By tying ACA negotiations to expanding the Hyde Amendment, Republicans are attempting an end-run around state protections to impose a de facto national abortion ban.
Republicans' 'National Backdoor Abortion Ban'
Congress may extend ACA tax credits expiring Dec. 31. Republicans use the debate to pursue a national abortion ban via the Hyde Amendment.

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

Contrary to what some liberal critics say, John Roberts has kept his pledge to only call balls and strikes. He never promised that the strike zone would be the same for Democrats and Republicans.

The right-wing Supreme Court majority has once again shredded its credibility by rubber-stamping a racially gerrymandered map in Texas.

Republicans know the extremists can only win by cheating.

The people of California and beyond will prevent that from happening.

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

Reagan economic policies are WHY young people can't afford college, a home, kids, etc. Why their parents didn't get a raise for forty years. Why We Have Trillionaires.

Without Reagan, no Trump.

"Reagan Republicans" are vile.

Real men don’t punch down, and they especially don’t punch down at women.

This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters — the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!

Just finished Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. The story and gameplay were... disappointing. "Clink" was another Terrako, and any chances to learn more about the Zonai and ancient Hyrule came to naught. The characters were meh, the battle settings were generic.

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

how *I* would spend our political capital in the next Democratic term:
1) add PR and DC as states
2) pack the court
2a) pursuant to this, find in particular a plaintiff to bring a case to reverse the gutting of Obamacare in 2010 & reimpose individual mandate

The fucking irony of this Jew to cape Third Reich white supremacist talking points BECAUSE his grandparents could assimilate into US culture when whiteness expanded just enough for them.

(One day he might find that this same conditional whiteness he was granted is more conditional+ less secure.)
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

People dismiss this because they don’t like Biden.

Let’s be clear @nymag.com is actively claiming the person sleeping with a candidate running, like helping him make deals with the opposition & wrote this had no bias:

After I called out the big banks for adding ANOTHER $20 billion to Trump’s Argentina bailout, their plan is on ice.

But they are still exploring a $5 billion loan – potentially guaranteed by U.S. taxpayers.

No bailout for Argentina’s rich hedge fund investors.

It's highly unusual for a member of Congress to request a police investigation into a sitting president of the United States.
