As predicted by people in the thread on my Original Post (below), Sen. JD Vance has scrubbed the "End Abortion" page from his campaign website. To be clear, this does not mean he has changed his mind. He is still an absolute anti-choice zealot. He just does not want Americans to know it.

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.

"Though I soon became typecast in Hollywood as a gangster and hoodlum, I was originally a dancer, an Irish hoofer, trained in vaudeville tap dance. I always leapt at the opportunity to dance in films later on." -James Cagney #BOTD

Is half the country suffering from insomnia?

If you’re looking for me I’ll be over here watching mystery series from around the world until things get better.

Amazing how clearly Vance marks the apotheosis of the Republican party. More than Reagan, GWB, or even Trump, he's a void, an empty vessel helping undertaxed oligarchs consolidate more power while using culture wars to distract. For his patrons, only deference; for the public, grievance and spite.

This is pretty great.

Everybody also needs to watch this reel from “liberal redneck” comedian Trae Crowder who has some personal experience with Vance www.instagram.com/reel/C9febBe...

Menendez’s biggest mistake was not appointing three Supreme Court justices.

Remember, if the government can obtain a conviction against Bob Menendez for taking bribes and stuffing gold bars into his closet that he was given for working on behalf of a foreign government, there's nothing stopping them from indicting you for the same thing.

That'll teach me to avoid a movie just cuz I don't love a couple actors in it. #StormWarning was excellent! #TCMParty

It’s simply too much to bear that the media can’t universally call this man unfit to serve

Omg, the look in Cochran's eyes. #TCMParty

This is so well written, well plotted. #TCMParty

This is good! #StormWarning #TCMParty

Uh oh. #TCMParty

Adding Ginger Rogers and Doris Day to my Letterboxd list of well-cast family. #TCMParty

Ah, geez, Cochran is KKK?! 🥴 #TCMParty

What I do for Steve Cochran. #StormWarning #TCMParty

Please don't make Bluesky angry and acrimonious because I can't go back to Twitter and Threads is too weird.

The media wants you to believe JD Vance grew up in small town Appalachia when he grew up in exurban Cinci. 45 minute drive down the interstate if you want to see a Reds game

There are varying definitions of which places belong to the cultural region of Appalachia. None of them include Republican Sen. J.D. Vance's hometown of Middletown, Ohio.

I didn't know Barbara Stanwyck and Ginger Rogers shared a birthday! Interesting because one is my favorite actress.
