The GOP is willing to break the rules no matter what. Dems aren't even willing to exercise all the authority the rules allow, for fear of seeming mean.

Anti abortion extremists know that abortion bans are exceedingly unpopular so they have to try to claim that abortion increases breast cancer risk when it absolutely does not.

Prior abortion or miscarriage not linked to increased risk of pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer
A prior abortion or miscarriage was not linked with an increased risk of developing pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer in a study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica.

Worth noting: a district judge ruled that the ban on trans service members was illegal and unconstitutional, as it was without rational basis and based on pure animus. She then refused to stay the order pending appeal. SCOTUS lifted the stay, and the purge began. www.npr.org/2025/03/18/n...

I think one of the reasons you hear so much visceral anger coming from Dems about politics these days is bc for years now we’ve been expected to respond with dignity and respect (which we do) when political violence touches the GOP. But when it touches us - we get the Mike Lee’s of the world.

Not a single person saying this is going to work one of these jobs, nor have they likely ever worked these jobs in the past. But also, what made these jobs bearable was they were well-paying union jobs where you traded monotony, physical toil for a good middle-class life. They aren’t offering that.
