They all know exactly what they’re doing, because this is what they’ve done since 2021 because my reporting sabotaged their far-right conspiracy propaganda.

Someone once succinctly summed up the common problem with a GOP legislator’s policy proposals - “he just doesn’t understand some people don’t have any f****ing money!”
But Hawley’s proposal has the same basic flaw as Cassidy’s “HSAs for All!” Idea: They assume that most people have several thousand dollars in cash lying around which can be put into a savings account (or paid up front) in order to get savings/tax benefits later on.

States already provide data to ensure the integrity of SNAP. Now, the USDA is threatening to withhold admin funds if states don't hand over personal info for MILLIONS of people.
Maine is among the states fighting this egregious overreach in the courts, which have temporarily blocked USDA’s demands.

This is the sharpest criticism yet of Operation Kill Them All from a senior congressional Republican. Everything he says is not just correct, but also totally obvious.
GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

As a historian of eugenics, just want to confirm that eugenics is bad. Racism and ableism are the foundations of eugenics, and if those things shape what you mean by "desired" genetic characteristics, then it is eugenics and therefore bad. However, not all genetic intervention has to be eugenic.
