This is a rather telling statement. Nearly a third of women in Louisiana are Black. www.businessinsider.com/gop-senator-...
Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says
Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.

During the last Trump administration, several Ohio sheriffs let ICE use county jails to detain immigrants and they all faced problems from it.
Trump promises sweeping deportations, but who will house them? • Ohio Capital Journal

Other media outlets finally waking up to this story
"It's hard to have more influence when you're talking about money in politics than someone who just directly gave you eight figures"

What an embarrassment.
Donald Trump's cringe azz "strongman" handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron shows he's a tiny man.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

How do you read this as anything other than a death threat? Trump’s best buddy / co-president is now out here trying to get specific individuals hurt.

🚨 Breaking:
Ohio’s Attorney General says he will appeal the court decision that struck down Ohio’s six-week abortion ban as being in violation of last year’s passage of Issue 1 (reproductive freedom Amendment).
How outrageous is that appeal?

Normalize punching Nazis. Tolerance of intolerance leads to more intolerance (and Nazis)
heartwarming story for the holidays ❤️🔥
“…the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched... One of the officers noted the men were ‘covered in’ pepper spray.”

It’s surreal to watch in real time as supposed freedom loving people fantasize about the creation of a new state media enterprise that explicitly embraces the incoming regime and is owned by the president-elect’s favorite billionaire propagandist. Attached image circulating in maga-land.

The US president has access to a vast infrastructure to distill information about the world for their consumption. Trump has a propagandist in reverse, mainlining a slurry of disinformation from the online MAGAsphere into his brain.
33-year-old former far-right cable anchor Natalie Harp may be the most important person in America that you’ve never heard of. She controls all the online information flow to… Donald Trump. Literally.

I think this is the biggest hurdle facing Democrats in Ohio.
How do you pierce the right-wing mediasphere, much of it being inherently dishonest, outside the big cities?
Nothing really matters until that issue is solved.

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.
