That’s because it is terrible.

The debt ceiling relates to spending that has already been authorized. If you want to make cuts, Kevin, that's what a budget is for. You would know that if you were remotely competent and not completely over your head. Then again, no one in this country should be surprised.

I'm so old I remember when THE SAME PEOPLE were convincing the public that smoking doesn't cause cancer, and it was all about the horrible liberals wanting to impose Big Government on us.

In other words, "conservatism" is really just corporate lobbyist propaganda.

American Public Media Group has also announced that they are suspending the use of Twitter in an e-mail to current/previous donors

"After much discussion, we concluded that continued use of the social media platform Twitter by our organization was contrary to our mission and core values. Instead of being a neutral and efficient channel for serving the public, Twitter is now actively aiming to undermine the integrity of public media organizations like ours.

All of American Public Media Group’s channels will cease to post and engage on the Twitter platform at this time. The decision will be effective immediately, but we expect winding down use of the platform will take several weeks, primarily due to some of our contractual obligations.

The decision to leave Twitter was neither simple nor easy. It was instead the product of much discussion. In deciding to label public media organizations as “state affiliated,” then “government funded,” then “publicly funded” over a week period, Twitter inaccurately describes what public media is and does. That inaccuracy undermines the value of what our employees do for people and their families: providing accurate, unbiased journalism and information about our country and the world."

Excuse me, but how are people calling this a win?

What this 5th Circuit ruling means:

* FDA approval of Mifepristone remains

* Mifepristone cannot be mailed

* Mifepristone can only be dispensed after over 3 doctor visits

1. to administer mifepristone,
2. to administer misoprostol
3. assess any complications

Hope you’re rich and living where you can get three doctor visits in 49 days, ladies!

This feels like the soft crescendo before they remove more of our waning rights.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed legislation to extend insurance coverage and legal protections to women seeking abortions.

The former guy is right … if they can come after him they can come after you.

But first, you have to commit multiple crimes, in multiple states that include rape, tax evasion, the theft of top secret documents, multiple incidents of obstruction of Justice, election meddling, inciting violence, money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Oh, for Pete’s sake, lay off Airman Teixeira. Yes, he did some racism and antisemitism with the group of malleable young men he was influencing.

But he’s a Christian! A good Catholic!

What’s a little racism and antisemitism, after all? He’s a good Christian racist and antisemite! That’s what matters, as Marjorie Taylor Greene has tried to tell us.
