That word "proudly" keeps popping up in GOP lies. It serves important purposes: 1) It stiffens any deception; 3) It gives the speaker something strong to play-act that looks authentic (self-righteousness); 2) It inoculates the speaker from criticism when when saying something shameful.

The Supreme Court long relied on careful, time-tested procedures to issue decisions. But secret memos by the justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how the court decided to bypass those procedures and create its modern “shadow docket.” See key takeaways:

Again: the gun you keep in the home for “protection” increases your risk of homicide by 3-fold, of suicide by 5-fold, and for men, risk of suicide more than 10-fold The second you bring a gun into the home you’ve dramatically increased the risk of death for your family 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
