So the TX judge's argument to ban mifepristone is baseless: Flimsy Antiabortion Studies Cited in Case to Ban Mifepristone Are Retracted A medical journal has retracted two studies examining the safety of the abortion pill mifepristone after a federal judge in Texas cited them when ruling that the drug should be taken off the market
  3. They just can't stop committing new crimes: Wisconsin ethics panel recommends felony charges against Trump committee, lawmaker
  4. Who knew that Kellyanne Conway could be right about something??? Kellyanne Conway has warned Republicans away from bans or limits on IVF — and, in fact, advised them to forcefully support such treatments. During a Capitol Hill briefing in December, as Alice reports, Conway shared polling that found that an overwhelming number of voters (86%!) support IVF — even those who consider themselves “pro-life” and evangelicals, 78% to 83%, respectively. The article starts below the courthouse photo: Playbook: What the GOP would prefer not to discuss
  5. Tommy Tuberville once again earns a nomination as Dumbest Man in the Senate: Tommy Tuberville On Alabama Supreme Court Deeming Embryos Children: Great! Wait, Bad! In the span of three minutes, the GOP senator said he was “all for it,” didn’t agree with it, supports IVF and just needs to read the bill. (There is no bill.)
  6. Are you saying they geo-blocked it? There are VPNs that can get around that.

  8. When spreading bullshit conspiracies, it is a bad idea off offer a reward for anyone who can prove your BS is BS. Judge rules Mike Lindell must pay $5 million to election fraud dispute challenge winner

  13. If we needed any further proof the people behind this GoFundMe are grifters: Financial Influencer Grant Cardone Says He Can Make You A Billionaire. His Investors Claim He Defrauded Them. As a prominent member of the Church of Scientology, Cardone is also accused of infusing the controversial organization’s teachings into his business methods... Danger, Will Robinson!!!
  14. A summary from Business Insider: John Oliver just made Clarence Thomas an offer he thinks the SCOTUS judge can't refuse
  15. Let's face it: At this point, when the MAGA cult says "woke", it just means "anything I don't like".
  16. "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver" just aired its first episode of the year on HBO Max. The topic was the corruption in SCOTUS. After skewering other justices first, he zeroed in on Clarence Thomas. Then at the end, he made this offer to Thomas: A new $2.5M motor coach, and $1M/year for life if Thomas permanently leaves the court. And I think Oliver is serious, and would fund this himself. This episode will probably be available soon on Youtube.
  17. NYT: Poll Ranks Biden as 14th-Best President, With Trump Last A poll of historians. The best line: Mr. Biden’s signature accomplishment, according to the historians, was evicting Donald J. Trump from the Oval Office. LOL!
