Washington State currently has a loophole that allows young drivers to wait until they turn 18 to no longer be required to complete a driver's ed course before getting a license. This loophole has produced a 70% higher rate of injury or fatal crash involvement.

Today that loophole starts to close.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Margaret Atwood talks about the first thing that happens with totalitarianism is a “purge of the true believers” citing H*tler’s Night of the Long Knives, where he culled the Nazi party of those who still believed in the socialism part of national socialism. She predicts: true Republicans are next.
