#Louisiana #Republicans are busy classifying #mifepristone and #misoprostol as Level IV controlled substances. That puts them on par with some illegal narcotics, and criminalizes their possession with prison time.

The law exempts pregnant women from prosecution, but will make Louisiana the only state to classify these safe and effective drugs as "dangerous drugs of abuse."

#Republicans De-Fund #Cancer Cure Research

"Republicans, refusing to give Biden a 'win,' voted against the [cancer research] funding. Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country."

Vote OUT every Republican! They are the cancer.

A new analysis reveals how beginning in 2018, American #billionaires began paying a lower tax rate than the working class. We can thank #Trump's giant tax scam, and decades of #Republican policy catering to the ultra-rich.

"A coordinated minimum tax on the super-rich will not fix capitalism. But it is a necessary first step."

Voting Republicans out of office is necessary, too.

If #Trump gets back into the White House, America will see the "bloodbath" he's promised. This murder-curious dictator is who #Republicans have chosen to lead them -- and his disciples like #KristiNoem are proudly expressing their willingness to kill.

#Tennessee has a lot of problems: infant mortality and maternal death rates, poverty, lack of healthcare access, low education spending, and many more.

But the #Republicans in the state legislature have different priorities. They’re busy passing huge corporate tax breaks!

#Arizona's conservative Supreme Court ruled today that an abortion ban dating to 1864 -- before Arizona was even a state -- will soon go into effect. Arizona's upcoming #abortion ban will have NO exceptions for rape or incest.

Every sitting AZ Supreme Court justice was appointed by a #Republican governor; their 4-2 decision comes one day after #DonaldTrump fully endorsed states making decisions like this.

"Republican [State] Rep. Jon Stone’s New Hampshire law enforcement career ended when he threatened to kill fellow police officers in a shooting spree, and murder his chief after raping the chief’s wife and children, all while he was already under scrutiny for his inappropriate relationship with a teen girl."

He's still in office, though! And (surprise) he's a firearms dealer.

With Trump's assertion that #Israel should "finish the problem" and continue bombarding #Gaza, more #Republicans are voicing calls for outright #genocide. They thirst for blood and slaughter, not for peace.

Here, #Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg says Gaza should be treated "like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick." Nagasaki and Hiroshima are, of course, the cities where the US dropped nuclear bombs in WWII.

Disinformation-peddling #Republicans continue to spread nonsensical racist conspiracy theories to inflame their ignorant voters.

Michigan #GOP State Rep. and #ElectionDenier Matt Maddock saw the #Gonzaga men's basketball team arriving at Detroit's airport and immediately tweeted out false claims that the team buses were actually carrying "illegal invaders."

His tweet is still up, with 5M+ views.

No matter what happens in the world, #Republicans’ first instinct is to blame minorities and fan the flames of racism. Hatred and division are the currency of the #GOP.

This guy is running for governor! Utahns deserve better.

Scott Presler is an Islamophobe, an #ElectionDenier, a #QAnon promoter, and an ambassador for a PAC affiliated with disgraced former congressman George Santos. For a time, Presler worked for the #Virginia #Republican party -- until he allegedly got caught having sex in the Party's office complex and sharing photos of the incident online.

Now, RNC co-chair Lara Trump wants to hire him to help run the #GOP.

#Florida’s #GOP governor #RonDeSantis said he wanted to “Make America Florida.”

Now he may get his wish: his anti-science policies, his anti-vaccine disinformation, and his whacko choice for state Surgeon General are poised to kill Floridians and spread infectious disease from Florida all over the country.

#Republicans threaten every state, even where they aren’t in power.

When #Republicans overturned Roe, #Idaho state law banned doctors from providing any kind of #abortion care. Ever since, OBGYNs have lived in fear of taking any action that the state could consider contributing to the "termination" of a pregnancy.

Practitioners are leaving the state, and maternity wards are shutting down. Idaho has lost 22% of its OBGYNs overall, and more than 50% of its OBGYNs who handle high-risk pregnancies!

#Republicans are ready to make cuts to #SocialSecurity and #Medicare benefits — and now they want to raise the eligibility age, too.

Lest anyone entertain the idea that a #Trump presidency would somehow be better for Palestinians: in addition to Trump saying #Israel has “gotta finish the problem” and keep bombarding #Gaza (see up-thread), #JaredKushner is already salivating over the profits he plans to extract from the Gaza Strip.

They’re ready to bulldoze Gaza and turn it into Trump hotels.

In #NorthCarolina, Michele Morrow, the #Republicans' choice for state school superintendent, has called for #JoeBiden, #BarackObama, and other Democrats to be executed by firing squad. She appears to be a #QAnon believer, using its slogan "WWG1WGA" and accusing various people of harvesting adrenochrome from babies.

Morrow's own kids are homeschooled, and she advocates dissolving the very public school system she's running to be in charge of.
