Measles is spreading fast in S.C. Here's what it says about vaccine exemptions
More than 550 people have contracted measles in Spartanburg County, S.C., in a fast-growing outbreak. Like a majority of U.S. counties, nonmedical exemptions to school vaccination are also rising.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

I think one of the things that non-evangelicals find most annoying about evangelicals is when they claim that other people can’t lead happy and fulfilling lives unless they believe in the same things that they do.

This has been coming from the beginning. All major democracy-supporting NGOs and foundations have their legal complaints already drafted. And in time, perhaps not even much time, they will win their cases. What is needed most in the meantime is courage. Keep saying what you think, doing what you do.

They absolutely should examine it for the lower courts. The marshals work ultimately for the president so are insufficiently independent. NB the SCt justices themselves now enjoy the protection of the more independent Supreme Court police.
NEW: We just sent a letter to Chief Justice Roberts and the Judicial Conference urging them to examine the US Marshal Service's role in protecting judicial independence at their upcoming meeting.

Bullshit @JohnFetterman. Learn your history. Hitler was the product of a democratic election. So was Erdogan. And Orban. And many others who, once elected, became dictators and subverted elections. Trump is an autocrat. He is a fascist. And to NOT say so is to normalize fascism.

Yes, I’ve said a version of this often. Agree.
I know I've said this a lot, but while things are very very scary now, it is legit terrifying to think about how much more successful a version of this regime that didn't have idiotic fixations like tariffs and was like 10% more competent and patient would be.
