To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

Eric Schmitt pins down Jack Smith — as a Caitlin Clark fan
It appeared that the Missouri Republican misinterpreted a text message reference to the "hawks."

Sen. SCHMITT: We have texts saying you attended an Atlanta Hawks game in February 2024. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith: I believe it was a Maryland-Iowa game. Sen. KLOBUCHAR: The Iowa HAWKeyes. Perhaps the Senator from Missouri should have looked at these texts more carefully.

Reminder: perhaps the easiest & cheapest way to tell Bezos to fuck off is by linking to Bookshop or (even better) an indie bookstore WHENEVER you talk about a book online. W/o a link people will just google it & that will lead to Amazon. W a link you can send a sale to a good business

Someone needs to tell us where his wife is registered to vote. Apparently all of the children (his, hers & theirs) go to school in Kansas. Also need to check into their tax returns, especially property taxes for their Wichita area home (apparently she bought the house & it's listed with an LLC).

Many younger Americans, including many physicians, have never seen measles. They don't recognize the early symptoms and don't know what to do when they hit. Wait until they're dealing with polio. RFK, Jr., and the rest of the sociopaths in the Trump/GOP Regime are killing Americans.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

This is the 8th major profile of Emanuel since December 2024 that failed to mention Laquan McDonald. Here’s what he told the Senate, about the teen’s murder, during his Senate confirmation hearing in 2021. “That tragedy sits with me, as it has, every day and every week for the last seven years.”

The human toll of this war is more than any of us could've imagined. Eight servicemembers across the USS Lincoln Strike Force attempted to take their own lives—and we wouldn't have known unless we pushed for answers. It's long past time for a public hearing on Trump's war.
