AOC: This is so clearly a patriarchal theocracy that has embodied itself in the DNA of an entire political party

AOC: Not only do they want to go after reproductive freedom, they are going after ivf and contraception. They also want to control what they call recreational sex. This is so clearly a patriarchal theocracy that has embodied itself in the DNA of an entire political party

"Let's be clear: Alabama families losing access to IVF is a direct result of Trump's SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade

Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez:

Trump is responsible for 20 plus abortion bans, restrictions on women's ability to decide if and when to grow a family, and attacks on contraception."

"Trump cannot run from his record and neither can the millions of women who his actions have hurt. Trump and his extreme MAGA allies are planning to ban abortion nationally, limit contraception, and destroy women's health care coast to coast. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will protect women's health and freedom to make their own decisions about growing their families."

'There's No Question This Is Dead': Biden Impeachment Inquiry Falls Apart

“House Republicans reached a critical point this week in their bid to impeach Joe Biden: a closed-door interview with the President’s younger brother James. But the coveted testimony was dramatically overshadowed by another development: The Justice Department indicting one of the impeachment inquiry’s lead informants for lying to the FBI about the Biden family with dirt from Russian intelligence,” Time reports.

Said Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE): “My sense is it’s not going to happen. We should determine the next president through the election.”

Added Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY): “There’s no question this is dead. To the extent that they continue to push forward with it, they are now doing it with a knowing asset of Russian intelligence. It is one thing to lead an investigation where you fail to find evidence to support unfounded conclusions. It is altogether something else when you are acting as an agent of Vladimir Putin.

POTUS: Today, I met with Yulia and Dasha Navalnaya - Aleksey Navalny's loved ones - to express my condolences

President Biden

Today, I met with Yulia and Dasha Navalnaya – Aleksey Navalny's loved ones – to express my condolences for their devastating loss.

Aleksey's legacy of courage will live on in Yulia and Dasha, and the countless people across Russia fighting for democracy and human rights.

Biden-Harris campaign statement on the Alabama Supreme Court ruling made possible by Donald Trump

“What is happening in Alabama right now is only possible because Donald Trump’s Supreme Court justices overturned Roe v. Wade,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement. “Across the nation, MAGA Republicans are inserting themselves into the most personal decisions a family can make, from contraception to IVF.”

“With their latest attack on reproductive freedom, these so-called pro-life Republicans are preventing loving couples from growing their families,” she added. “If Donald Trump is elected, there is no question that he will impose his extreme anti-freedom agenda on the entire country.”

Tuberville: "When I fell, I was just joking. I said hey, watch me do a Biden impression"

The first half of this clip is Tuberville saying today that Biden is too old to run because of how he walks on airport tarmacs, the second half is Tuberville falling down stairs at an airport tarmac.

Selling out to an autocratic foreign power in order to keep power at home

What it means to be an American has always had many definitions and not all of them good. But selling out to an autocratic foreign power in order to keep power at home is a new one. We haven’t actually done that one before. But it’s the natural consequence of the radicalization of the GOP over many years which has culminated in the elevation of a psychopathic conman to lead the party. And here we are.
