Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

This is the video that enraged Trump so much that he called for these Democratic lawmakers to be hanged.
They served our country, and now the President wants them dead because they said something he didn't like. We cannot become numb to these disgusting calls for political violence.

Republicans are once again abandoning their constituents, raising health premiums and stripping away affordable health care access for millions.
Their plan? A health care system designed to benefit the wealthy.

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron.

When referring to people who are anti-Trump, don't fall into the trap of calling them "Antifa."
That is a loaded, mangled word. Call them what they are, "anti-fascists."
