This shit would be funny in a Benny Hill skit. Not so much for real.
The "F.U.R.R.I.E.S ACT" bill from Stan Gerdes (R-Smithville) would prohibit "non-human behavior" in Texas schools, including but not limited to:

-Litterboxes
-Tails
-"Leashes, collars, other accessories designed for pets"
-"Barking, meowing, hissing, or other animal noises"
-"licking oneself"

Voter suppression has been a BIG thing for YEARS. It makes me crazy because the Dems haven't been as vocal about it, in real-time, as R's would be if it happened to them. Check out @gregpalast.bsky.social's work. He's been covering this stuff for years. www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-v...

RFK Jr saying what literal experts have been for 60+ years.

Will his fans call him a brainwashed pharma shill & a mürderer like they call us?

Will this convince people to get vaccinated?
Will he admit he’s lied for 25 years for his own benefit?

No one had died of measles in America for ten years, until yesterday.

That 2015 death in WA was preceded by a 12y period of no US deaths. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. says it’s “not unusual.” apnews.com/article/meas...

"Mark my words: these elected officials will be responsive to their own voters. The answer, then, is to put pressure on these Republicans, because if they start to lose support from the very people responsible for electing them, that becomes existential for them in a way that Trump’s threats can’t."

You don’t have to watch MSNBC.

They are systematically firing their non-white hosts and you have every reason to turn the TV off.

I will not support bootlickers. I will not support those who kiss the ring. I will not support those who bend the knee. Ever.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

He's pretty easily triggered. I called him "Bongdildo" and it set him off for a half a decade.
Excited to learn that there is going to be a deputy director of the FBI who once replied to me in a testy fashion after I tweeted something like "Don Bingbongo" at him.
