As I told Congress last week, Medicare for All is inevitable because current healthcare trends are unsustainable. The only real question is how much unnecessary pain, suffering, and cost Americans will have to endure before we get there. https://t.co/M1dPuZCBBL

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

Imagine a supremely qualified SCOTUS nominee with two Harvard degrees with honors, a SCOTUS clerkship for the justice they'd replace, and two years as a federal judge.

(That's Chief Justice John Roberts.)

Ketanji Brown Jackson has all of that, plus seven more years as a judge.

The first Black woman nominated to the Supreme Court is a former public defender.

Our first voice on the Court in its 233 years has a career of standing up for those most in need.

Say it with me, y’all: Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. This is what a leader looks like. This is what courage looks like. He didn’t fake bone spurs or flee to Poland to leave his people to die. 🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/2Lhk6ZBGRo

Putin on an alp

Thinking back on Tucker Carlson's "Has Putin ever called me a racist?" comment-it's wild how so much of the conservative culture war is just driven by being afraid of getting called bigoted.

Attorney general Paxton's opinion and Governor Abbott's letter have no legal effect, can't change Texas law, and can't override the constitutional rights of Texas families.

No court anywhere in the country has ever found that gender-affirming care can be considered child abuse. https://t.co/D8F7rfELdV

It is 100% repackaged homophobia by the way. When gay marriage was the big culture war issue the reactionary talking point was all about how men and women procreate and same sex couples don't so homosexuality isn't "scientifically justified".

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

Right wing media is split with some praising Putin and others are mocking the invasion to slam Biden. None of them seem to care about the people of Ukraine.

SKelley thinks Biden is responsible for the global rise in gas prices.

https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/gasoline_prices/

Notice that the US isn’t even near the middle of the list.

Also, another cheap shot at the polls, when he hasn’t even gotten close to the Last Occupant yet.

Rising petroleum prices are simply an inevitable consequence of dependence on a finite commodity. Every bit of oil taken out of the ground is that much less oil left in the ground. Duh.

Hopefully it becomes inevitable that nowadays any country invading another one, even if it’s next door, it turns into a quagmire that the invader loses. Problem with “explosions in Moscow” is that those would be followed by “explosions in New York and Washington D.C. “. Anybody really want that?
