Biden shouldn’t cave to the bigots on evacuating our Afghan allies by Catherine Rampell
No matter what this president does, demagogues will accuse him of "open borders.”

No. He should not. First, because it’s the moral thing to do, and second, because fuck them. It’s not like Tucker and his ilk are going to go start praising Biden for not bringing in the refugees.

Ron DeSantis has ‘made a monumental mess of masking in public schools’ | Column by Mac Stipanovich
Ron DeSantis is a governor uninterested in actually governing, a lawyer with little respect for the law, an anti-elitist with an Ivy League education and a hypocrite unbothered by inconsistency.

And no Tucker, (can we just start calling him Fucker yet?), scorn of the defiantly unvaccinated and their enablers is not just like lynchings.
