Read this sorry story about how an academic was axed from conference panels because he was deemed too interesting.

He was told no one on the panel was expected to air difficult opinions in front of MPs that could damage the oil and gas sector

I don't recall a member of Congress facing a restraining order involving a former girlfriend - for allegedly threatening to release nude photos and videos of her, but maybe someone has the receipts. Rep. Cory Mills R-FL in hot water again. www.wesh.com/article/flor...

Florida Congressman Cory Mills ordered to stay away from former girlfriend

She filed for the restraining order when she says Mills began threatening to share nude photos and videos with others, and allegedly threatened her future boyfriends.

Everyone in the family planning office at HHS has been locked out of their emails + computers, so they can’t confirm if they’ve been fired

It appears that the whole office — which funds the country’s repro health clinics — has been cut

HHS Appears to be Cutting Its Entire Family Planning Office

Almost every member of the Office of Population Affairs lost email access and is unable to tell if they were laid off, workers told NOTUS.

Republicans are grooming a young generation to grow up to become degenerate psychopaths who indulge in racism, cruelty and anti semitism for fun.

Look at what they made you give.

Dear Lisa Murkowski,
You turned a blind eye to this regime. What is happening to your state is a tragedy. You need to shoulder the responsibility of inaction by the federal government with help for your state. There is no FEMA or anyone else coming to your aid. Is this making America great?

It's unacceptable that firefighters who die or are permanently disabled from work-related cancers don't receive the same benefits as others in the line of duty.

I'm working across the aisle to pass my bill to honor our commitment to these first responders and their families.

Dear @SteveScalise,

How could a rally of millions & millions of Americans simply reaffirming our founding principle of “No Kings” be a “hate America rally?” Do you not agree that we must never have kings in America? Shame on you.

Sincerely,

Your Former Congressional Colleague

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

Judge grants ex-girlfriend restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills

A Florida judge said Rep. Cory Mills had cyberstalked an ex-girlfriend and barred the lawmaker from going near her residence or workplace or referencing her on social media.
