NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202.

I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

Some people voted for trump.
Some people voted for Kamala.
Some people voted 3rd party.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

This just in from the CDC. Do not let your cats go outside (cats shouldn't be anyway), and when your dogs go outside, keep them away from dead birds and bird feces. Animal agriculture is creating mega viruses. Please share this. This is kind of important.

Hey @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com try explaining to elected democrats that we know how terrible Trump and his plans are. Ask them specifically, in action terms, what they are all planning to do about it. Also tell them to stop using the word oligarchy. We’re tired of all the self righteous outrage.

Per an NIH source:

“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

Chronic illness is relentless. It’s literally built into the name.

“Chronic” means we can’t just take a restful weekend and feel “all better”.

It’s day after day of feeling sick, tired and in pain - often while people gaslight you and endlessly ask “are you better yet?”
