I hope this becomes more clearly stated in the campaign because just saying cuts to SS, Medicare etc do not make it clear like this chapter does.

It's not that I don't expect the NYT to launder far right talking points, that's always been their thing and they doubled down on it under Trump. What frightens me is the *sloppiness* lately. They can barely be bothered to hide what they're doing anymore. They've decided it's publicly acceptable.

Something people are sleeping on: One of the 4 state justices who voted to make abortion illegal in Iowa in late June, David May, is up for retention this fall.

I have access to more resources now than "Medicaid Matt" did in '17. As do many of the friends I worked alongside, defending the ACA & Medicaid, during the summer of repeal. But I am confident that we could not succeed again, we could not survive a 2nd Trump term. The fight is the next 118 days.

Just a thought, but since it's the GOP's top priority, could some reporter step away from the Biden frenzy for a sec to get Trump to answer the Question About Mass Deportation

Mind boggling isn’t it? Even someone my age can feel that it was so long ago but it wasn’t. We still can’t get the ERA ratified. As a therapist who worked with women going through divorces it was an unjust system and still is to some degree. Project 2025 scares the crap out of me.

I sat in on a group book discussion on Dancing With Pomegranates with younger women. They had no clue. They were shocked that I couldn’t get a credit card or bank account on my own. The state university I went to had to be sued to let women enter. So much more. They hadn’t lived it.

tldr - Alito is absorbed in some serious white Christian nationalist extremism.
