One thing it's useful to remember is that right-wing donors have created a series of local-news-like content sites to poison the information well. And now we have a GOP Senate candidate attacking his opponent by citing claims made by one of these explicitly partisan sites.

The political stakes are very high, but the political discourse is so repetitive and stupid that it’s hard to bear. We’ve spent ten years dealing with this firehose of grandiosity and lies. It becomes mind-numbing.

The U.S. has more thalidomide survivors than the government admits
In the 1950s and 1960s, doctors gave the drug thalidomide to pregnant patients without telling them — and without FDA approval. Now those patients' children want recognition.
