Grotesque and counterproductive mode of dissent. I wish it wasn’t becoming the norm, but it is.

Doctors and nurses and cancer patients are going to end up dealing with this, not whoever these people are trying to target. The rest of it, I’m out of words for.

Pro-Palestinian protesters target Memorial Sloan Kettering cancer center, accusing it of 'genocide' -

Via Scott MacFarlane:

Rep Dan Goldman (D-NY) intros resolution to censure Rep Elise Stefanik (R-NY), arguing she supports "Jan6 insurrectionists"

Goldman: "Stefanik referred to the duly convicted insurrectionists as ‘hostages" .. & alleges she's spread Trump "conspiracy theories"

🙄Response from Stefanik spot: "Failed Far Left House Dems are in absolute desperate free fall that Elise Stefanik continues to be one of the most effective Members of Congress going on offense every single day..."

This is what qualifies as good news these days

“Poland’s parliament has voted to remove the immunity from prosecution of a lawmaker who used a fire extinguisher to put out Jewish Hanukkah candles in the country’s parliament in December, an incident that caused international outrage.”

2/ And via Acyn:

Moskowitz: She brought up that Obama deported more people than Trump. Hold on a second. If the border wasn’t a problem until Biden was elected, then how were we deporting all of these people? This situation has been going on for decades so stop lying…

Crockett rocket! Via Aaron Rupar:

Crockett: "We are here today having a hearing and the pro-life party does not want to talk about the fact that there was basically state-sanctioned death at the Texas border."

"We also know that the gentlelady from Florida [Rep. Luna], who happens to be the only member to give birth this session, specifically admitted that she actually wants a child separation policy. I can't think of something more ironic."

I can’t believe I pay good money for a gym membership but when I get there they make ME do all the work.

Chick-fil-a funds homophobia, unlivable wages and child labor, just another fine christian ameican company.

"A Mississippi slaughterhouse that supplies chicken to Chick-fil-A is directly to blame for the death of a 16-year-old worker who was sucked into equipment and killed within minutes, OSHA said."

Senate Dems must investigate, hold #TFG responsible, & let the public know of the wrongdoing & crimes by #TFG & the GOP MOC who've covered up & aided him.

Raskin has approached Sen Dems & made the case that they might consider using their subpoena power to continue the investigation into the unconstitutional payments.

“I'm hopeful that our colleagues will explore any avenues they may have to recover the hidden info -Trump’s brazen pocketing of foreign govt payments-."

CNN cancels New Hampshire debate after Trump, Haley decline invitation

No need for debates when the electron has already been decided.

silly things like primaries and debates are just obstacles on the way to declaring Dictator Spray Tan.

COVID barely gets a mention these days – here’s why that’s a dangerous situation

https://theconversation.com/covid-barely-gets-a-mention-these-days-heres-why-thats-a-dangerous-situation-220867 #Covid #CovidIsNotOver #Pandemic

The United States experienced its second largest COVID wave of the pandemic in January 2024. For the year to December 2023, in England COVID rates peaked at around one in 24 people. During the same month, Singapore also experienced record COVID cases and a spike in hospitalisations.

Well done! A thoughtful invocation bereft of superstition. https://www.rgj.com/story/news/2024/01/16/satanic-prayer-opens-washoe-county-commission-meeting/72247424007/

Well, I asked my mom if she and my dad went to the caucuses:

"Nope. We didn't want to get COVID."

Excellent point. If you're a Republican who knows COVID is no joke, the last thing you want to do is hang out with other Republicans. 🤣🤣🤣
