This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Wants to ban masks on civilians/curb protest, loves AI/wants to force it into govt, ensures wealthy he won’t tax them, wants to expand the surveillance state and police funding, paints himself as a Trump-style strongman/bully - I’ve told y’all before and I’ll say it again: Harrell is a republican

Harrell says yes—"what we're trying to do is make sure that masks with the intent to camouflage themselves to exert force over people is not what we want and we'll prove it that so I'm all for that."

Tens of millions of people have died from Covid.

Every country should have responded with record investments in public health infrastructure.

Instead the US government is putting us all at greater risk of more catastrophes by firing hundreds of top scientists whose job is to prevent outbreaks.
