I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is. The only period when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

Turns out Trump’s rusty “Bribe Force One” flying grift-gift from Qatar will actually require $1.5 BILLION in taxpayer money to repair, meaning Trump will take illegal money for a domestic emolument on top of the illegal money in his foreign emolument.
