This story is creepy enough before you realize this dude is an anesthesiologist.

Have we ever had such a degenerate administration before?

IANAL, but one would think that legal penalties applied to speakers on one side of a political issue and not the other would be a violation of the punished sides' 1st Amendment civil rights.

After leaving WHO, Trump officials propose more expensive replacement to duplicate it HHS proposes spending $2 billion a year to re-create systems the U.S. accessed through the WHO at a fraction of the cost, according to officials briefed on the matter.

Another Trump SCAM on the American people!

Not only did we lose access to critical health data by pulling out of the WHO, Trump is now going to spend BILLIONS to recreate these systems.

Keep your eye out for the next Trump-flunky getting a massive taxpayer-funded contract here.

Because if Talarico is just going to be Fetterman, Manchin, Sinema or Cornyn/Paxton lite, there is no point for Black folks to hum and sway in those voting lines in November either.

But y'all got it.

Now ask yourself, why is Talarico being touted as somebody who will be "independent of Democrats?"

What does that mean, exactly?

Because if Talarico is running to serve Independents and MAGA, he has no business being the DEMOCRATIC Senator from Texas.

"And we're gonna punish you severely if you do try."

That's why people got so upset by the Bowen Yang/Matt Rogers podcast because not only did they tell Jasmine Crockett to sit down and stop trying, they tried to rally other white people to cut Crockett off at the knees by not giving her any money.

Petitioning our government is our First Amendment right. A right that exists even under this regime. Even under a Missouri GOP supermajority.
