If Senator Bernie Moreno has any balls & wants to maybe scream at his son-in-law instead of a guy that kept millions alive during the pandemic, his daughter filed a restraining order against Rep. Max Miller today.

Republicans are trying to make the news cycle about anything other than Donald Trump and his incredibly unpopular domestic and foreign policy agenda. That’s why they set up this Fauci hearing. And everyone is taking the bait

At least the worst we suffer is quiet disappointment when our celebrities slip into geriatric idiocy. In America they make them president.

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

We're in a moment where straight size women are panicking because they're seeing themselves rewritten as part of an out group, and many are panicking. That panic response: reach for in group status by excluding the out group even harder. No solidarity. No empathy. Just self-preservation.

We’re pushing a month since Elon Musk was quoting from The Turner Diaries, and every single mainstream news and political figure has maintained an active account on his platform, enriching him.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups
