Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Targeting more than half the population of the US for a political reason is treason. No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

As the parent of an Autistic child, this reduction of the condition to a transactional throw-away "big news next week" is soul crushing. Autism is not "out of control". It demands recognition and a society that realizes the strengths in everyone. Divisive BS to further anti-science

Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing. This is someone who throughout his public life has embraced just about every piece of quackery & pseudoscience he's come across"
