A Woman Died After Being Told It Would Be a “Crime” to Intervene in Her Miscarriage at a Texas Hospital

Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She’d told her husband that the medical team said it couldn’t act until the fetal heartbeat stopped.

This is your reminder that the House left without extending the PDA (Presidential Drawdown Authority), so there's no way for DoD to use the remaining 5.8 billion previously approved by the House.

Which leaves DoD looking under the proverbial couch cusions to find funds they can use for Ukraine.

Neat trick by House Republicans, right?

I don't believe in racism because it's unscientific bullshit.

I do, however, believe in racists because they actually exist.

All evil needs to prevail is for good men (and women) to do nothing.

"I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz."--Arnold Schwarzenegger

I am way too worried going into election week.

This worry cannot be healthy.

This election is gonna make me sick with worry.

Bob Woodward: I was there. He [Trump] received a call when there was one case of coronavirus in the US, and I asked him what he was going to do, and he said, "Don't worry; it's going to go away". He was trying to cover it up.

In July, 140,000 people had died, and I asked him again, "What are you going to do? What is the plan?:, and he said, "Don't worry. I have a plan, we're working on it, and I will reveal it in 109 days". I asked myself, 109 days? What's in 109 days? The election!

The overflow

Never trust anybody who says they have to tear almost everything down, and it will be painful, but that's how we get to their utopia.

That is the same kind of thing dictators and authoritarians say before everything goes to shit for generations.

Reminder forTexans: Colin Allred is a fouorth generation Texan. Ted Cruz was born in Canada.

There's something about Elon Musk, a billionaire, saying he and Trump have plans that will" tank the economy, and it will be painful" for us normal folks, but "it is necessary" ... that I find unsettling.
