But Johnson is pretty pro-porn, right? He and his son have an app that monitors it after all.

Sure but he seemed like he was pretty dug in from the start. He's using the same argument that Schumer used when he refused to shut down the first time. You can understand why people are mad, no?

There wasn't the pushback because we were not 40 days in and he didn't have enough to join him until now.

Healthcare that is dictated by insurance companies is not a healthcare for the people.

Mega🧵 CDC IGNORES URGENT EPI AID REQUESTS

1/9 🚨 Maine is facing the largest HIV outbreak in its history.
It asked CDC for help.
😡 CDC is ignoring the request.

This is not getting enough attention in the news — and it should be.

Maine sought federal help amid its largest HIV outbreak in state history. It’s still waiting

After initially approving Penobscot County's request for CDC aid, the agency put it on hold. Meanwhile, the virus spreads.

🚨🚨Hey folks apparently we still have a chance to stop this deal but we need to get one of these 8 to flip their votes: Durbin, Rosen, Cortez Masto, King, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Hassan. If one of them is yours, please get on the phone right now and tell them to reverse their vote. 202-224-3121🚨🚨

Our calls & outrage are working! Sen Kaine, Rosen, Shaneen & Hassan said if they hear from more of their constituents, they could change their votes from a yes to a no. Rs may not be voting for this bill also, so call your R senators too. Keep the phone calls coming bc it’s working! 202-224-3121

Could smaller families 'rewild' the planet — and make humans happier?

Many economists and business leaders are raising alarms about falling birthrates. But advocates for lower human populations say a less crowded world will be happier and more sustainable.

For my #science driven friends, this quote among many explains why I didn't know who he was and would never have followed him.

"Gun control, like vaccines and masks, is focused on making people feel safe by taking freedoms away from others. Don’t fall for it."

What did Charlie Kirk actually stand for?

Gen-Z For Change launched a website as a compilation of his quotes.

He was honored by members of Congress.

He did little more than resonate with a certain block of conservatives.
