Fox News was just hit with a BRUTAL ruling in a New York State Appeals Court, allowing Smartmatic's $2.7 billion defamation case to proceed against the network. Just wait till you hear who will be forced to testify: https://youtu.be/lQe6Oq21Q7U

Photographer John is putting little outfits on fish and taking pictures.

Easy hobby. It's like shooting fish in apparel.

They came for the trans girls but I didn't do anything because I'm not trans.

Then they came for the lesbians but I didn't do anything because I'm not a lesbian.

Mark my words... the #ChristianTaliban will not stop until they make the U.S. into #Gilead and a version of The #HandmaidsTale

This Fascist fever needs to break. The alarms 🚨 are starting to blink.

Long Live Social Security: Chief Actuary Says Bernie Sanders’s Plan Would Keep Program Alive Another 75 Years: The proposal includes applying two new taxes: one 12.4% tax on investment income for individuals earning $250,000 per year, and another 16.2% net investment income tax for specific business owners, including active S-corp. holders and active limited partners (the latter tax would be divided among retirement & disability benefits as well as the general TSY fund)-: https://www.barrons.com/articles/retirement-social-security-benefits-plan-17fc8330

Interesting that Mike Pence is resisting his Grand Jury subpoena.

Got something to hide, Mike? Got secrets of your own you'd rather We The People didn't know about?

Mike knew everything about the plan but told no one. Sure, Mike didn't pull the trigger, but Mike knew the plan - and said nothing like the co-conspirator to commit insurrection that he is.

Mike will lose this fight. This is the last battle. Pence's testimony - his isn't the only testimony here - is the icing on the cake.

I'm so angry — House Republicans have just introduced legislation to repeal the $35/month cap on insulin that Democrats passed for seniors on Medicare.

I need you to retweet and spread the word about this. Every voter needs to know.

Thank goodness!

GOP is bragging they hit a new record for Black GOP members of the House. Out of 223 GOP members of the House how many are Black? Four. Yep, just four. Zero are Black woman. The GOP Black outreach program will now shut down because that is enough for them.

Mike Pence claimed executive privilege to avoid testifying to the January 6 committee.

Mike Pence is now claiming legislative privilege to avoid testifying to a DOJ-empaneled federal grand jury.

Neither privilege applies to testimony about criminal conspiracies.

The Atlanta Cheating Scandal Is Not Over - This unjust saga is a significant blemish on Fani Willis. She railroaded teachers which obscured finding the truth. https://dianeravitch.net/2023/02/14/the-atlanta-cheating-scandal-is-not-over/ via @dianeravitch #Education

"The #Wyoming #Republican #Party is seeking to kill a bill working its way through the state Legislature proposing to raise the state's legal marriage age to 16, arguing that putting 'arbitrary' limits on child marriage interferes with parental rights and religious liberty."

I guess it's not being a #pedo or a #groomer if you call it "religious liberty."

It would be "extraordinary" — and unprecedented — for a federal judge to ban a drug that was approved by regulators more than 20 years ago, the FDA says.

But anti-choice activists, now turning their attention to the abortion pill mifepristone, are hoping a right-wing ideologue in Texas will do just that. https://www.businessinsider.com/abortion-pill-women-die-mifepristone-banned-democratic-ags-argue-2023-2 #news #politics #abortion
