People keep saying what a "terrible precedent" it would be to prosecute a former president, but, like, isn't it just as terrible to have elected someone to the presidency who then did multiple serious crimes? Or worse, to knowingly let the president just get away with multiple serious crimes?

I’m sick and tired of hearing this lie peddled by the GOP and corporate media. Raising the debt ceiling does not increase spending or the federal debt. It simply allows the government to pay bills it has already taken on— and defaulting on the debt would be catastrophic.

If only Clarence Thomas had the concern for the court that Abe Fortas once did. And kudos to propublica, for continuing to dig. This is the kind of journalism we no longer have enough institutions able to undertake, and we all should applaud and support such work.

This is fucking inhumane. Politicians threatening medical doctors prison if they help a woman in physical distress is horrific. Animals, cruel animals who should never have any say in health matters.

TODAY: Iowa Republicans voted to legalize child labor for kids as young as 14.
The Iowa senate did this at 5 am and hoped no one would notice.
But sure, go ahead and tell me how right-wingers are trying to protect our children.

These trips appeared nowhere on Thomas’ financial disclosures.

Let's Talk About - This piece. I'm not sure I buy this theory. UT Austin is far from being a Red School. As is LSU. FSU or UF wouldn't be considered Red. Nor would The U. That said there are schools within those states where this fits.

A must-read: Christopher Trotter had three months left in prison. He was looking forward to meeting his 3-year-old daughter.
He tried to save another incarcerated man’s life in a fight against white supremacist guards—and was punished with over a century behind bars

Interesting: Since 1971 the share of middle-income Americans has shrunk, with both lower and upper income groups increasing proportionally. This is the growing rich-poor divide.
Note that "middle" gets adjusted for inflation.

If you’re a Republican voter, I care about you. You’re being lied to. Distracted with non-issues and hurting other people.
You need a good job and a house, and you don’t get that by having your legislators torment transgender kids.

The Two-Decade Red State Murder Problem – Third Way
In March of 2022, we found that murder rates in 2020 were 40% higher in Trump-voting states than Biden-voting states. In this follow-up, we studied homicide data going back to 2000 to see if this one-year Red State murder epidemic was an anomaly. It was not. Despite a media narrative to the contrary..

Today I learned that after no fault divorce was legalized in 1970, female suicide rates dropped 20%🤯
The "strong 1950s family unit" that GOP is nostalgic about ignores record high female suicide, suffocating domestic violence, & zero female financial autonomy
But maybe that's GOP's goal?

Running out of mojo on my latest #knitting project - the yarn is scrumptious to work with, but I just can't seem to work up the energy to pull it out of my bag. Thinking it's bc if I'm not fast my toddler won't get to wear it, and it'll be awhile before the kiddo in utero gets use of it. Any tips?
