Wearing masks to protect ourselves and others from covid-19 has been the norm in the United States for a few months now, and—right on time—Republican ideologues are finally catching up. The Washington Post reports that Republican politicians and even Fox News talking heads are a being a little more assertive in…

I always assume this sort of fuckery is the handiwork of Stephen Miller.

None of that explains why she has to account to you or anyone else for her career or personal choices? I don’t see an actual answer to the question anywhere.

Kudos to the people of Oklahoma. Hopefully, their governor will accept the voter's decision. VP Pence saved my life by expanding Medicaid in Indiana. It's also been good for our economy.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) says there should be no stigma associated with covering one’s face as public health experts advise, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says doing so is essential to fully reopening the economy.

Why do they owe you or anyone else an explanation? Who cares other than people virtue signaling and posting to their not followed twitter “why is no one talking about this!?!” Because no one gives a shit besides you.

it could usher in even more incendiary campaign tactics between now and November.

I knew you’d come around. : P

I agree with everything, except naming Louisville, Memphis, and Little Rock as examples of Midwest cities. Those are the South (though Louisville is 50'away from Indiana).
