🚨 America’s Next Pandemic Nightmare Is Closer Than We Think

The next outbreak won’t ask if we’re ready.

Unless a policy DIRECTLY affects a maga person, they simply won't believe it's true. Cut funding for cancer research? Oh AP reported it? Definitely not true. Hard to discuss reality when they aren't living in it.

Seems like the FBI finding 150 homemade bombs at the home of a guy who uses Biden’s picture for target practice should be a bigger story.
Apparently he may get released on a $25,000 bond.

Wild stuff going on in Texas right now. Amid an incredibly contentious Republican fight for Speaker of the House, the Texas GOP has passed a resolution vowing to censure anyone who doesn’t vote for party leaders’ preferred candidate — which will bar any censured lawmaker from running in primaries.

This map helps explain why Trump had so much success framing US-Mexico border immigration as a national issue even though most Americans aren't affected by it, our economy depends on undocumented immigrants, and it is Trump who has fought border reform the last four years.
