In 2016 Trump pledged to ban abortion & punish anyone who gets one. His judicial picks overturned Roe. He's surrounded himself with sworn enemies of reproductive rights. No matter how much backtracking he tries to do, know that he will ban abortion if given a chance.

Even if SCOTUS rules against the nationwide ban on mifepristone ordered by a rogue judge in TX, that isn't the end of it. A Trump victory could see an extremist FDA administrator who could order its use severely curtailed. We need to vote to protect abortion access!

Biden wants a 25% tax on billionaires. Trump wants to double down on his tax cuts, which have already fueled billionaire wealth. This isnā€™t complicated. Billionaires are funneling cash to Trumpā€™s campaign for a tax break. Anyone else supporting him is being duped.

This is a sweeping condemnation of the Trump post-election legal strategy. There were a lot of GOP lawyers who also adopted legal theories like the ones made by Texas in SCOTUS. That includes some GOP members of congress and the 18 Republican AG's. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Billionaires have seen their fortunes surge by $2 trillion+ since the Trump tax cuts. What's the GOP doing about it? Doubling down. They're trying to permanently extend provisions of the law that disproportionately benefit the rich. Itā€™s crystal clear who they work for.

Funny how wealthy Americans will readily accuse Biden of ā€œbuying votesā€ with student debt forgiveness but had no issue with Trump signing massive tax cuts for themselves.

After AL Supreme Court designated frozen embryos as ā€œpeople,ā€ GOP leaders from Trump to Johnson ran for political cover, claiming they support IVF. Donā€™t be fooled. They introduced the ā€œLife at Conception Actā€ and appointed justices who made that AL ruling possible.

Amazon, Trader Joeā€™s, and SpaceX are all fighting in court to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional. All three companies have a disgraceful history of worker abuse and union busting. They canā€™t stop workers from organizing, so now they want to destroy the whole system.

Thank you TODAY for covering the current COVID surge. I really appreciate so many sharing the COVID wastewater charts! It shows that, contrary to the cynical narrative of "pandemic fatigue," many still care & want to know the data so they can protect their communities.

I hope you read my latest.

Donald Trump is plotting to overthrow American democracy. It is not a secret, and he is not subtle. The only question is whether enough people will care enough to stop it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/dona...

Republicans are lying when they say slashing IRS funds will lower the deficit. For each extra $1 the IRS spends auditing rich tax cheats, it can collect $12. Defunding the IRS will INCREASE the deficit.Ā  They want to help their rich donors cheat, while the rest of us pay for it.

If lying were the standard by which one could then dismiss someone's comments (and they should certainly be weighed), Donnie has also lied--indeed, documented so over 30,000 times by the time the Washington Post stopped counting. Why would we not dismiss his comments, over 30,000 times?

If there's one thing I'm extremely worried about for the 2024 elections, it's election vigilantism. On the latest Defending Democracy episode, I explain what it is, why it's a growing threat and how we stop it.
