Since the media seems more focused on other topics, I'm launching a new recurring feature: Biden v. Trump on the actual issues -- what they did as president and what they would try to do in a second term.

First up: taxes. 1/

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

1. @washingtonpost, @axios, @cnn, and @nytimes are all "reporting" that, to convict Trump, Jack Smith has to prove Trump knew he was lying about the 2020 election

Trump's lawyer is saying the same thing. And so is Fox.

The problem with this analysis is it's completely wrong

I forgot. Who was in charge of “the Government” on January 6?

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

Have I got a story for you. It starts with a simple tip that someone has done a FOIA request for all 7 million voter signature cards in Georgia. I was able to get a screenshot of the request. It's much more insane than I could have possibly thought and people need to know.

[Center for Reproductive Rights @ReproRights]

Outrageous: To add insult to injury, Texas is claiming that Amanda Zurawski doesn't have grounds to sue because her fertility has been compromised as a result of being denied an abortion and now she doesn't have to worry about the bans because she might not get pregnant again.

[Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti]

With all the articles coming out about the Nebraska teen sentenced to 90 days in jail for self-managing an abortion, I just wanted to flag something I wrote last week about coverage of the case.

[Tiina Elovaara @TiinaElovaara]

Tänään @hsfi on julkaissut laajan jutun PS:stä lähteneistä.
Lisäkseni mukana on @Simon_Elo ja Timo Soini.

Me olemme olleet käytännössä ainoat hlöt,jotka ovat esiintyneet asiassa julkisuudessa.
On monia, jotka eivät puhu.

Muutama huomio asiasta.

Vuonna 2016 Petteri Orpo osallistui rasismin vastaiseen mielenosoitukseen.

Vuonna 2023 rasismin vastainen mielenosoitus piti järjestää Petteri Orpon takia.

In other words:

A United States District Judge has now formally held, in a lengthy written opinion, that it is perfectly appropriate, and, indeed, entirely accurate, to call a certain former President of the United States a rapist.

I, for one, pledge to exercise vigorously—in fact, strongly–this treasured First Amendment right that the court has so appropriately vindicated today.

Vanhojen kaivelu kyllästyttää minuakin mutta en ymmärrä kuinka ihmisillä voi olla niin paljon luurankoja kaapeissaan? Kuinka juuri politiikkaan ajautuu henkilöitä, joiden menneisyys ei kestä päivänvaloa? Ei se ole normaalia saati tavallista.

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

I know many Jews find it upsetting to hear Israel called racist. But in the West Bank, Jews enjoy citizenship, due process, free movement + the right to vote for the govt that controls their lives. Their Palestinian neighbors enjoy none of these rights. What would you call that?

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Saw this in another Tweet. Harsh, but fair.

[Aleksi Lumme @ThePleksi]

1/ Kipuilin nuorempana siitä, että en ensinkään ymmärtänyt mitä nainen haluaa. Miten tällainen tavallinen jamppa voisi löytää parisuhteen?

Ikä ja lukuiset keskustelut naisten kanssa antoivat vastauksen.

Pitkä 🧵siitä mitä olen miehenä oppinut aiheesta; kuinka löytää parisuhde

Who said all political ads are boring? This is probably the hottest political ad you’ll ever see.

OHIO vote NO on August 8th 🔥

[Mendi Tackett @mentack]

This video has a lot of value. I’ve had several millennials/Gen Zs tell me they don’t love party labels. But this very much describes why they align w/ the D Party and platform. They don’t care abt party labels, but they do care abt what makes the parties so vastly different.

[Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @HC_Richardson]

Interesting.

This is the greatest TikTok I’ve seen this year … I would watch this as a series on Netflix
