So he really is pro abortion despite his claims re Roe v Wade?! It's disgusting to read but shows the man's true view of girls and women.

On this July 4, please pause to remember that one of the colonists’ complaints in the Declaration was that the Crown was paying its judges.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

Welp.
I think we’ll hear about presidential immunity from SCOTUS today.

The fact that this is an open question is stunningly wrong-headed.

You certainly can’t claim the founders wanted it.
Or rather, you can.
But you’d be wrong.
Here’s a brief explaining why.

Also the money donated to Biden can't just be grabbed up by someone else, I heard. It's not a party fund, it's in the candidate's name? Obvi that doesn't apply to GOP since their guy pays his porn star case legal fees with campaign funds.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

One of the things these programs reveal is that you don’t need to totally subsidize someone to get them off the streets. Average rent in this city is pushing $2,000, but average pay never grew that fast so there’s a huge gap between income and costs. It doesn’t take much to make a big difference.

Serious Q: Why does an appointed SCOTUS member need donors?? Appointed for life so there's no campaign to run. In television dramas like Your Honor, that would be a bribe. Can someone enlighten me?

Farmers in Bastrup, TX were hopeful when Elon Musk bought land nearby, but now he’s turning the area into “an environmentally hazardous industrial park.” Authorities won’t do anything because they’re understaffed and “intimidated by their powerful new neighbor.”

Jefferson would have bought a Cybertruck to own it, but would never drive it. Washington might have one, but he’d have a driver. Hamilton would want a European car. Adams would have a used car. A status car, but used. Franklin would mock it, tinker with it, improve it. Then mock it again.

I urge you to read Dr. Fauci's transcribed interview where he goes into more detail about the threats to him and his family, including how the extreme rhetoric from politicians and other academics fuel this. This needs much more focus. Below, page one more clearly displayed. The rest follows 👇.

Finally read this. The context for the slur makes it entirely believable. But the rest is just as awful. NBC knowingly resurrected a washed up, racist, misogynist, parasitic con man, and presented him to the country as a brilliant, cutting-edge businessman. It felt dirty just reading it.

Trump couldn't find the word "restaurant" today. He was talking about McDonald's and flailingly called it a "store... where people are eating." It's been ages since I watched him talk for 30 mins; the language deficits/repetitions are a shock. Transcript here. braddelong.substack.com/p/reading-do...
