This week, Senate Republicans gave LIFETIME judicial appointments to more anti-abortion fanatics who support fetal personhood—the dangerous idea that a fetus should have the same rights as a pregnant woman.
They're hoping you don't notice. I won’t let this fly under the radar.

Something @hcrichardson.bsky.social said the other day has really stuck with me. Abridged:
The U.S. is a fabulously wealthy country. But it's not just in bank accounts. Knowing you can get in your car and drive to the supermarket ... clean hot water ... electricity. That's wealth.

Incredible book from an incredible human being. “When you take a risk, you have to trust that someone will come to your aid; and when it’s your turn, you will help someone else.”
Maria Ressa's 'How to Stand Up to a Dictator' is a memoir and manifesto
In 2013, Ressa laid out her forward-looking vision for the future of public service journalism to me. Her book traces a humbling, harrowing journey from social media advocate to democracy defender.

Why are billionaires buying up media outlets?
As a media mogul, you can effectively hedge against democracy by suppressing criticism of yourself and other plutocrats and discouraging any attempt to tax away your wealth.

The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food.
The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals.
The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.
