Dem should be able to win Congress on Project 2025 alone. Don't want to run anti-Trump ads after he got grazed by shrapnel? Fine. Beat this drum, along with Dobbs. Non-stop. Throw in examples of Vance being an awful person as well. Take the gloves off already.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

"The guy who got his ear nicked by shrapnel from the shooter who killed my husband hasn't reached out to us, but I'm still going to vote for him." I'm sorry, but these people fucked in the head.

President Biden tried to call the widow; she wouldn't talk to him. Trump didn't bother. www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/p...

"Someone took a shot at him, so throw away all the crimes he's charged with," is a hell of a take.

Impressive chutzpah from Sen. Mike Lee! "We’ve got to take the political temperature down ... We call on President Biden to immediately order that all federal criminal charges against President Trump be dropped, and to ask the governors of New York and Georgia to do the same."

A reminder of how Trump responded when a supporter broke into Nancy Pelosi's home and brutally attacked her husband with a hammer:

I guess for the GOP it's only okay to have someone in your family illegally buy you a semi-automatic long gun if you use it when you travel to another state to kill protesters.

I just don't get how a Republican could ever conceive the idea that shooting someone is okay.

We know nothing about the shooter yet, or exactly what happened, but my gone-to-the-Dark-Side cousin is already spouting off about "revenge" on FB. Terrific.

Look how fun shutting down fascists is. I want this for us, too

I'm embarrassed for you, NYT.

News Analysis: When Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies, the U.S. was confronted with a historical novelty: a felon who once held the highest office in the land. Will the label actually tarnish Trump, as it has so many people over the centuries?

A Mark of Shame for 900 Years. Until Now?www.nytimes.com “Felon” carries an ancient stigma — one that falls on millions of Americans today. Trump might well redefine it.

I guess Bidens age doesn't matter that much to me cause I don't think US Presidents do nearly as much as the myth likes to tell. Reagan spent the back end of his run with Alzheimers, last guy played golf & shitposted for 4 years, idc if Bidens an ent who speaks once a yr, taking it over Project 2025

I would feel that this confirmation of what a frothing loon Robinson is would encourage North Carolina folk to do the right thing but I've also done been exposed to a lot of the laws of North Carolina and ye gods. I am so happy my daughter is not going anywhere in NC for college. Yeeesh.

One striking detail in this story: The Pastor at Lake Church, where Mark Robinson gave this speech, told me he and Robinson expected these remarks to be "scrutinized." Then the Pastor defended them! (also worth noting Christian Nationalist overtones in rest of speech cc @sarahposner.bsky.social)

It can't be understated how huge a misstep the GOP made by proudly putting this out there. If you know someone undecided, send them this (after shaking your head and muttering WTF over and over). If you have anyone blathering about MUH CONSTITOOSHUN send them this. VOTE. defeatproject2025.org

I kinda feel like now that the Supreme Court has declared it legal for a president to straight-up murder people they don't like, it's probably even more important to not elect people who seem extremely inclined to murder people they don't like

Hmm. Given how "whatever" MAGA folks seem to be about sexual assault, maybe they'll vote for Wormboy instead.

In a new Vanity Fair piece, a former babysitter for RFK Jr. describes a grotesque assault. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/r...

Ugghhhhhhh I get why the prosecutors agreed to this in order to leave as little gristle as possible on the appeal bone but this is ridiculous bullshit. VOTE. IN. NOVEMBER. If he wins, this country is finished. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/02/n...

Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump’s Sentencingwww.nytimes.com Donald J. Trump’s lawyers want to argue that a Supreme Court decision giving presidents immunity for official acts should void his felony conviction for covering up hush money paid to a porn star.

At the end of my clinic escorting shift yesterday a father and his young son stopped to thank us. They also gave us muffins, which made the protester who'd been annoying us all morning almost apoplectic with impotent fury. Dee-lish-top. My wife said the muffins were tasty too.

I don’t recall the NYT calling for Trump to step down after being convicted of 34 counts of fraud and being called by a judge at his civil trial a rapist in the common person sense

Republicans firmly believe that everyone but the guy they nominate for president should be practicing whatever they happen to think their religion is this week.

This should be required watching for any non-MAGA person who is "on the fence" about whom to vote for in November. The GOP 2025 plan is terrifying and plays into TFG's ego while getting their agenda of taking us back to the 17th Century accomplished. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX8x...
