This weak, brazen attempt by Stephen Miller both to chill free speech and to set up a premise to criminalize it — and, to be clear, this is the very type of speech most central to First Amendment protections — would be laughably embarrassing if this man did not have the power that he has.

Mikie Sherrill on Lara Trump’s claim that prices are coming down: I think in New Jersey we’d call that a barrage of shit. Prices are not going down. We’re seeing them go up everywhere, and I think that trend is only going to continue.

Lots of people falling for this dude's right-wing propaganda. Costco has never sold mifepristone pills. This "story" is nothing more than a weak attempt to generate outrage at Costco. It's like saying McDonald's doesn't sell mifepristone pills due to "activist pressure". It's just not true.
