Lauren Boebert's son called 911 in tears to report his father was "throwing" him around the house. Then she took the phone
When Boebert’s teenage son called 911 — gasping for air and sobbing following a physical confrontation with his father, the congresswoman’s now estranged husband — the MAGA conspiracy theorist did what any self-proclaimed “family values” politician would: she sent the police home and tried to cover up any evidence of her son’s harm.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The far-right militia leader will be 75 years old when he gets out of prison for his role in Trump's failed insurrection.

Supreme Court restricts EPA’s ability to protect US waterways
The conservative-dominated court upended the legal framework used for decades to combat water pollution in a decision lambasted by President Biden and environmentalists alike. According to the environmental group Earthjustice, half of all the wetlands in the contiguous US — ecosystems prized as habitat for fish, waterfowl, and other wildlife, as well as being critical natural purifiers of water — will now lose their protections under the Clean Water Act following yesterday's ruling.

The EPA's life-saving new anti-pollution rules are UNDER ATTACK from Republicans

Texas lawmakers issue 20 articles of impeachment against state Attorney General Ken Paxton after years of scandal, criminal charges, and corruption accusations
Any idea how awful a team player you have to be as a Republican in Texas to force your own party of enablers to finally pay attention to your years-long track record of brazen scandals, criminal abuse of power, and rampant, unchecked corruption? The answer, apparently, is Ken Paxton awful. Fun fact — only two officials in Texas’ nearly 200-year history have been impeached. Looks like that's about to change.
Florida mom who sought to ban Amanda Gorman’s poem says she’s sorry for promoting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion
Surprise, surprise! It turns out that the woman who demanded a ban on Gorman's historic poem read at President Biden's inauguration — objectionable only if you're a racist who dislikes material penned by Black women about overcoming oppression — is a hysterical bigot WHO DIDN'T EVEN READ THE ENTIRE POEM. Months before the Miami-area woman persuaded a local school to restrict access to Gorman's poem, she was posting antisemitic memes that offered up a summary of the notorious anti-Semitic text "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.”
MAGA congressman complains that Biden isn’t appointing enough straight white guys as judges
Yes. Sure. Right. Because the fact that 78% of federal judges are white and 70% are men clearly shows that the straight white male is American society's true victim.

Today’s Action: Support Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers on strike!
Union members at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have been on strike for more than six months — the longest newspaper strike in decades — demanding better healthcare and wages. While their strike has yet to yield compassionate action from their employers, an administrative judge justly ruled in the union’s favor two months ago, castigating Post-Gazette executives who “negotiated in bad faith, unlawfully imposed working conditions, and illegally surveilled workers engaged in union activities.” National Labor Relations Board Judge Geoffrey Carter’s ruling could award the newspaper’s employees as much as $4 million in collective backpay, a potentially huge win for labor. It also compels that management bargain in good faith and reinstate the mutually negotiated union contract from 2017.
The heartless, greedy, unlawful moves made by the Post-Gazette’s owners — and Jan. 6 insurrection supporters, it should be noted — stripped employees of crucial benefits and rightful earnings (remember that $4 million?). Unsurprisingly, the paper has yet to make any of these issues right, and the union needs our unwavering solidarity until they do.
Donate to the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh’s strike solidarity fund to match the union-busting bonuses being pocketed by people crossing the picket line! While you’re at it, sign the guild’s petition to have the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s insurrectionist co-owner Allan Block removed from the board of directors of C-SPAN!
Still the OD Action newsletter you've come to know and love.
