The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful.
THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die.

A whole lot of peaceful protestors and a few fearsome frogs hopped downtown for another protest Friday in Edwardsville. Do we really want to live in a country run by a king, dictator, or tyrant, of any nature? The frogs say NO!

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

What an officially ‘Christian nation’ looked like in America - Americans United
There was just one attempt to create an officially Christian government during the period of European settlement, and that was Puritan Massachusetts. It’s hardly a model for our lives today.
