I can't stop thinking about how Trump would eliminate our free, public weather service, NOAA. It's an institution that goes back 53 years and protects Americans everyday with warnings for tornados, thunderstorms and more. That's the Project 2025 plan. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

In Milwaukee, nearly 3,000 protestors marched east the Republican National Convention, denouncing Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza, the Republican Party’s nominee Donald Trump, and what organizers describe as the GOP’s “racist and reactionary agenda.” wapo.st/3WnEZCL

Look, you can’t expect the cop to risk his life to confront the shooter, it’s not like the shooter is an unarmed black man with his back turned

Today, Senate Democrats tried to pass the Reproductive Freedom for Women Act, a bill calling for codifying protections from Roe v. Wade into federal law. And yet again, Republicans blocked Democrats' attempt to protect our reproductive freedom.

Senate Republicans block Democratic bill codifying Roe v. Wade abortion protectionswww.nbcnews.com The legislation, which states that “protections for access to abortion rights ... should be supported," was blocked by Republicans who panned it as a "show vote."

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

If you haven't already, you need to read this so you can easily dispute the lie that Trump has no knowledge of or involvement with Project 2025.

If Biden can't campaign he should consider passing the torch, but the elite press (and especially the NYT) is desperately trying to will this into existence. And it's really gross. (2/2)

Biden's age and poor debate showing is obviously a legit story, but what we've seen over the last week is a hysterical feeding frenzy aimed at some combination of self-vindication, settling old scores, claiming a scalp, and the desire of some in the media to have Trump back in power. (1/2)

No one has written about this (I will) but Project 2025 will destroy federal lands as we know it as well as any progress towards recognizing Native peoples.

Easy to lose sight of the significance here, but the sitting president just gave a speech condemning the Supreme Court for a ruling that expands presidential power. It’s also a president who stands to benefit from this ruling, given that his opponent is vowing to imprison him and his family.

This is absolutely true. He made everyone worse. Even a lot of the people who hate him got so much worse.

I strongly believe that the Trump era ushered in a truly horrific era of general ethical backsliding and nihilism in the US across all fronts, one that we still can’t even entirely wrap our brains around. (And Trump’s grotesquely evil approach to Covid made it even worse).

NYT: Joe should quit, he stutters Philly Inquirer: Trump is a fucking criminal what the fuck are we doing here

God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."

To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Boardwww.inquirer.com Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Just to be clear: Trump is absolutely incoherent and unhinged. Just wall to wall lies, bluster.

This is an extremely encouraging story suggesting Trump is being taken for a ride by a bunch of incompetent grifters who are now in charge of his ground game. washingtonmonthly.com/2024/06/20/d...
