Indiana Lab Worker Fired for Sending Creepy Threats to Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell

Published Jan. 13, 2023 2:01PM ET

An Indiana man is out of his job after sending creepy threats to Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, the lawmaker said. “I HOPE YOU FAMILY IS RAPED AND MURDERED,” former Patients Choice Laboratories employee Jonathan Reeser allegedly direct messaged to Swalwell, alongside more threats. Swalwell took to Twitter to post the full message and Reeser’s LinkedIn page around midnight Friday. The message came after newly reinstated Speaker of the House Kevin Mccarthy (R-CA) amplified his vow to keep Swalwell off intel committees. “If you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you wouldn’t have Swalwell on any committee,” McCarthy said Thursday, with Swalwell linking the threat to McCarthy’s “smears.” Patients Choice Laboratories tweeted an update Friday morning announcing the termination of the employee, saying “we do not stand for, or condone, offensive or threatening behaviors.”

Bill would ban the teaching of scientific theories in Montana schools

Montana Public Radio | By Ellis Juhlin
Published February 7, 2023

A bill in the state Legislature seeking to regulate science curriculum in public schools got its first hearing Monday. The legislation’s sponsor says by banning scientific theories, the policy aims to prevent kids from being taught things that aren’t true.

More than 20 people testified against Senate Bill 235, concerned that it could keep teachers from including gravitational theory, evolution and cell theory in curriculum.

Mia Taylor is a sophomore at Helena High School. She told the committee, "If we remove scientific theory from science curriculums, what can be taught will be limited. It is the school's job to educate its students."

The bill is sponsored by freshman Republican Senator Daniel Emrich from Great Falls. In his testimony, Emrich said the bill would make sure students are taught what a scientific fact is.

"If we operate on the assumption that a theory is fact, unfortunately, it leads us to asking questions that may be potentially based on false assumptions," Emrich said.

I'd love to hear his if the world is flat/round theory lol.

Maybe once every 4-5 hours of work or so I have customers bringing up Qanon style conspiracy theories or being racist, some have threatened to kill politicians calling them communist etc,

I now make them calm down by making vague statements that make them think I agree and I am in on their conspiracy but can't talk about it.
I imagine if I get psudo promoted from a tier 2 to a tier 3 agent where I handle the feedback and complaints among other things I will get these calls roughly every hour.

Soon she'll have to work with those "low-wage workers" she made fun of. Hopefully she'll learn something. Karma is beautiful.

If you ride towards a metal gate at full speed on a scooter while expecting the gate to magically open for you, then you’re clearly asking for a Darwin award.

Some people are detached from reality. Sadly, this doesn't result in good things for them.
