Absolutely broken country where one person has that kind of wealth to spend while others scrape and starve.

No one should be able to spend $45 million a month to get their preferred candidate elected. Absolutely broken system.

Just a quick reminder that overturning Roe v. Wade was impossible until it wasn’t. The GOP is perfectly willing to push and poke and accept incremental wins and numerous defeats for decades until their policy preferences prevail. Dems need the same approach with SCOTUS reform.

Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

From the JD Vance (Senate) campaign website. JD Vance would ban every single woman (or girl) from receiving an abortion, no matter the circumstances by which she was impregnated or the danger to her health. Maybe (just maybe) if she risks imminent death.

A man who fakes his wealth paired with a man who fakes his poverty. Sounds about white.

I have little faith in American institutions.

WSJ this morning. lol at the last bit. "Leaders on both sides need to stop describing the stakes of the election in apocalyptic terms. Democracy won't end if one or the other candidate is elected. Fascism is not aborning if Mr. Trump wins, unless you have little faith in American institutions."

Bookmarking.

There's a paper about 11th Cir reassigning cases on remand after reversal It's rare (this paper says it's happened 28 times from 1958–2012) and usually, but not always, related to failure to recuse. There's also a "you really screwed this one" rationale👇 repository.law.miami.edu/cgi/viewcont...

Since this paragraph has been deleted without retraction, I wonder if the campaign actually said this at all, or the reporter just made it up.

“The Biden campaign will draw on the president's history of condemning all sorts of political violence including his sharp criticism of the "disorder" created by campus protests over the Israel-Gaza conflict, campaign officials said on condition of anonymity.” Hahahahaha, go fuck yourselves.

Biden, Democrats scramble after Trump rally shooting upends campaignwww.reuters.com U.S. President Joe Biden's reelection campaign is scrambling for a new strategy after an assassination attempt on Republican rival Donald Trump in western Pennsylvania, including deciding to call off verbal attacks on the former president for now.

Is this… based on the premise that the problem has been his language, not actions and policies and stated plans?

Trump Allies Try to Bully Dems, Media to Shut Up About His Fascist Planswww.rollingstone.com Republicans are seeking to capitalize on Trump’s assassination attempt — using it to demand everyone stop talking about his threats to democracy.

Welp. God save the King, I guess.

There is a vast difference between deciding not to associate with people who see you and your friends as less than human and wanting to see people you disagree with harmed, imprisoned, or killed.

““Right now, too many Americans see those with whom they disagree as the enemy to be shunned, to be banned, to be ostracized, to be threatened with violence or even to have that violence carried out.”” Yeah Jake its the literal party platform of the Republicans thats the point

Jake Tapper’s Voice Cracks as He Talks About Trump Attackwww.thedailybeast.com “We are living in an era of political violence,” Tapper said on “State of the Union.”

Twitter is an absolute hellscape right now. Worse than usual.

Exactly. Condemn political violence - but condemn it on all sides. And condemn it loudest when the political violence is coming from the top and from those with the biggest audience.

Just going to note, regarding "political violence" that three and a half years ago, Trump was encouraging a mob of people who wanted to hang his own VP.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Wow: The Times is publishing my piece “Why Biden Is Too Old to Try to Murder His Vice-President” tomorrow!!!!

Since when do you have to be able to walk unassisted to be POTUS? It’s always striking to me how unabashedly ableist so many are. Sure explains a lot about how I’m often treated as a person with a disability.

IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?

Meet my new plant, Mrs. Purplebottom.

My 8 year old not to sneak candy after I’ve told him he can’t have it.

Name someone or something you trust more than the US Supreme Court.
