Donald Trump just called Lauren Boebert to ask her to remove her name from the petition to release the Epstein files. She does not plan to do so.

America has officially entered its Dark Ages. God help us allābecause there's no longer any reason to believe Congress or the courts or media will.

The Republican-led US government is throwing its full weight, at the federal and state levels, behind punishing teachers, soldiers, or immigrants for their speech about the killing of a conservative pundit. It's as absurd and laughable as it is dangerous and dystiopian.

I understand that CK's remarks re: 2A happened within a larger context about gun rights and violence and so on, but I don't see how insisting on that context matters. Does knowing all this make him less dead? Does it make his kids less fatherless? IDK, folks...
