And *there* is Evil Clarence Thomas. He asks how much any of the debate about the 14th A has to do with immigration. His point here, is gonna be, that the 14th A only applied to freed slaves and NOBODY else. That's what MAGA wants him to say, and he seems inclined to say it.

She is the classic example of a white woman who will vote against her own interests in order to preserve her own perceived financial security. Only when her husband divorces her, leaving her destitute, when all the laws protecting her have changed largely due to her own mouth, will she understand.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.

Trump's whole excuse for not averting a shutdown by extending ACA subsidies is that "Democrats want to fund illegal immigrants' healthcare." But it's a lie! And they know it's a lie! But they can't let the rubes in the base know it's a lie because otherwise they'll lose their public justification.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Trump's budget anomalies call for an increase in funding for the G20 events. A million dollar increase- to $1,350,000. Without it there's a "significant reputational risk to the US." I feel like there's something more significant that's impacting our international reputation.

People saying flag burning is "clearly constitutional" have not met this Republican Supreme Court, a court which changes the rules of the game every day so Trump can "win." If they *want* to make flag burning "un"consitutional, they certianly *can.* My latest in @thenation.com

Flag Burning Is Constitutional—but the Supreme Court May Burn That Too
Trump’s flag-burning order is totally preposterous—and a total set-up.

Anyone listening to the Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on USDA’s reorganization should understand that Stephen Vaden is lying and misleading. They are not proposing to close only four facilities. They plan to close many more and are planning to require people outside of DC to move as well.

The hubris (arrogance?)of white men like Roberts is supported & promoted by the wealth & power of other white men to perpetuate & protect their wealth & power. Awards, nominations, promotions, & remuneration all flow in one direction to elevate & protect the lives of rich white men.

The GOP bill would cut $1 trillion from health care. This would kick 10.9 million people off their health insurance. That, plus the expiration of the APTCs (and the other half of the ACA rule), lead to 16 million people losing health insurance, pushing the uninsurance rate up 4 percentage points.
percent of people without health insurance goes from 8% to 12% under GOP plan
