GOV. @andybeshearky.bsky.social : “All children are children of God. I didn’t want a legislature picking on those kids. If they show them hate, I’ll show them love.” 🏳️‍🌈

As @GovBillLee signs hate bills (despite having a sister who is married to a woman), next door Beshear leads with love.

Attack of the Sadistic Zombies The GOP budget is incredibly cruel — and that’s the point

I probably should do more to let people here know about free posts on Substack. So here's today's: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/attack-of-...

Amazing!

Democrat John Ewing Jr. defeated the Republican incumbent Mayor Jean Stothert, who had been in office for 12 years, in deep red Omaha, Nebraska!

RFK Jr., the foolish kook splashing about in raw sewage, is in charge of protecting our health. These are monumentally stupid times we are living in.
