@Jedigal007 @DrALJONES I can't know this for sure, but I believe Sinema and Cotham were sociopathic opportunists all along, with no moral center.

Keep in mind that what ProPublica unearthed about Clarence Thomas and his wife may well be only a portion of their corruption. People with this kind of impunity, and contempt for everyday people, rarely see limits to what they can grift.

Hard to imagine this story could get worse but Tennessee Republicans voted to expel the two black men who were involved but not the white woman

RT @JuddLegum@twitter.com

1. Something absolutely outrageous in happening in Tennessee

Republicans are moving to EXPEL three Democratic members of the Tennessee House

What did they do?

The three members expressed solidarity w/peaceful protesters calling for gun safety legislation

The GOP’s now in an open authoritarian phase of fascism. It’s given up any last pretense of trying to govern democratically. It’s betting the farm on abuse of power, violence, intimidation, coercion, because it has no future otherwise.

@StillIRise1963 💯 I’m sure if we knew for certain who they are and what they’ve done we would all revolt and declare open season on them. Not having the proof is the only thing that stops that bc what if we’re wrong. I say assume the worst and hunt them already 😂

Three kids and three officials gunned down in yet another mass shooting.

And what are GOP officials focused on?

Punishing lawmakers who joined thousands of peaceful protesters calling for action.

It's shocking, undemocratic, and without precedent.

Here we have two kinds of Tesla employees: The ones who see nothing wrong with spying on customers without their consent, and the ones who think it's wrong but keep it a secret anyway.

5/ More from Elie:

It is rare, RARE, that you will see #racism so surprising that it even catches *black* folks off guard. But, literally nobody I talked to, even as recently as a few hours go, thought #Tennessee would have the unmitigated gall to expel the two black guys and not the white woman.

The U.S. data is terrible and extremely sad but shows that suicide is a problem specific to the U.S. There is no broader Western crisis. Do you know of any GOOD papers explaining why the U.S. is an outlier among advanced countries?
