That's always his thing, isn't it? He threatens the Illinois Governor and the Mayor of Chicago with "jail" because they won't let him take over the state with the National Guard without resistance, like the fucking dictator that he thinks he is.

Didn't work with Newsom, he also said "bring it on!".

Last night, Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf were called fascists on prime-time BBC. Call me sentimental, but I think the UK is a slightly better place today.

The Overton window shifted in our favour for once.

The GOP can solve this problem, but they continue to play the blame game. Call them and urge them to focus on solutions not politics.

The Education Department has hired at least 9 people from the America First Policy Institute, co-founded by Secretary Linda McMahon.

The think tank’s listed goals include ending the separation of church and state and “plant[ing] Jesus in every space.”

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

So Scott Leiendecker's company KNOWiNK has a lot more GOP operatives working for it at high levels than I've seen anyone report yet.

-The Chief Strategy Officer was a campaign GOP consultant, working for Mike Huckabee and others.
-More than one KNOWiNK employee worked on Ed Martin's 2012 campaign/

Winsome Sears and Glenn Youngkin blocked a bill establishing the Prescription Drug Affordability Board — a bill that would have literally helped lower prescription drug prices in Virginia.

They own the Prescription Drug Cost Crisis here in Virginia.

I assume that Nancy Mace is just a grifter and that’s why she turned 180 degrees on trans rights, but we also can’t rule out that untreated syphilis might have eaten her brain.

Rep. Nancy Mace continues to use a transgender slur — isn’t that considered hate speech?
