After Governor Greg Abbott called medical care for trans children “child abuse,” Texas families weighed their options. “Where are we going to go?” one mom said. “What’s our first stop, second stop, if someone’s going to come and try to take my child?” https://t.co/Per9qUaLHT

Alabama's Attorney General, Steve Marshall, helped finance the organization of the January 6 attempted coup d'état and to this day won't say Biden was legally elected.

His insurrection never stopped.

Good Lord.

This interview with Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin - about why she spoke at white supremacist Nick Fuentes’ conference - is pure cringe.

Oh, and she’s been endorsed by Donald Trump to be the next Governor of Idaho.

Don’t let these people win

After the 2020 election, Charles Koch went on a media tour claiming that he regretted being "partisan." Koch said he would now be a "unifer."

On 2/7/22, Koch Industries donated $2500 to Rep. Ronnie Jackson (R-TX), who is demanding Biden take a cognitive test

The Koch family fortune started by building refineries for Stalin and Hitler, now reportedly Koch Industries continues doing business in Russia https://t.co/NqLOKu5wk0

#UPDATE Ratings agency Fitch again downgrades Russia's sovereign debt rating farther into junk territory from "B" to "C", saying the decision reflects the view that a default is "imminent".

"Junk" status is the category of countries at risk of not being able to repay their debt

Remember how @laurenboebert screamed in outrage during the SOTU because of the alleged pain she felt for the 13 service members who died in Afghanistan?

She just joined 174 Republicans to vote NO to spend any money on soldiers suffering from cancer & disease caused by that war.
