The States : red states in a race to the bottom

What a dumb bitch. Really? You didn't think he'd use his unlimited EO powers to schlong you in the end?

Have the day you deserve, Lisa.

Can't wait for the rolling blackouts this winter...

Here's the article.

So where’s the registry of employers who don’t respond after the applicant goes to the interview and follows up?

INBOX: A soldier in TN’s Army National Guard tells us his command requested volunteers to support ICE in KNOXVILLE. “I have deep concerns… I joined to help people. Not this… People in Knoxville deserve a warning before we get another LA.” The email they circulated (not independently confirmed):

I have hated that man since he went on CNBC bragging about how Teddy Roosevelt would have loved the oil, gas, and mineral mining on public land.

When the CNBC hosts stop you to try to correct you, you know you done fucked up. Yet he confidently continued through his segment.

Yes, Teddy TRUST BUSTER Roosevelt clearly, he certainly would’ve been all-in on Standard Oil exploiting national parks and forests…oh, wait.

REPORTER: Do you think the independent redistricting commission should be disbanded? HOCHUL: Yes. I'm tired with fighting this fight w/ my hand tied behind my back. With all due respect to the good govt groups, politics is a political process. And to think we're gonna do this with a purity test ...

That was expected wasn't it? They're all out of state anyway so it's pretty toothless.

Cant wait to see how this plays out. Is party more important than racism in Virginia?

Hopefully VA learned from the CRT fiasco that gave them Youngkin and Dump and the USG Holocaust. Spanberger is a machine Dem like Warner, finger always poised in the air. Sears is the usual Dumpy MAGAt wackjob. Her support for DOGE ought to, by itself, destroy her.

Spanberger has a 12-point lead in polling right now FWIW. If she loses it's because something really bad is happening.

I've drunk plenty of raw milk in my day - multiple great-uncles were dairy farmers, and they all just got their milk by dipping it out of the bulk tank. Filtered and chilled, but not pasteurized.

Of course, I was also sick to the point of hospitalization for dehydration twice before I was 10 (no root cause found either time), so maybe buying store milk would've been a good idea.
