‘Clearly chicken you weirdo’: People respond to JD Vance sharing video he claims shows migrants grilling cats Republican vice-presidential candidate Senator JD Vance continues to stoke outrage against foreign-born members of his own constituency, sharing video footage with his 1.9 million social media followers that he claimed showed African migrants in Dayton, Ohio “eating cats” — but instead appears to show nothing more than poultry cooking on an outdoor grill. “Kamala Harris and her media apparatchiks should be ashamed of themselves,” Vance posted Saturday on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter. “Another ‘debunked’ story that turned out to have merit.” Vance has claimed, falsely, in recent days that Haitians — who are not Africans — living in Springfield — a town of 58,000 which is not Dayton — were stealing, killing, and consuming their neighbors’ pets.

GOP Rep. Mike Turner Agrees Russian Propaganda Has ‘Infected’ Republican Base
The Republican representative who chairs the House Intelligence Committee said it’s “absolutely true” that Russian propaganda has influenced some of the GOP’s own members of Congress. Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday morning, Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) affirmed a fellow Republican colleague’s statement that pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine messaging had penetrated the party base in Congress. That colleague, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Mike McCaul (R-TX), criticized conservative news outlets when he said, “Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base.” (Daily Beast 4/27/24) READ MORE>>>>>

Ohio backs off proposed restrictions on gender-affirming care for adults
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s administration on Wednesday backed off its plans to impose rules that advocates feared would have restricted gender-affirming medical treatment for adults in a way no other state has.
The rules proposed by two state departments would have required the psychiatrists, endocrinologists and medial ethicists to have roles in creating gender-affirming care plans for clinics and hospitals. And patients under 21 would have been required to receive at least six months of counseling before starting hormone treatment or receiving gender-affirming surgery. (WTVG 2/7/24) READ MORE>>>>>
