Sam Seder of The Majority Report gives us a video of President Biden and a gentleman from North Carolina talking about Medicare negotiating for lower drug prices (for about the top 50 drugs, anyway...yeah, I’m sure a lot of that speech was prepared, but that doesn’t make it any less true)...
...and Thom Hartmann discusses college students at West Virginia University protesting budget cuts affecting curricula, mainly liberal arts of course (and 169 faculty positions? God almighty) – this is the real story I wanted to highlight; New Hampshire Republicans can all eat each other’s faces as far as I’m concerned (figuratively speaking of course)...
...and Jesse Dollemore and Brittany Page read an Email from a woman seeking an abortion in post-Roe America...to be honest, part of me is wondering why this woman didn’t have her tubes tied or is her partner didn’t take some protection measure on his own (pregnant at 47?), but that’s not my business and it’s not the real issue here...also, kudos to Dem Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for doing his part to protect women’s bodily autonomy (NSFW/H)...
...and tied to the abortion issue also, Farron Cousins tells us about lunatic Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, who apparently is planning to bring criminal charges against anyone who helps a woman leave his state to get an abortion (GREAT point by Farron Cousins about how the Commerce Clause allows someone to say “F you” to Marshall and help a woman seeking an abortion anyway, but yes, this will indeed have a chilling effect, which is what Marshall and the life forms who support him want of course)...
...well, in a story focused on roughly the same geographic area as the prior video, this report from CNN's Jake Tapper tells us about the gay Louisiana pediatric cardiologist who was pretty much forced to leave his state to practice somewhere else because of laws about not discussing gender identity for grades K through 12...kids are pretty smart IMO and they can tell the difference between kind, caring adults loving and respecting them for who they are as opposed to intolerant a-hole parents and politicians trying to cram an obtuse set of beliefs down their throats...
...and also from the “FAFO” file, I give you this Lincoln Project clip about 1/6 insurrectionist Joseph Biggs and his sentencing (NSFW/H - more here)...
...and here is today's regional weather forecast...
...and RIP Steve Harwell of Smashmouth...
