Three doctors who have served on state maternal mortality review committees told ProPublica that Ciji Graham’s death was preventable.
“There were so many points where they [doctors] could have intervened,” one expert said.

Reminded of how tv news looped the images of the military equipment the Biden administration deliberately left behind in Afghanistan for weeks after the withdrawal as if they represented a huge scandal
Omg...this is horrific.
“So Much Worse Than People Realize”: Never-Before-Seen Images Reveal Damage at U.S. Bases as Troops Describe Being Abandoned

Bob Fife on Danielle Smith telling separatists in the UCP to find another home: "Why didn't she say that at the beginning? This is somebody who has fed them, nurtured them and accommodated them, and now they're coming for her."
The guy who made his fortune by giving Alzheimer’s patients and their families false hope just tried to exploit the sex abuse his opponent suffered as a child for his own political gain.
Republicans are a Mad Libs of depraved cruelty and moral degeneracy. Just horrible people.
Powerless is a choice. They wrote the Russia sanctions, they hold the purse, and they hold the impeachment power. The only thing they gave up was the calendar: both chambers went home until after the election.
Make the Blue Tsunami Happen!
Republicans are trying to win the Midterms by lying about Democrats. Democrats are winning the Midterms by speaking the truth about Republicans. Vote Blue! 🇺🇸🗳️
OK British Columbia.......
Now it's your turn to make us all proud.
Vote wisely.
Not the mini-MAGA's.
Not the conspiracy theorists.
Not the wackadoodles.
Definitely not the CON's.
No one political party is going to give us all... but at least vote for the adults in the room.

All Americans and Europeans will pay the price for Trump's evil decisions. Hopefully, Democrats will win the midterms and restore US support for Ukraine before it's too late.
“I want to be a senator for every Texan who can’t afford one.”
Talarico is tying Texans’ struggles with housing, groceries & healthcare costs to the influence of wealthy politcal donors.
He called for banning corporate PACs & super PACs, congressional stock trading & partisan gerrymandering.
"The damage Trump has done to US power, to the US image, to the int'l order in just 2 years is stunning. If Trump is backed into a corner & gets even more erratic & extremist, which seems quite possible, who knows what will happen on the int'l stage. It’s not clear who or what could constrain him."
Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.
The amazing science journalist, Helen Branswell, died recently.

We don’t have the choice to get a new president in November. But we can vote for people who will do their best to remove or neutralize him. Vote like everything depends on it. Because it does.
Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task.
I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side.
I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register
10 years ago America saw this video
To this day, I still don't understand why THIS wasn't enough to say 'oh hell no, this is not someone we want in the Oval Office'‼️
And because we all know exactly what he said, I will NOT put up the entire video because the words are simply too disgusting
VOTE 🗳️
Margaret Hamilton has died at 90. Her painstaking work helped turn an audacious national ambition into a working system: In the famous photo below, she stands next to a stack of her team's code for the Apollo missions—pages that carried human beings to the moon. RIP.

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "Measles was eliminated back in the year 2000. And now, 26 years later, we’re dealing with it coming roaring back.
Pennsylvania has now eclipsed 1,000 cases across 39 counties, with five deaths."
Shapiro says amid the outbreak, vaccinations have now doubled.
The State Department held top level meeting with Alberta separatists. They discussed trading Canada's fresh water resources for support to destroy our country.
The US has mapped out a strategy to break us apart internally.
Canadian officials need to take this seriously.

Oh wow
In May, I reported Alberta separatists were using an app developed by GOP operatives with ties to US ambassador Pete Hoekstra
@theglobeandmail.com now reports the same operatives flew to Calgary on a private jet for a secret meeting with separatist leaders:

We are disgusted and disturbed to see a piece run in the
National Post that appears to potentially endorse violence against NDP Leader Avi Lewis for his argument that we all bear a collective responsibility to stop the genocide in Palestine.
See our joint response:
This should be a lesson to all Canadians about USA involvement in our industries. Just as with O&G, once in the door we just assume they will be good “corporate citizens”. They have never been a “trusted partner” and always America first. NEVER TRUST AN AMERICAN. Just an observation

While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."
