(PS) What conclusion are we to draw from 192 House Republicans voting against money to relieve the baby formula shortage other than that they are willing to kill babies to score political points against Biden? Someone tell me any other way to read their inhumane, horrifying vote.

The bill is aimed at ensuring that families in need can continue to buy baby formula with WIC benefits by easing current restrictions that limit parents' options. This would protect families during supply chain crises or product recalls.

Sanctions aren’t stopping anything, but they are driving inflation and fuel prices.

I refuse to vote for useless measures that cause problems but solve none.

While you send $40 billion for your proxy war against Russia, I’m focused on baby formula for American babies. https://t.co/dJLNoECjaB

MTG has complained about a formula shortage for a week.

Then when they try to get some to babies at the border she complains.

Now she votes against giving formula to American babies.

What difference is there if there's a shortage if she doesn't want any babies to have any?

So, the origin of the baby formula pocalypse was Abbott management's refusal to repair dilapidated and failure-prone drying machines turning the plant into proverbial petri dishes for cronobacter, because...

In the last 24 hours, Republicans have voted *against* funding to fix the baby formula shortage, *against* investigating white supremacist domestic terrorism, and *against* making it illegal for gas companies to price gouge American consumers.

GOP Witness Tells Congressional Hearing (While Under Oath): In US Cities Such As
Washington D.C., Fetuses Are "Burned To Power The Lights Of The City's Homes And Streets"

During yesterday's hearing on abortion rights, the GOP's main witness claimed that D.C.'s electrical company powers the lights with incinerated fetuses.

Republicans aren't even trying to make their lies sound plausible anymore.

Fetuses are "burned to power the light's of the city's homes and streets," claimed Catherine Glenn Foster of Americans United for Life.

She seems to have gotten this urban myth from the people who got arrested for stashing fetuses in their house. https://t.co/v5ziSD7iCd pic.twitter.com/KGvE9iHMUe

Republicans also pretended women wait until they're in labor, and then demand abortions while the baby is crowning. Does anyone believe this? I doubt it. They just say this crap to demonize the over 800,000 people a year who get abortions. pic.twitter.com/qSAH7sJjxb

From "kids are pooping in litterboxes at school" to darker conspiracy theories like "great replacement," the GOP is increasingly committed to governance based on lurid fantasies and conspiracy theories, not facts. pic.twitter.com/2GnvoBoLAR

Was she told by the committee chair, her testimony was under oath, to please repeat what she had just said, reminded that lying is a felony & given a chance to correct herself. Failing that, the chair should have her escorted from the room & referred to DOJ for lying under oath.
