This is actually disturbing. I don’t care whether that she’s a ghoul, the fact that they were able to hide a fucking congresswoman in the disability systems for 6 months is insane. How long does a normal person disappear within these systems, seemingly until they die if they don’t have friends.

I mean that is real and disturbing but I don't think this story is likely an example of that...

i met a guy who was turned into a mental hospital by his parents for being gay and began crying just telling me that there are unspeakable horrors in the mental hospital system, especially if you don't give someone you trust power of attorney

he said he had to suffer in them for almost 20 years before he was finally able to get out and warned me against ever going to one which I've never forgotten

However, she suddenly disappeared from the public eye around July this year, when she cast her final vote against an amendment to reduce the salary of Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs to $1.

wha... what?

Conservative Republicans introduced a series of amendments to the interior, environment and related agencies funding bill to reduce the salaries of certain EPA officials to $1 but a significant number of their GOP colleagues joined Democrats in voting against them.

If I was the target, this is the sort of thing that would make me host a doohickey crafting party with my fellow EPA buddies.

I've never heard of this news site before; but the articles linked at the bottom of this one are titled;

Trump is Right: The U.S. Should Leave the WHO

Socialist AOC Confronted at Capitol for Silence on Biden’s Migrant Crisis After Tragic Subway Attack by Illegal Alien

Actor Denzel Washington Gets Baptized and Becomes a Minister — Admits You Can’t Talk Religion in Hollywood

Can I ask why you posted the article from this particular site? not criticising you if it was a random pick, but I've seen the exact same story numerous less chudy places you could have used, and it's in the CoC to avoid chud sources

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 week ago

It was a completely random pick and I didn't bother doing some deep dive into the site. If you have a different site you'd prefer, then feel free to link it and I'll update the post.

Maybe just archive.org it and replace the link with that, so they don't get traffic(and our analytics)doggirl-thumbsup

When someone asks you who controls the federal government, the real answer is congressional staffers.
