Of course I want a robot in my home. What could go wrong?

Trump said: β€œThe Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

Which outlet do think got it right with its headline?

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s β€œpushing boundaries” or β€œtesting the limits of his authority”

He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

I was really hoping one of them would call them a Kavanaugh stop. We should all be calling them that. Kavanaugh stops and Kavanaugh detentions.

You could do something about our homeowner insurance?
Eliminating vaccine mandates altogether? Just drag us back to an era with measles, pertussis, polio.
Finding more ways to fight β€œwokeness”? That does nothing to improve my life here.

Does nothing to help residents with affordability. β€œReforming” or eliminating my property taxes just places higher burden on those who don’t have homes, diminishes local control.

MAGA sympathizer/Chief enemy of the Voting Rights Act John Roberts says the Constitution remains "firm and unshaken" with major Supreme Court rulings ahead.

Which translates to the Constitution being in the most danger it has ever been. I don’t trust this lying asshole at all.

Measles outbreak investigation in Utah blocked by patient who refuses to talk The person refused to even tell health officials their address.

The right-wing war against public health means that now a person has refused to cooperate with a case investigation that exists for the sole purpose of minimizing the risk to others.

Really selfish behavior from a suspected measles case in Utah.

Meet the man who built RFK Jr.’s kitchen cabinet Jeffrey Tucker, who elevated Covid contrarians now working for the health secretary, is building support for Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again agenda.

Jay Bhattacharya didn’t come up with the Great Barrington Declaration. He was sponsored to write it by Jeffrey Tucker, a right-wing activist.

GBD was not Bhattacharya standing by his convictions. It was him selling out for opportunity.
