VIDEO Ugandan health officials and the country's WHO representative have announced the end of a deadly Ebola outbreak that started in September

House R's now ready to take up 2 abortion measures. One condemns attacks on pro-life facilities and churches (what attacks you might say?); the other forces MDs to care for infants who survive an abortion. Both obscure, won't pass Senate, & just a way of flying the pro-life flag.

Benjamin Netanyahu is clearly demonstrating why the deep mixing of religion (regardless of which religion) and politics is lethal to democracies and minority rights, and in fact the destruction of democracy is often the very reason that such a course is pushed by fascist politicians. This doesn't apply only to Israel, but to the entire planet, including notably here in the U.S. as well.

The Republicans in NY have stood up and called on George Santos resign. Shame the Republicans in DC can't manage to even pretend anger or outrage at Santos' lies.

"How was the date?"
"Well, when we got back to their place, they said, 'let me get into something more comfortable,' and started shedding their human skin."

Millions of Americans continue to get health care through the ACA despite republicans’ decade-long cruel crusade to kill it. Say it with me: #BidenBoom

Unlike the GOP who stupidly refused to participate on the #January6th Comm (Cheney/Kinzinger excepted), the Democrats confirmed they WILL participate on all the new select committees the Republicans are now teeing up.

Ask yourself why a group of #billionaires whose sole purpose is to slash #taxes and
#PublicEducation was anywhere near the GOP House Speaker deliberations.

Because THAT'S who the GOP really represents. #ClubForGrowth

The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complain about increased IRS funding, remember that the richest 1 percent of Americans evade $163 billion in taxes each year. That’s who the GOP is protecting.

Glad to see President Biden,
Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Justin Trudeau advancing regional progress on migration, climate and economic development.

Last term, my House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee convened key discussions about joint development work. Looking forward to ongoing conversations in the new term.

Investigation: Zinke misused position as Interior secretary | 16-FEB-2022 #GOPSwampFiles #TheBestPeople #RyanZinke #GOPSedition https://apnews.com/article/business-montana-billings-ryan-zinke-bf26ed5e11cc2b9d21c028f7fbf6cd0f

Rep. Adam Schiff today:

“Republicans claim without merit that this committee will investigate the so-called weaponization of the federal government. But what it’s really intended to do is to undermine the legitimate investigation of Trump’s incitement of a violent attack on this building, on this Capitol, on this citadel of democracy. An investigation that implicates some of the very members of this body who want to sit on that committee.”

Trump Org CFO Weisselberg is being sentenced to 5 months jail for massive tax fraud, of which he'll serve ~100 days on Rikers.

Kalief Browder suffered in Rikers for 700 days in solitary confinement on the false accusation he stole a backpack, then died by suicide.

Two Americas. And a reminder that a system cannot fail those it was never meant to protect, and that a system will always protect those it was never meant to fail.

For years, a major goal of the extreme right has been to undermine Social Security and Medicare, the most popular programs in the federal government. The fight to protect them from this assault starts now.

This seems promising.
“Federal deputy Erika Hilton has officially submitted a request to the Foreign Ministry to initiate the extradition of Jair Bolsonaro from the United States.” 👀

Let’s see if Ron DeSantis comes up with a legal theory that governors can independently grant political asylum to foreign ex-dictators. (They can’t.)

In the meantime, Bolsonaro’s wife claims he has suddenly taken ill. 🙄
Give me a break. Put him on a plane with Bannon and Donald Trump tonight.
