@GrageDustin @elliottengenMN Republicans need to propose alternative legislation. I would support raising age to purchase to 25 years, unless rigorous training such as in police or miltary. And most importantly, aggressively prosecute gun traffickers.

Here is Rep. @elliottengenMN proposing to Democrats to stop engaging in the same old debates that haven’t worked, and to instead work together to find a new visionary approach to keeping Minnesotans safe. Just hours later, they told him to “go fcking shoot himself.”

🚨 BREAKING: Several members of the Minnesota House Republican Caucus have confirmed to me that Rep. Aisha Gomez (D) told Rep. @elliottengenMN (R) to “go f*cking sh**t himself.” The incident occurred during a Democrat “sit-in” after a radical gun control bill failed to pass.

@tylerblack32 Fraud hurts the mentally ill by siphoning funds meant for them. This is not hard to understand.

@etoliver1986 @FoxNews These aren’t social programs. They aren’t doing anything but stealing. These operations hurt legitimate social services that help people, whether there is a war in Iran or not.

@FoxNews Republicans would love for you to believe social programs are keeping this country broke until you find out, what they spend on social programs in a year was 2 weeks of a war in Iran.

BREAKING: "We believe that at least half of the hospices in the entire area around Los Angeles are fraudulent." "Today we announce 800 of those hospices have been suspended. 800 hospices that last year charged the federal taxpayer $1.4 billion will no longer be paid." - CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz

@factpostnews 1) I don’t believe that he wants to ban them. This is rage bait for liberals. 2) SSRI’s are massively over-prescribed, but they are helpfil for many, and they should not be banned. Let’s have some nuance, please.

New reporting reveals RFK Jr. is exploring banning certain SSRIs, potentially barring drugs like Zoloft, Prozac and Lexapro. Decades of research shows SSRIs are safe and effective.

This is the worst one at the Met Gala. Sarah Paulson’s dollar bill mask is some sort of protest against the 1% of which she is a part. If you want to protest the rich don’t go to an event that costs $100k per ticket. And give your $12m net worth away.

I worked as a physician in a community based hospital in the heart of Brooklyn, NY, during the entire pandemic. Hospitals were NOT overrun, and at no point were we loading bodies into freezer trucks. You were lied to. Fear is a powerful drug.

@DrDiGiorgio @MaxJordan_N I’m glad you asked. The current method of under-funding low-barrier treatment on demand and wraparound services and then asking “so how’s the current method working out?” like it’s some sort of gotcha hasn’t been particularly useful, I agree.

@DrDiGiorgio The only treatment in many cases is restricting acess (locking them up). Often these patients will become violent in the hospital if they are forced to stay. Jails won’t take them. And even if locked up, not many will actually stay clean afterwards.

@SNienow More money to the teacher unions to protest and strike. The teacher unions want educational outcomes to be bad, so they can work less and demand more money to “fix it.”

This is the disgusting map we are heading towards. Ugly insanely gerrymandered districts, that in the end produce a near tie. Congress can end this race to the bottom with a simple five-page law instructing courts to strike down politically motivated redistricting.

cinesthetic.@TheCinesthetic·
In The Sixth Sense (1999), when Cole says “I see dead people,” the camera cuts to a tight close-up of Bruce Willis. Producers worried that shot might give the twist away. Test audiences never noticed. In hindsight, it’s hiding the answer in plain sight.

🚨 What if both parties went all-in on gerrymandering every single state, maxed out for whichever party controls it? The House would end up with 262 Republican seats to 173 Democratic seats. That’s not spin. It’s the outcome from FiveThirtyEight’s most aggressive redistricting simulation. Republicans control more state governments with multiple districts, and Democratic voters cluster in dense cities — making it easier to “pack” blue votes into fewer districts when the map-drawers want to. Even in a full-throttle, both-sides-do-it scenario, the math delivers a clear national edge. Fair maps matter. Independent redistricting commissions anyone? What do you think fixes this? 🇺🇸

@RobinStanfill2 That’s literally the role of the Supreme Court. If a law passed by Congress is unconstitutional, it is struck down. Did you take high school civics?

If Republicans aggressively gerrymander the South and eliminate up to 10 Democratic seats under a narrowed VRA, Democrats could become desperate and respond with absurd maps in blue states. This 17-0 Illinois map could become legal, flipping three seats from 🔴 to 🔵.

“Delta Dental called itself a nonprofit — while paying its CEO $48 million in 4 years.” Her compensation reportedly rose from $4.5 million a year to $15 million. Meanwhile, provider pay was cut and reimbursements barely moved. Nonprofit for taxes. For-profit at the top.
