Seeing 6% of a town’s entire population show up is impressive. As is the use of empty chairs to highlight the absence of the Nazi bedwetters. I also like the confrontational language like “Dipshit” used against an oligarch. We need to keep this momentum up.

Somehow, she thought these were good talking points:

“I voted in favor of the continuing resolution, or CR, which extends funding…” Rep. Harriet Hageman said as the booing began. She smiled as she continued, “…for the fiscal year until September 30.”

“It keeps the lights on for President [Donald] Trump and DOGE to continue their work,” she added, as the booing reached a crescendo.

It’s worth noting:

About 500 people had packed the civic center auditorium in Laramie, where a local reporter with the Cowboy State Daily estimated about three-quarters of the crowd were there to oppose her.

It was a “startling dynamic” in a state that Trump carried with more than 72 percent of the vote, according to the Cowboy State Daily.

The Luigi talk was interesting and suggests there is biparstisanship on the problem of the oligarchy:

During Wednesday’s town hall, the crowd also burst into chants of “Tax the rich!” and “January 6th!”

I’m also unsure why the crowd chanted “January 6th” given that the seditionists were pardoned and this is very red Wyoming. Could there be some bipartisanship here as well now?

These GOP townhalls are very enjoyable. Let’s hope we see more of this.

I cannot adequately emphasize how horrible this is.

May the purveyors of this unspeakable crime face the retribution they are due. Say, for instance, the same measure of enduring pain such as what parents would begin to feel upon realizing their child is taken away.

Thank you for pointing this out. We indeed need to remember that oligarchs lack empathy, and therefore, humanity. You stated it so excellently.

I can’t quite tell why she makes me think of tankies.

I feel for the people of Palestine and their lonely struggle. I hope the ongoing genocide against them somehow ceases soon.

I have no words for those who deny the genocide.

In a study presented at the 25th international Aids conference in Munich on Tuesday, experts calculated that the minimum price for mass production of a generic version, based on the costs of lenacapavir’s ingredients and manufacturing, and allowing for 30% profit, was $40 a year , assuming 10 million people used it annually. In the long-term, 60 million people would probably need to take the drug preventatively to lower HIV levels significantly, they said.

Accounting for 30% profit seems reasonable to me.

Yet they’re selling it for 1000x the price.

I understand they need to recoup research costs, but…

I have no other words.
