Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."
With much regret, I have canceled my
@washingtonpost subscription. I will look for ways to support the extraordinary reporters there, and may very well re-subscribe in the future. But for the moment, the message must be sent. Democracy dies in darkness.
@drpatrick@latimes Trump has no policies aside from "I get to do whatever I want, to anyone I want," and what's detailed in Proj. 2025, which he disavows (at least publicly). The Ed Board understood the assignment and endorsed Harris. You then overrode them anyway. Don't pretend it's anything else.
Walz: Look, I won't waste all of the time. I will talk about his running mate. His running mate, Elon Musk. Elon is on that stage jumping around skipping like a dipshit.
@Timodc I think you're both off. Dem voters are anxious because gerrymandering and the elec college make it harder for our votes to matter. Remember: GOP pres. candidates have won the pop vote only 1x since 1988. Yet we've had 12 years of GOP POTUSes (both GWB and T ended in recession)
@EthanGEnsley1@GeraldoRivera So, the ID requirement sounds simple and fair in theory, but it's complicated. Requiring IDs disenfranchises tens of thousands of Americans due to lack of resources. If you're interested in why (and how we know) here's a thread: https://t.co/Rat4NitpPx
@Licotron1@TheAmerican_Mom@CalltoActivism Sounds simple in theory but these initiatives DO disenfranchise voters. In 2014, Alabama passed a law requiring valid photo ID to vote. Then, they shut down (or reduced service) at 34 state driver's license offices, disproportionately affecting black and rural voters.
@ArtCandee This was one of the first questions posed to him at the NABJ conference and - I shit you not - the only coherent thing he was able to get out was "Drill Baby Drill" (?). The US already has the 5th cheapest gas in the world. Yet somehow THAT's the answer to America's issues?
@BfgGordie@Michcherfin@DschlopesIsBack Yes, depending on what you mean by "bad." In MD, an abortion this late is only legal IF the pregnant person is at health/life risk OR the fetus has a genetic defect/serious deformity. If the clinic is still conducting them regardless, then that would be illegal and yes, "bad."
@anne_awp@Michcherfin@DschlopesIsBack "completely legal" isn't accurate. late-term is reserved for extreme circumstances. For example, in MD, where this clinic is purportedly located, it's only allowed "to protect the life or health of the pregnant person or if the fetus has a genetic defect or serious deformity."
