ICYMI: Asked in 2021 about if he supports abortion exceptions for women and girls who have been victims of rape or incest, JD Vance said we just need to reframe the way we think about forcing women to stay pregnant. www.huffpost.com/entry/jd-van...

JD Vance Said We Just Need To Reframe The Idea Of Forcing Women To Stay Pregnantwww.huffpost.com “It’s not whether a woman should be forced to bring a child to term, it’s whether a child should be allowed to live,” Trump’s vice presidential pick said in 2021.

The tl;dr This is union-busting, written as a statute. A company union is not a union, it is a way for management to dilute/interfere with the power of the union. Company unions have been unlawful since 1935, because everyone recognizes it is an attempt to union bust. This is trying to undo that.

Not a populist: GOP VP candidate J.D. Vance introduced the Team Act (with Marco Rubio) to empower companies to establish and dissolve “employee involvement organizations” (a.k.a., company unions), a long-standing goal of GOP business leaders: www.rubio.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

A coda: People need a pick a lane between "polling sucks" and "I'm gonna tank my mood and willingness to fight with polling". I recommended simply the truth: polling is imperfect and highly subject to quality, and the quality shows a tight race. Let's get after it.

A poll that predicts one party will win with a two point margin of error when the other party wins by a point is actually a decent one. It wasn't wrong. It was almost as close as you can count on a political poll getting.

October 2016 was a rough time for me. I was getting exorciated as a sexist and losing friends because I was telling my bosses and anybody who would listen that if we didn't pivot ad dollars and efforts to the firewall, Hillary was going to lose the election.

I'm on break, and this has been stewing a minute I want to bring up an uncomfortable memory for people panicking about polls. Hillary Clinton, data quality, the inherent trouble with political polling.

I'm shocked, shocked

On the plus side, if Vance ever refuses to do something Trump wants there's a readymade pun about a Hillbilly Effigy

Fuck all the way off. Good buddy of mine is Secret Service. She was on W and Obama's personal detail. Half retired, but now just does supplemental support when Biden does west coast events. Absolute bad ass.

I regret to inform you that the magats have decided allowing girls in the Secret Service is the problem.

If you come across it, and this sounds like a joke but isn’t, try to play Tetris within 30 minutes. Something about it works like EMDR and helps the brain process the traumatic input. There are versions for mobile, switch, computer- just about every platform.

Some pretty graphic images of the corpse of the shooter going around social media. Heads up. I've seen a lot of images of death and brutality over the years from following news on war zones but this still made me wince. It's not a pretty sight. Try to avoid it.

MSNBC just interviewed a Trump supporter who was at the rally and she said “There is too much hate” and we need to pray for the country. She is wearing a “Know Your Parasites” t-shirt. These people have no self awareness.

The Israelis are pretty open about their strategy of declaring "safe zones" for Palestinians, forcefully concentrating them into those safe zones, and then mass murdering them with airstrikes and bombardment. This is genocidal. It is supported by the United States.
