    Covering for Ginni?

    MORE Justice Thomas: "I do think that what happened at the court is tremendously bad. I wonder how long we’re going to have these institutions at the rate we’re undermining them."

    “Pedo grifters.” Third ranking House Republican going pure Q.

    The White House, House Dems, & usual pedo grifters are so out of touch with the American people that rather than present ANY PLAN or urgency to address the nationwide baby formula crisis, they double down on sending pallets of formula to the southern border. Joe Biden has NO PLAN

    They’re getting formula because they are BABIES IN U.S. CUSTODY. Newsflash: Prisoners get free healthcare in this country and the rest of us don’t. A wise man would make sure everyone got free healthcare! A resentful d-bag would try to take healthcare away from prisoners.

    Some of the arguments could be dramatically improved, but I don’t think anyone is arguing that illegal immigrant babies should be starved amid the formula shortage, in favor of American infants. “Let those other babies starve to death” is not the stance. That’s psychotic …

    This is a pretty gross ad.

    Republicans are trying to sink the candidacy of a black female conservative by falsely claiming she support Black Lives Matters with incredibly deceptively sliced clips:

    Odd request: Has there been a meta analysis of all of the research related to Long COVID? I see so many numbers floating around about its risk and it’s hard to tell truth from fiction.

    Just the sickest people. You have be deranged to see a shortage of any essential product, and complain that some innocent babies aren’t starving. It’s really mindboggling. The absolute worst of Zero Sum mentality.

    Here's a thread of Fox News' star hosts encouraging their viewers to get mad at the idea of helpless babies in U.S. government custody being fed rather than starved.

    1) Democrats are overly obsessed with GOP branding successes generally and Frank Luntz especially. This isn’t as important as you think (or as Luntz tells clients). 2) Just because rebrands can work a bit doesn’t mean *your* idiotic rebrands by gender studies grads will work.

    This makes sense if you pretend that Republicans like Frank Luntz had not successfully done this very thing and Republicans have not benefitted from his work for decades.
