🎯 The major point is that the anti-vaccine misinformation machine is worth millions. Vaccines worked so well that Polio & small pox are dim & distant memories, therefore less compelling. I did not see what it was like to live with those outbreaks or watch people suffer from complications. 🧪

Someone I only knew a little has died. He was pretty established in the Seattle theater scene when I was trying to break in and he was warm, kind, and welcoming. We all gotta die but if you’re first remembered for your kindness by those who barely knew you, well, good job.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has been accused of breaking laws to infiltrate extremist groups. Here, historian Matt Dallek tells the largely unknown story of the important work the Anti-Defamation League did a half-century ago in infiltrating extremist groups such as the John Birch Society:

The DOJ didn’t delete Jan. 6 records quietly. They bragged about it. “We are proud,” they said. So @lawfaremedia.org recovered 5,769 pages…95% of what was scrubbed and published them all. They can’t erase what happened. #USDemocracy #Pinks www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

BREAKING: Late last night, a federal court overturned a restrictive New Hampshire voter registration law that could have disenfranchised thousands. We challenged this law in court and won, because these unnecessary laws don't safeguard our elections — they just make it harder for people to vote.

Garcia: "We asked Bondi questions about Ghislaine Maxwell and the transfer, and she referred those questions to Todd Blanche and the Bureau of Prisons. So we have many questions for Mr Blanche that Republicans are refusing to ask. Why was she transferred to a less secure facility?"

MacFarlane: $250 — who’d be carrying around that kind of bill in their wallet to begin with? It seems ornate. It seems like something royalty would carry, but at the same time, it’d be barely enough to cover the grocery bill for a family of four or five each week because prices are so high.

It's time to retire this idea from some that Dems should nominate a straight white guy in 2028 to be "safe." Just look at GOP attacks on Talarico, a straight white Christian. They're calling him "Tofu Talarico," "transgender," and running the same culture-war playbook they use on everyone else.

In yet ANOTHER decision by a judge trying to unstick Alex Jones' abuse of the legal process to prevent us from paying the Sandy Hook families, Texas judge Maya Gamble said Alex Jones has conducted "outrageous discovery abuse, tampering with evidence, and continuous, callous disrespect" for the law.
Even if the Court were to consider the expert affidavit and testimony offered
by FSS as prima facie evidence of FSS's net worth, the Court finds that it cannot treat such
evidence offered by FSS as credible in light of its past behavior documented in numerous
orders of this Court, including outrageous discovery abuse, tampering with evidence, and
continuous and callous disrespect for the integrity of these proceedings. This behavior has
included discovery abuse with respect to evidence of net worth, and as such, the Court has
no faith in the veracity of evidence offered by FSS as to its own net worth.
