WHEN THE SUPREME Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June of 2022 — destroying the constitutional right to abortion access — conservative Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his concurring opinion that the court should also reconsider previous rulings that established the right to contraception. Less than a month later, all but 10 House Republicans voted against a proposed bill that would have enshrined access to birth controlinto law. Senate Republicans didn’t support the legislation, either. If it wasn’t clear then that conservatives might move to restrict access to contraception, it is now.
On Thursday, right-wing activist Chris Rufo — the man largely responsible for engineering widespread conservative moral panic about “critical race theory” and so-called “woke” politics — responded to an X, formerly Twitter, post from writer Michael Shermer highlighting Republican opposition to contraception. Shermer’s post quoted a 2023 video from the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank, that said “conservatives have to lead the way in restoring sex to its true purpose, and ending recreational sex and senseless use of birth control pills.”
Thank you, @IrezumiKiss!
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A federal judge on Thursday sentenced to prison a former Florida state legislator who catapulted to national attention for being the sponsor of a bill barring classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity that was called by its critics the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Former Rep. Joe Harding (R-Williston), who plead guilty in March to one count each of wire fraud, money laundering and making false statements as part of a scheme to fraudulently obtain a $150,000 federal Covid-19 relief loan, was sentenced to four months in prison.
“The theft of any amount of taxpayer funds is inexcusable,” said Jason Coody, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Florida, in a statement. “However, the defendant’s deceptive acts of diverting emergency financial assistance from small businesses during the pandemic is simply beyond the pale."
how does it?"Today’s sentence both punishes the defendant’s criminal conduct and should serve as a significant deterrent to others who would selfishly steal from their fellow citizens to unlawfully enrich themselves.”

Folks, you must watch this. It is a great piece of journalistic sleuthing!
I highly recommend watching Jonathan Katz's short video to the end. Seeing and hearing the actual research on how this was uncovered is enlightening. The expose unveils the background of Senator Britt's speech and provides valuable context and insight into how she framed her response to the President's address to the nation. It will help you to make informed judgments.
I'm sure some saw this link and passed on viewing it as I did at first. No one should miss looking at this five-minute expose on the junior Republican Senator from Alabama.
'Cliff-hanger' Notes:
Senator Britt deliberately smeared Joe Biden with false and misleading accusations.
- The time period of underage sex trafficking was during the Bush administration! Nothing tied to anything under Biden's control.
- It didn't happen in the United States, as Senator Britt intimated! It did happen in that Third World status nation—Mexico—years ago before Biden was even Vice President.
- Britt makes it appear she gathered this discretely. It wasn't. The person telling this story is a professional expert on the subject matter who has delivered it in open testimony before Congress and other organizations for years—not just in private.
“We cannot ignore it when the Speaker of Hungary’s National Assembly asserts that Putin’s war in Ukraine is actually ‘led by the United States,’” Pressman said. “We cannot ignore a sitting minister referring to the United States as a corpse whose nails continue to grow. We can neither understand nor accept the Prime Minister identifying the United States as a ‘top adversary’ of our Ally, Hungary. Or his assertion that the United States government is trying to overthrow the Hungarian government—literally, to ‘defeat’ him.”
“While the Hungarian government’s wild rhetoric in state-controlled media may incite passion, or ignite an electoral base, the choice to issue, on a daily basis, dangerously unhinged anti-American messaging is a policy choice, and it risks changing Hungary’s relationship with America,” Pressman said.
The ambassador called out Orbán’s “systematic takeover of independent media,” the use of government power to “provide favorable treatment for companies owned by party leaders or their families, in-laws, or old friends,” and law defending “a single party’s effort to monopolize public discourse.” “[T]his is not something we expect from allies,” Pressman said.
Oxymoronic even."Republican" and "leadership" are mutually exclusive terms.
Saw this clip on Kimmel highlighting trump’s overall weirdness. Granted, it’s not expected for most to recognize what’s being sung, but why can’t he clap or do something to acknowledge the performance rather than just standing there awkwardly? But, in the end, true to self, he puckers his lizard lips out to kiss the woman.
