Weird…I’ve watched NASCAR races where a Driver leads most of the laps, but is passed late in the race, and doesn’t win. Don’t remember anybody calling it fraud. But once you’re ahead in an election, and the results change…it’s fraud if you’re a Republican.

For decades, the IRS has been required to audit every sitting president annually; a critical safeguard to ensure no president has a secret financial stake in betting against the American people they swore to serve. Every president accepted those audits without question. - Until now.

I know everyone has seen comments like this so often they're inured to it, but that's really appalling. He's making statements that are plainly false at the most basic level, and rather than admit or correct that, he has convinced a large swathe of Americans to decide that he's actually correct

My first RN job was in Labor and Delivery, Postpartum and Newborn care. Mifepristone has SO many other uses, but they don’t care about that. In my job we used it to help induce labor when needed, or help it along. This is a slippery slope. I hate it here. We TOLD you this was going to happen.
