In addition we know the chance of having a child with ASD increases with advanced maternal age (pregnancy at and after 35 years old), gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia.

A lot of folk are waiting to have kids, which is fine, but there is a higher chance of autism.

It's already a mess to clean up, it won't be easy. Hopefully it will be possible.

Thank goodness for those who are resisting. The federal court judges. The non-MAGA members of the justice department, and other federal departments. Those organising and attending protests. Those who work to get 5 usually non voters to the polls in each of 2026, 2027, 2028.

JD Vance is VP. Chris Buskirk is using his cut to start a doping-friendly competitor to the Olympics. A Republican just bought Dominion. Trump demanded Texas redistict to give him 5 more seats. Voting data in the 2024 election is statistically weird.

JD Vance founded Rockbridge Network with Chris Buskirk. It exists to funnel donor money (legally) to lobbists. To push whatever narrative the donors want. Commercialised lying (and maybe even commercialised mob violence) to rewrite reality. Legal so far, but breaking the *intent* of many laws.

Progressive policies always get around to "the ultra rich shouldn't exist" (not in a violent way, but in a redistribution way). Clearly the ultra rush can't support that.

Many rich folk *pretend* to be "conservative" but they want to control the world. Their primary goal is that the government keeps the rest of us busy and away from their stuff.

Lie, intimidate and if all else fails, break stuff until you can coerce folk into accepting the change you want. Abuse in relationships is way higher than we assume. There's no reason to think the same tactics wouldn't work on a populace.

No more filibuster? And the GOP takes 100% responsibility for this godawful budget?

This is about as good an outcome as anybody could hope for from our current dire straits.
