We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this.

The fact that Trump is actually weakly attempting to pretend he doesn’t back Project 2025 = EXACTLY why you need to be telling everyone you know about their evil, violent plans.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

Defend America. Defend democracy. Re-elect Joe Biden. You might not have liked his debate performance, but I guarantee that you will enjoy a second Trump administration a whole lot less.

4/4 . . . same way that the Soviets used political troops to execute tens of thousands of soldiers who refused orders during World War II. According to Chief Justice Roberts and his cabal, there is not a thing that anyone could ever do to bring that President to justice. For shame.

If it makes you feel better, try to imagine a person who has been undecided on Trump vs. Biden up to now and is making their decision based on a TV show produced by the swine at CNN. You're thinking of a perfect sphere, aren't you. It installed smart lights in its home and couldn't connect the app

The great Vivian Gornick has weighed in on the Freaks Came Out To Write in the London Review of Books. A 2nd wave feminist writers who got her start at the Voice, she called it a "delicious oral history" that "sounds uncannily like the paper itself."
High praise indeed!

i am sure some with more legal expertise will weigh in that not every one of those 34 felonies are equally serious but i am just guessing that all 34 charges being classified as “felony” as opposed to “misdemeanor” or “parking violation “ must hold some weight

While both of these points are true, one of the drugs that is primarily used is damaging. I was recommended to take Lupron for endometriosis in 2002 and saw so many complaints about the side effects, including osteoporosis, that I opted for BC to control it. Nobody should take it.
