't get them through the door.
"Affirmative action for me, but not for thee.
Like, "Jared Kushner's daddy can pay Jared's way in... And it's ALL GOOD to let 'legacy' students in – a long line of white rich kids benefitting from the systemic racism we helped create.
"But GOD FORBID we allow a school to consider race!"
First right-wing Republicans put women "in their place". Then they targeted us in LGBT+ community. Now they're doing the same to Black and Brown people:
"GOD FORBID we talk about race in learning environments! And GOD FORBID we make that learning environment diverse!"
Let's get real.
Affirmative action was necessary because dumbass dudes got into college over more qualified people of color. Also, people of color didn't have the support that wealthy white kids got that could help them get into college – and they STILL don't.
SCOTUS just tried to erase reality.
But as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said in her dissent, "ignoring race just makes it matter more."
Let's fight back.
They want to level the playing field in their "colorblind" way? Fine.
Let's challenge legacy college admissions too.
Watch SCOTUS sweat as they decide on eliminating a REAL unjust system... knowing it will make admissions for white people plummet.
DAMN: A Harvard alum just DESTROYED Justice Roberts and the Supreme Court's decision to end affirmative action at Harvard.
You have to read his accusation of why SCOTUS took away equity for Black & Brown: 👇🧵
"College was the only place left where their white-guy card couldn't get them through the door."
BAM! But he dug deeper, punishing the Republican-appointed majority by showing their true colors:
"SCOTUS was basically like 'Jared Kushner's daddy can pay Jared's way in... And it's ALL GOOD to let legacy students in — a long line of white rich kids benefitting from the systemic racism we helped create.
‘But GOD FORBID we allow a school to consider race!'"
RIGHT? Then he painted the big picture:
"First, right-wing Republicans put women in their place. Then they targeted us in the LGBTQ+ community. Now they're doing the same to Black and Brown people"
EXACTLY. But he has a way to fight back.
"They want to level the playing field in their ‘colorblind’ way? Fine.
“Let's challenge legacy college admissions too."
Who else likes this way to fight back? ✋
Read the full destruction of Justice Roberts on this horrible decision now. It's so good!👇🧵
Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini made similar claims as they decimated social norms and imposed restrictive laws on their citizens. History will always repeat itself, even if is erased or whitewashed. Especially when it is erased and whitewashed. DeSantis must never be president #FreshResists
Roe overturned. EPA stripped of the ability to regulate emissions. NY gun law overturned. Miranda rights gutted.
Affirmative Action hanging by a thread. School loan forgiveness is about to be a dream deferred.
Clarence Thomas refused to recuse himself from cases related to J6 despite Ginni’s involvement.
Alito is suspected of leaking a decision to anti-abortion activists.
Roberts' wife earned millions of dollars recruiting for law firms with business before the Court.
Thomas accepts luxury trips and lavish gifts from GOP donor, Crow that had business before the Court.
Thomas’ nephew has tuition paid by the same donor. The same donor also purchases Clarence Thomas’ mother's home and allows her to live rent-free.
Oh no, I’m not finished yet. Sam Alito flew on a private plane owned by conservative billionaire Paul Singer, flying to Alaska for a luxury fishing trip and of course, did not disclose gifts. Here’s the kicker did not recuse himself when Singer had business before the court.
SCOTUS is supposed to be a neutral arbitrator but it is abundantly clear that they will gut and destroy whatever doesn’t align with the radical right platform of their friends.
The Court is corrupt end of the fucking story. #FreshResists
No group that quotes Nazis should be anywhere near our children or have any influence in our community. It is time for our community leaders to stop acquiescing to them and make clear that their hateful rhetoric will not be tolerated. (3/3
This is an act that lays bare the threat they are to our community.
They have no business influencing our school boards, our legislation, or our student curriculum. They stand in opposition to everything that I believe and against the very freedom I fought to preserve. (2/3)
(1/3) Hamilton County Moms for Liberty, designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, chose to use a quote from Adolf Hitler in the most recent addition of their organizational newsletter.
Let me be very clear:
BREAKING: Americans collectively cringe as Trumper Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw performs mental gymnastics to somehow ghoulishly blame the tragic deaths of the five men who lost their lives inside of the Titanic rout submarine on President Biden.
In a shocking statement that shows zero regard for respect towards the victims, and the families of the victims, who tragically perished in the accident, Crenshaw shamelessly declared that it was an “epic failure of leadership” from Biden’s Coast Guard, even though he only “heard” about Biden’s failures and he “doesn’t know” who is truly responsible” for the lost lives.
Trumper Dan Crenshaw continued, falsely declaring that Biden didn’t “deploy assets” that could have saved their lives — even though officials already declared that the victims died way before they could be saved — and millions of dollars were spent on the desperate missions to save their lives.
Adding insult to injury, Crenshaw then declared that President Biden should have “acted sooner,” even though he acted immediately — and even experts agree that it was “impossible” to save them at those depths after their vessel “imploded.”
The worst part is that Crenshaw is a former NAVY Seal — AND a certified division instructor — which means that he should know better before placing the blame on the President Biden.
Sadly, it’s just the latest, but most offensive, occurrence of Republicans twisting themselves into pretzels to blame President Biden for just about ANYTHING.
