Just last week, Biden signed H.R. 2365, the “Dr. Emmanuel Bilirakis and Honorable Jennifer Wexton National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act,” which would be a part of stories like this if the journalists writing the stories were ethical. That they conceal this context speaks to their abject malice.

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.

Dem weirdos dreaming up tournament-style solutions to Joe Biden being the nominee and Catturd-grade reactionary types crying about cheating in the French election have one crucial thing in common, which is that they transparently lack the emotional maturity and patience required to be sports fans.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Everything you’re doing to raise awareness about Project 2025 (the GOP’s 900-page plan to end our democracy) is making Trump nervous. We know MAGA extremists want to take away more of our rights.

I feel like the trick with Project 2025 is exactly the same as the WGA strike. little snippet screencaps going viral all over normie social media that make some shocking thing you had no idea about instantly digestible to anyone regardless of their information level or background

“I am 100% behind the Democratic nominee for president because in the last 3.5 years we’ve passed the most consequential climate legislation in history and created the most jobs of any administration, while the GOP nominee wants to use Project 2025 to strip women of their right to an abortion.”

If elected officials get asked about primary chaos they should be able to turn it back to a line that references accomplishments and Project 2025 inside of five seconds.

Among the many evils of "crisis pregnancy centers": they are not medical providers and so do not follow HIPAA or medical privacy ethics. Instead, they gleefully give away (to right-wing orgs) and sell (to data brokers) all information you give them. They should be illegal.

Google “Massachusetts crisis pregnancy” and this link pops up. It’s part of a statewide campaign, including public signage (highway billboards!), urging people to avoid crisis pregnancy/anti-abortion centers. The Commonwealth is not fucking around with this.

Live look from Houston: (I’m not there.)

Trump is trying to back-peddle from Project 2025 - a corporatist-Christian Nationalist plan to gut social services + attack regulations + civil liberties. Project 2025 is headed by Trump's former Chief of Staff Paul Dans. John McEntee, a senior advisor on the project is one of Trump's top aides.

Because the election of the prime minister of France doesn’t control when the Rapture will happen according to a plurality of voters for one of the two major US political parties.

Curious how France is described as political chaos because two parties with ≈60% of the seats in Parliament will negotiate a PM, whereas Netanyahu is always described as the will of the Israeli people, rather than the negotiated choice among eight parties with 53% of the seats.
