Typical Republican: The Racism and Anti-Science behind Texas Gov. Greg Abbot's Lifting of COVID Restrictions Texas Gov. Greg Abbott this week lifted the Texas mask mandate and allowed businesses freely to open. He is pretty obviously trying to please retailers and restaurateurs at the expense of vulnerable populations in his state.

Why the US needs to get out of Syria: Biden orders Bombing that kills 17 in Proxy dance with Iran At least 17 fighters were killed in U.S. air strikes on Thursday night on small bases on the Syrian border with Iraq. The US may have vital interests in Iraq, but there is too much bad blood for that relationship to go smoothly. We should get out of there, as well, and leave it to NATO.

Who were the Republican Senators afraid of when they Acquitted their own attempted murderer? The odious Trump once smugly observed that "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters." When it comes to the Republican base, he was clearly correct.
