The GOP is telling us exactly what their priority is, using deadly white nationalist rhetoric about a "migrant invasion" & to crate a show-me-your-papers force to round up millions, deporting Dreamers and ripping apart American families with mass family separation. This is their priority.

Most headlines on the GOP platform abortion changes will be garbage about “softening.” Pay attention to the reaction from a top anti-abortion group: “It is important that the GOP reaffirmed its commitment to protect unborn life today through the 14th Amendment.”

❗❗❗It literally says embryos should have 14th amendment rights. Right there in the second sentence. "Softens" must be NYT for dissembles.

One reason why a Parkinson’s expert might have visited the WH 8 times in 8 months is bc a big Parkinson’s bill just got passed and signed. But don’t let that little bit of fact get in the way of your shitty ableist rumor mongering, NYT

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

NYT back in 2016: “Donald Trump Softens His Tone, and the G.O.P. Hopes It Will Last.” What did he do once he got into office? I recall him stealing thousands of children from their parents at the border, in just one horrific action.

Worth noting the EPA's brief correctly uses "nitrogen oxide" 7 times, and the EPA submitted a declaration from an official who used it twice. But nobody involved in the majority opinion, Justices and clerks, bothered to take the EPA's brief seriously, and so none of them noticed the error.

Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

"Trump’s rhetoric is clearly fascist. He uses the term “vermin” – popularized by dictators Hitler and Mussolini – to describe his enemies. And he threatens to use the Justice Dept for “retribution” against those enemies. If Trump ever regained the White House, we’d be in enormous trouble on Day 1"

The media need to stop using the word “conservative” to describe fascists. MAGA isn’t trying to “conserve” American values. It’s attempting to trash bedrock democratic principles and create an America that has never existed before. My newsletter. www.stopthepresses.news/p/stop-sayin...

Hill reporters will be in a frenzy stalking Dem to ask about Biden Maybe, and I know this is a big ask, one or two could break from their herd mentality and ask some Republicans about Project 2025 There's plenty of material but would mean doing a bit of research -- and might not get them "scoops"

Reid Epstein doesn't bother to mention Project 2025, which other outlets have been reporting on all weekend and which NYT had once led on. Because Epstein is the one choosing to ignore fascism. Not Biden and not even NYT's competitors.

Both sides politics by necessity has to treat policy as campaign tactics, not ideology that has real world impact on voters' lives.

I love the sense of wonderment, why is a campaign focusing on the grim, privatized, theocratic, rights-less vision (led by a driveling lunatic) pushed by the party opposite?

President Biden and other Democrats are increasingly focusing their attacks on an aggressive right-wing agenda called Project 2025 that is being pushed by allies of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump — prompting Trump and his team to lash out in recent days at supporters of the effort.
