By all means, watch this smug hateful ideologue carrying on about election fraud, abortion 3 days after birth, and much more. Good job, @TheWeekendMSNBC When people show you who they are, etc… www.msnbc.com/the-weekend/...

There are probably beekeepers in your area who would be glad to come get them rather than have them exterminated. If Google doesn’t help, ask your county extension agent, state department of natural resources, or just put it out on Facebook.

“We later found out that Hamas had offered on Oct 9 or 10 to release all the civilian hostages in exchange for the IDF not entering the Strip, but the govt rejected the offer...." "Bibi knows that the moment the hostages are released, Smotrich & Ben Gvir will leave the govt.” AS WE'VE BEEN SAYING.

New post: After spreading false bribery claims about the Bidens for months, Senator Chuck Grassley now casts himself as the hero who forced the FBI "to do their job." My look at his attempt to rewrite history: www.bleedingheartland.com/2024/03/02/c...

ICYMI, Senator Chuck Grassley's staff claimed credit for forcing the FBI to investigate bribery allegations against the Bidens.
But the DOJ's indictment of the informant makes clear those claims were investigated in the summer of 2020 and found lacking.

Newsweek quoted a tweet claiming it was $37k. I didn’t try to find FEC records.

Four of the right wing justices encouraged Abbott’s lawless behavior at the border, but they should probably consider what happens in the long run when the Court sends the message that the Constitution and the law are optional for the majority’s ideological allies www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

NEW! I’m typically a fan of simplicity: Vote against Trump because he wants to end American democracy. Period. But I admit, he and his allies are making the unspoken half of the appeal (…so they can steal all the money) pretty hard to leave implicit.

As more women challenge extreme abortion bans that nearly killed them, red state officials are developing a strategic response: demean, degrade, and insult any woman who dares to claim that her life should be valued over her pregnancy. slate.com/news-and-pol...

It’s a heavy lift, and without Dobbs I would be even less certain it’s doable. It’s a statewide race, so gerrymandering won’t help Hawley. Hawley’s image has taken some hits and Kunce is exploiting them. www.politico.com/news/2023/01...

I would put Missouri on the list. Lucas Kunce is an attractive candidate (veteran, square jaw, humble origin story) making his second run. Josh Hawley is a nerdy insurrectionist coward whose wife is trying to outlaw mifepristone.

I’m pretty sure the men who voted for the Dobbs majority will not experience any discomfort from affirming its worst consequences. But I wonder what Justice Barrett thinks about, having experienced labor and delivery herself. It can be terrifying. Was it ever that way for her?

The courts are turning into death panels that hold the power to decide when pregnant patients are close enough to death to justify an emergency abortion—the inevitable outcome of overruling Roe: slate.com/news-and-pol...

Don’t you wonder who lives in the teeny islands I circled, and why they were singled out?

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the state’s legislative maps, heavily gerrymandered in favor of Republicans, were unconstitutional. It ordered new maps before the 2024 election, which could cause a seismic political shift in a crucial swing state.

It turns out that the major pharmacies in the U.S. routinely provide patient medical records to law enforcement without a warrant. The potential ramifications of this for anyone on birth control, ordering abortion pills, or medication for mental illness and other personal conditions are staggering.
