Republicans won’t stop a corrupt tyrant from unnecessarily shaking down American taxpayers, but they *will* stop women from getting necessary healthcare. What amoral jackholes.

🗣️ Say it louder for the people in the back: We need to give up on nostalgia for the past. Donald Trump has decimated the government in some profound, irreversible ways. The only way forward? Building something newer and better, Marc Elias says. Watch below👇 https://demdock.com/4w4O9mk
I just watched an avalanche of Republicans talking about why Graham Platner wasn't qualified to run for office in Maine, not sure why Max Miller is getting a pass?
Almost two dozen Democratic-led states asked the Supreme Court to keep Trump's anti-mail voting order blocked, saying it poses "extraordinary threats to our democracy." They warned millions of voters, especially those with disabilities and in rural areas, could be denied mail ballots this fall.
Blue states urge Supreme Court to uphold block on Trump’s anti-mail voting order
The states and D.C. said Trump's order poses “extraordinary threats to our democracy.”

I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.

If there’s ever been a defense secretary’s spouse with a portfolio like this one, I’m not aware of it.

How about talking about is the origin of the contamination: human feces in the irrigation water that is used by the U.S.farms being operated in Mexico - it is cheaper to provide 1 outhouse for all of the workers so whoever can’t find the time or location just “go” outside.

Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · yesterdayTwo dead from the US cyclospora outbreak, just in case you had any doubt how dangerous it is. There are now 18,000 confirmed or suspected cases across 45 states. By any standard this would be a scandal but it’s just another metaphor for life under Trump - killer food contaminated with human waste.
Susan Collins has confirmed at least 16 anti-abortion judges in Trump’s second term. Some Mainers may think their reproductive and civil rights are safe and still vote for her, but any of these freaks could tee up a SCOTUS case that takes the entire country backwards mainedems.org/susan-collin...

Collins Confirms Two More Anti-Choice Judges
Susan Collins just voted to confirm Tony Mattivi and Anthony Powell to lifetime seats on the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas.
[then a list showing 14 more, split across two screenshots]
Collins has continued to “rubber stamp” Trump-appointed anti-choice judges who have advocated for and defended near-total abortion bans in states. In the past few months alone Collins confirmed:
Whitney Hermandorfer to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, who was lead counsel in a case defending Tennessee’s total abortion ban.
Maria Lanahan to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, who defended Missouri’s near-total abortion ban, and helped author and argue Missouri’s complaint seeking to restrict the use and access to mifepristone, a common medication abortion pill.
Jennifer Mascott to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, who urged the court to overturn Roe and return it to the “dustbin of history,” then praised the Dobbs ruling, testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee defending the Court’s decision to leave in place Texas’ extreme abortion ban.
William Mercer to the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, who “has repeatedly supported anti-abortion bills.”
Chad Meredith to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, who is staunchly anti-abortion and has even defended abortion restrictions in Kentucky.
Jordan Pratt to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, who authored an amicus brief in support of Florida’s abortion ban where he called abortion “barbaric.”
Rebecca Taibleson to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, who testified that she believed the three-year-old Dobbs decision that gutted federal protections to abortion was “controlling precedent and settled law.” In addition to clerking for Brett Kavanaugh, Tabileson testified in front of the Senate to de…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fdfjfnhhyeo4hsmoxpeazsg/bafkreif4k66fmxo5z4qmtaydwrxgmeqmwghjjn72yzo3dsqzruyrk72dom)
It’s s been 30 years of TX Governors & TX Senators saying they are fixing messes that Dems made, or they will fix things. Think about the Governors who made the unusual power grid worse . Think about the 2 senators who didn’t propose a bill to reform Immigration laws. They’ve all been feckless.
And stealing is what they are doing along with “leaders” in the US! #PutinsPuppets can be stopped if all of us #VoteBlue!
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 3d agoNAVALNY: “I am against this war in 🇺🇦 — I consider it immoral, fratricidal, criminal. It has been started by the Kremlin gang to make it easier for them to steal. They are killing so they can thieve.” Sound familiar, Americans?
FFS! WTF is wrong with this party? #votethemout #Pinks
This makes me physically ill. What is wrong with these women? Yes, they are all white. Dang, the cult brainwashing is strong in these evangelical families. I mean seriously, this is beyond Waco Koresh Jim Jones Manson shit! Something has to give. This is so wrong. #Pinks
Between this SAVE ACT and Turning Point, it seems like there is a wide open war on women's rights. These white elite males are terrified of women lol. And they should be cause if we ever rise up, they are toast. #Pinks
@debbie156@debbie156.bsky.social · 4d agoDo not rest on this issue. These bills ban millions of women from voting unless they produce a passport or birth certificate — documents women lose when they marry and change their name. Over 21 million Americans lack ready access. The fix: reject the SAVE Act and protect equal ballot access. #Pinks
This is an outstanding article. Thank god for women who say, “where’s the opportunity?” Instead of rearranging the deck chairs on proverbial Titanic. “Foster is a leader in the movement that has revolutionized telemedicine abortion care” Our bodies Our minds Our power #Pinks
She's remaking the abortion landscape one pill at a time
Far from buckling under Dobbs, the access movement has created “a whole new way of doing healthcare.”

Trump had Rand Paul release Fauci’s diary for the same reason he got Morocco to let a wave of migrants flow into Spain’s territory in North Africa — he’s terrified of losing the midterms and needs to fire up his base with best hits such as covid and ‘Muslim migrant invasion.’ Expect more bullshit.

Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.
Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.
At some point you just have to conclude that the Trump supporters who are still left just knowingly love the lies, corruption and incompetence and have accepted it as their brand because nobody can be that naive and stupid.
