We (US) need to stop viewing political parties like sports teams.

What billionaire owner of a football team are we trusting to decide who gets health care, fair wages, a stable economy, safe schools, etc.?

(So why do we trust the details of public policy to media moguls, who profit off dissent?)

#statingtheobvious, but Trump demolishing the East Wing *including* the East Collonade added by Jefferson in 1801 is a perfect symbol of Trump's narcissistic, megalomaniacal assault on US democracy: doesn't know what any of it means, doesn't care.

This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier--

BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for

JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started

Autism is not a "disease" or "epidemic".

Autism has a strong genetic component.

There is no evidence that vaccinees or Tylenol cause autism.

Access to autism diagnostics have dramatically increased as reported rates increased.

Neither Trump nor RFK Jr are scientists or medical professionals.
