I’m told that, in response to my prior tweet, Elise Stefanik deleted her 1/6/21 statement — that those who stormed the Capitol “must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” Here is Elise’s statement again. Feel free to share. #nomorecrackpots

What about election chat regarding Medicaid? Nice overview of why the election matters for this major source of federal money to states that is also very popular. kff.org/from-drew-altm…

only one man truly speaks for Ohio

Rufo does an entire post based on an old social-media video depicting someone who's not a Haitian and not in Springfield grilling what may or may not be cats. Billionaire Bill Ackman: This is a balanced piece on the topic.

Firing up the moral panic gin mill... We have heard this song before: Rufo's a one trick pony. Moral panics are all he knows.

I warned you about him. And I didn’t think it would be this bad.

Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio says someone has threatened to shoot Haitians on campus. All events canceled

Ohio Gov. DeWine on ABC says "absolutely not" when asked if he's seen any evidence of Haitian migrants eating pets and adds, "the Haitians who are in Springfield are legal. They came to Springfield to work. Ohio is on the move and Springfield has really made a great resurgence"

JD Vance should never be booked on another cable news show after admitting Trump world completely fabricated the hoax about Haitian migrants in Ohio eating cats and dogs. What a shocking admission on live TV.

Nice to see some actual stats on this given the moral panic claims. And, even if this was a problem in Springfield, why hasn't Sen. from OH Vance and his fellow OH GOP electeds (e g., Gov. DeWine) raised it previously...? Wldn't this have been nat'l news pre-elxn if they had?

This is well done...

💯 What the Secret Service is supposed to do--and did well here.

RIP Tito Jackson. Sometimes the brunt of jokes for being the also-ran Jackson brother just singing backup, but in live shows, held down guitar duties while keeping dance pace with his brothers (and singing backup/harmonizing): youtube.com/watch?v=2nlHMJ… washingtonpost.com/obituaries/202…

Imagine if this was the norm on CNN and other major news outlets...

Of course, this is a sneak preview about what to expect from an agency headed by RFKJr. I get it, a lot of Americans don't know who to trust, and feel like their lives were harmed by the pandemic response. But putting charlatans in charge of agencies doesn't fixthat.

“The US reported an average 1500 COVID-19 deaths a week for 2023 – comparable to fentanyl or firearm deaths.” This wasn’t from health officials but insurance actuaries.🤯 Covid-19 may lead to longest period of peacetime excess mortality, says new report swissre.com/press-release/….
