Yeah, there might be something to the Atlantic piece: there a few GOP Senators in danger of losing their seats (Collins, McSally, Graham, Ernst, Gardner, and Daines), and they might not be eager to risk pissing off voters. I believe Collins’ slide in Maine began with her vote for Rapey McKeggerdick, and that will not…

The only way to stop this is if there are four Senate Republicans who decide they have principles.

While “competent” isn’t glowing praise

Yeah, it’s never a good moment when you get to the eugenics portion of the slide towards fascism...

Yeah, no qualifications as such, but a remotely competent administration will pick people suitable for the situation.

Ehhhhhh, I think that’s a gal?

Tulsi might be carrying water for QAnon, you say?

$13.00 a month is a “high-priced subscription?”  I’m guessing that you live in the developing world, if you think that is actually expensive.

It’s a little more nuanced than that: public health scientists were worried that a Spanish Flu-like pandemic was going to hit. So, what do you do? What happens if you get it wrong? Then, of course, once non-scientists get involved (i.e., the government), the nuances quickly disappear: what were once possibilities…

But guys, guys: their baby is important; like, really important! You couldn’t really expect them to worry about some pesky fire when they are celebrating the birth of the Most Important Baby in History!

Hopefully a highly-placed source will step forward and verify this story personally.

White women were aiding and abetting the strongarm plundering of Black America for more years than I have fingers to count.

Congress is at a stalemate over how best to relieve the financial burden of their constituents.
