Gestapo shit.

Regardless of one’s position on abortion, this is legally correct.
If we didn't laugh, we'd cry. Trump's self-dealing makes Warren G. Harding’s look like a child shoplifting candy.

Props to the Episcopal Church for using its religious freedom to call out this disgusting act.
4/ In Texas, Josseli Barnica’s husband says a hospital told her that it would be a “crime” to help manage her miscarriage.

Sen. Schmitt staffer Nate Hochman is now criticizing Rosie Rios, chair of the US Semiquincentennial Commission, for saying Harriet Tubman & Susan B. Anthony are her favorite American heroes.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic.

The VA says it's about to shut down the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. We want to hear your story.
The incompetence may be all that saves us
