Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

Republicans jacked up Americans' health premiums at the highest rates in years.

They’re now holding the federal government hostage to keep costs sky-high.

Republicans own this health care crisis. Republicans own this shutdown.

He’s wrong on the science and he’s wrong in comparing the US to European countries.

But he does not care who gets sick or dies, nor does he care who goes broke because they have to pay for an ICU stay or because the breadwinner has died.

I think the USA crossed the Rubicon when #CorruptSCOTUS allowed the destruction of our Constitution and due process, which allowed Concentration Camps here. Time will tell.

No. Selling raw milk is illegal because it is dangerous.

Changing the laws around the sale of raw milk won’t change the fact that it is dangerous to consume.
With everything awful that's happening in our country and our state, this is the priority of Ohio Republicans: working to legalize raw milk, just a week after an outbreak in Florida that put people in the hospital.
Ohio Republican lawmakers moove to legalize sale of raw milk
Ohio Republican lawmakers have introduced a bill that would legalize the sale of unpasteurized milk. Doctors warn that raw milk causes foodborne illnesses, and the product is banned for a reason.

BREAKING: A police officer has died after he was shot by a Anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist, who opened fire near the CDC complex and Emory University in Atlanta.

Your stupid conspiracy theories are literally killing people.
