BREAKING: President Biden drops a bomb on MAGA world by announcing that he will veto a formerly bipartisan bill that would add 63 permanent judgeships because Donald Trump would now be the one to fill 22 of the seats.
You have to fight fire with fire...
Biden promised to veto the bill which has already passed in the Senate and is set to be voted on by the Republican-controlled House this week.
The bill was designed to add judgeships to help with the backlog at federal courthouses across the country. However, if the choice is between having too few judges or having 22 new MAGA ones, it's better to not have the judges at all.
"Under this legislation, we all promised to give the next three unknown presidents a certain number of judges," said Congressman Jerry Nadler. "Because no one can tell the future we were all at an equal disadvantage, but for this deal to work, the bill had to be passed before Election Day."
It's encouraging to see Democrats strategically wielding power like this. Joe Biden has a responsibility to protect the American people from Donald Trump as best he can.

I’m glad this good woman spoke up. I’m deeply sorry and disappointed that she had to go through all that. We must protect reproductive rights/ health. The only candidate I will work for will make reproductive health their priority.
MUST WATCH: A Texas woman calls out her state senators, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, for nearly killing her. Make no mistake, Republican policies are designed to put women, children, and pregnant people in danger—this is a feature, not a bug. In other words, it is their 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.
Recently in Oklahoma, a woman’s molar pregnancy became cancerous. Molar pregnancies usually do not produce a fetus and, in the cases in which they do, the fetus is not viable. No matter what the doctors had done in this case, there would have been no baby. And yet, when Jaci Statton went to the emergency room—in pain and bleeding heavily—hospital staff told her to wait in the parking lot until she became so ill doctors would have no choice but to treat her.
“Unless you are crashing in front of us or your blood pressure goes so high that you are fixing to have a heart attack,” she was told, we cannot help you.
Republicans do not care that someone who has an unviable pregnancy will DIE if they don’t have access to an abortion. Republicans don’t care if denying health care results in infertility.
The platform of the Republican Party is cruelty; it is misogyny; it is control.
And we need to fight against them with all of our strength.

@insearchofpar@krystalball Donald Trump hosted many wars in his presidency. His withdrawal of troops made some of these existing wars worse. Stop lying to us.
