In the past couple of weeks Biden's partial reversal on supporting GAC for youth combined with several very extreme SCOTUS decisions and Biden's current troubles have made it seem plausible that my healthcare isn't safe even in a blue state. This is not okay.

Hurricane Beryl made landfall near Cozumel, Mexico, early Friday as a Category 2 hurricane, blasting the coast and knocking out power in several resort towns. The storm is churning inland now and will briefly weaken before emerging over the Gulf of Mexico late Friday and gaining strength.

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

Why read past headlines: If you wonder why Trump and his cronies say terrible things out loud that should turn off swing voters, this article explains it.

But it's a high-risk/high-reward fascist strategy. With Project 2025, it may be backfiring.

Project 2025 was from the Chris Rufo school of fascist communications, where you discuss your evil schemes out loud, confident the "normies" are not paying enough attention to notice.

But now it seems less politically engaged people are taking notice.

It’s a very obscure question but I did some research and it turns out that the president who led us out of the Depression and kicked Hitler’s ass was actually in a wheelchair? Who knew?

The only sane explanation I can come up with is that the person running Hochul's social media accounts vehemently disagrees with her decision to kill congestion pricing and wants as much online abuse heaped at the governor as possible.

After killing congestion pricing and then wearing an MTA shirt at Pride, Governor Kathy Hochul continues to demonstrate her contempt for New Yorkers. Her profile pic on X is now her riding the subway.

What is the plan if, when Dump decides he doesn’t like the election results, he asks his buds on the SCOTUS to decide the election? I mean, we already know what will happen, having seen it before: the Dems will immediately capitulate, but what I’m asking is how is Blue MAGA going to handle it?

Resignation is the worst option, because it puts the Democratic Party in the position of fighting the post-election battle (if they win) without a sitting VP. Unless anyone believes the House Republicans are going to confirm a new VP, now or ever.

Three things here: • The rule is not going into effect until September. • This ruling would block it from being enforced against the plaintiffs but is not a “nationwide injunction” blocking the rule as to everyone. • The final ruling, expected in Aug, could be more broad.

We're going to do an episode on Project 2025 on what's at stake for transportation and climate if Trump wins and it's very, very bad. Will make the Elaine Chao USDOT era look positively progressive by comparison.
