If you're wondering why this act of murder seems to be gaining more traction than others it's because politicians and the media decided to make it a big deal. You have to do that from time to time instead of always going "lol fml freal though" 24/7.
Pete Hegseth bears responsibility for THIS

whether hegseth gets away with it remains to be seen but it is interesting to see that he thought trump handed him a license to murder with this job, no questions asked, and now questions are definitely being asked.

Public smoking bans just got in under the wire, too. Younger folks might not realize how rare they used to be and how hard they were to enact.
it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
Bring back residential-use lead paint, you cowards.

Honestly shocked that extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean has been an apparent tipping point with many in the GOP.
GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

Liver cancer prevention in children. That is what RFK Jr trying to "scale back on" today.

He is a monster.
Today is the start of 2 days of meetings of RFK Jr.'s ACIP, where vaccines skeptics outnumber actual scientists and medial experts. Their target: the Hep B vaccine, which has a ~90-98% (after 3 doses) effectiveness rate in preventing infection for up to 30 yrs.

why? this notion that everything should be some cozy backroom deal is bad. liberals and democrats should publicly call out shitty democrats. we dont need shit people running the party.
Demanding more from Dems is good. Striking a deal behind the scenes with a politician who will need your support is good. Not airing out your political dirty laundry is good. Making a scene and saying “Dems are bad,” “don’t vote for this Dem,” is bad.

must emphasize again that the government and courts have not only attacked trans rights built in the last 15 years and that were *explicitly envisaged as part of the Equality Act they are using to attack them* but forcing a rollback of *decades-old* policies by individual groups.
Stuck on this gutting sentence on the Women’s Institute decision. For young people it’s watching the world close to them before they’ve had a shot at life, for older women it’s watching half a century of progress vanish. Either way it’s grossly, unbearably cruel.

THIS is what real "news distortion" looks like: The president of the United States bullied CBS into selectively editing an interview with him. The FCC should repeal its news distortion policy as a dangerous weapon against the free press, but if it won't, it must open a docket here
