Iowa Governor lies outright about why she signed bill. It does not make women safer in any way. Also the state of Iowa was never paying for transgender surgeries.

I talk to Trump supporters. I correct misinformation and try to convey the perspective of those being oppressed. Same guys every day, usually.
But they get on social media for hours a day and consume lies. I can't compete with that.

See now I’m starting to think that these people want a machine to summarize things for them because when a human does it, the human uses words like “no” and “that would hurt people” and “that’s illegal.”

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.
The actual number is less than 1%.
Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

Much like other air disasters I will not mention, there were warning signs that predated that plane/helicopter crash. When will the FAA start taking things seriously BEFORE there are terrible accidents?
