Maggie Astor: That's the first topic in the piece!

Excited to introduce a project I've been working on for a long time: a thorough comparison of Biden and Trump on the issues. "The stakes, not the odds," to borrow from Jay Rosen. The initial version has 6 topics, but I'll be adding more, as well as updating with new statements/policies. Gift link:

Where Joe Biden and Donald Trump Stand on the Issueswww.nytimes.com Here’s what President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump have done and want to do on abortion, democracy, the economy, immigration, Israel and Gaza, and Social Security and Medicare.

Each topic starts with a brief comparison, and then you can delve deeper. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Click on one of the sub-topics — say, "transfer of power" from the screenshot above — and there's much more. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Are there topics you'd like me to add? Let me know. (Current to-do list, in alphabetical order, not order of priority: China, climate, crime, education, guns, health care, labor, public health, technology, trans rights, Ukraine.)

Repro rights??

That's the first topic in the piece!

Where are LGBTQ rights?

Very important and on my list to add. I wrote "trans rights" in my what's-coming post because that's been the most prominent topic under the umbrella lately, but that section will cover LGBTQ rights more broadly as well.

Hey Maggie- read this. I agree with him on this. twitter.com/MarkJacob16/...

Please fix this because Mark is correct here. This gives Donald a pass on his horrible record and downplays Biden's achievements.

That appears to be a short excerpt that was on the homepage this morning and is gone now. Article explicitly says he's responsible for ending Roe. This is the intro; the rest goes into more detail. Not sure what you mean by downplaying on Biden. That line was about Trump; Biden has his own section.

Did you read Mark's other comments in his thread? That's what I was referring to.

Thank you.

This is an awesome piece, thank you!! Are you able to broaden past just abortion rights? The MAGA crowd is very serious about returning women to confederacy/slave status, the attacks on “DEI” and women in power are just beginning. You might want to do “porn” too since *everything* is porn to them.

Ah, misread your ‘to do’ as the list of topics, next time I’ll click through first! Also, I live near your dad in Montclair!
