Live updates: Trump baselessly criticizes DEI in D.C. plane crash; 67 feared dead The American Airlines plane operating as American Eagle Flight 5342 collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport.

Asked by reporters whether he would visit the collision site, Trump responded: “What’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming? I don’t have a plan to do that, but I will be meeting with some people that were very badly hurt — with their family members, obviously.” wapo.st/3Q0kAzP

the important question isn’t “did Harris lose because the left is too woke?” it’s “why isn’t Donald Trump in federal prison?” We’re being subjected to lectures about politics by the people who held all of the power and let this dipshit slip through their grasp.

As awful as the next 4 years will be, we can cling to morbid curiosity about:
- when will Musk/RFK Jr. get booted?
- which cabinet member turns on him first?

We Did It, New York! Prop. 1 passes, protecting abortion in the state constitution

Congratulations NY! The Prop 1 win comes despite a well-funded last ditch effort by anti-abortion groups to trick voters. (They were putting up signs saying, "Protect Girls' sports, vote 'no' on Prop 1)

I'll never understand how the home-stead, small government, dooms day survival, "fluoride in the water" crowd would prefer FRAKING AT THE GRAND CANYON?! oh wait, they've probably never left their small town.

Texas abortion ban linked to rise in infant and newborn deaths. Is it a 'foreshadow' for other states? “This might foreshadow what is happening in other states,” said Johns Hopkins public health researcher Alison Gemmill. “Texas is basically a year ahead.”

Idaho bill to re-establish maternal death review panel advances to House floor • Idaho Capital Sun Idaho lawmakers advanced a bill on Monday that would restore a government-commissioned panel to study the deaths of Idaho mothers.

Southern Baptists Vote to Oppose Use of I.V.F. With almost 13 million church members across the United States, the Southern Baptist Convention has long been a bellwether for American evangelicalism.
