I cannot overstate how remarkable it is that under GOP rule, US federal health regulations have been captured by fringe crackpots who espouse views that the vast majority of the US public—and nearly 100% of health professionals—reject.

Worth noting that the highest profile and most successful Democratic elected official currently in those states is Laura Kelly, the Governor of Kansas, who seems to not believe in Ezra Klein’s theory of politics!

No one would be confused about what's happening if you saw it in another country. No one.
Let's keep focused on the broader pattern here. I've outlined it in six bullet points below. Viewed all in one place, it's quite ominous:

Good morning. On 8/8, CDC came under domestic terrorism. Nearly 500 rounds fired. A police officer murdered. Many of us - and our children - nearly killed.

Thread on CDC shooting👇...

Good morning.

Yesterday, after hours of hiding, trying not to make a sound, we stepped outside and saw massive bullet holes in our office windows.

Those weren’t random shots. That was a high-powered weapon no civilian should ever own.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
