Nearly All GOP Senators Urge the FDA to Restrict Abortion Pills The senators are asking the FDA to suspend its approval of generic mifepristone, which would heavily restrict access to abortion pills nationwide.

Republicans are pushing debunked anti-abortion propaganda as an excuse to rip mifepristone off the shelves and block women from getting abortion care.
 
100+ studies prove mifepristone is safe and effective.

You know the meme

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

A huge chunk of Americans "on the right" in the 1960s and 70s were not principled believers in "small government." They were what historian Jefferson Cowie calls "believers in racialized anti-statism." They opposed "big government" only when it threatened white supremacy. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Remember to love the people around you, deeply and unironically. That’s going to get us a lot further than spite.

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

The fight I was born for: Trump vs me as a dorky child numismatist who has never heard of any federal law other than the Thayer amendment of 1866

One of the things the Lost Cause did, and still does, is sanitize slavery and even racial violence.

Adelita Grijalva should get sworn in Tuesday. Republicans swore in 2 of their Florida members right away. But the government is about to shut down and leadership is more concerned with blocking Massie & my vote to release the Epstein files. What are they hiding?

Kind of would like a world where one of the President’s staff accidentally triggering an escalator safety stop doesn’t trigger calls to bomb the UN.

The parallels between Kash Patel and William J. Burns, a scandal-mongering 1920s FBI director — an FBI historian explains Some observers compare FBI Director Kash Patel to J. Edgar Hoover. A better historical match is the politically motivated William J. Burns.

I’m working on another (follow up) historical FBI Op-Ed. Nearly done.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

Removing information about slavery at Harper’s Ferry is like removing information about hydroelectric power at the Hoover Dam. “John Brown went to Harper’s Ferry because he was so infected by the woke mind virus that he had a pathological hatred of states rights.”

I am not going to say it. But its there.
