This actually helps people as if I should need to explain that. Trump has promised to undo all of this.

Trump doesn't know what he wants his contraceptive policy to be. Should states be able to restrict it? This morning he thought yes, just like states can now outlaw abortion. This afternoon he said he wasn't for banning it, and neither is the Republican party. Sure, and I'm not trusting them either.

Vote for Republicans and who knows what you'll get. and you'll get expanded health care, not restricted.

Thanks, Republicans on the Supreme Court, for entrusting abortion to the states. You opened Pandora's box and out came all the deplorables shouting at the top of their voices.

The final rule expands overtime pay eligibility to millions of U.S. workers. Thanks, Biden Administration.

Of course, there’s already a Republican trying to stop it.

DOL will raise overtime salary threshold to $44K in July, $59K next year:

I guess no lunch breaks to Republicans is a good thing because they already don’t want to feed kids, just force them to be born.

Louisiana Republicans vote to end lunch breaks for child workers:

The Biden Administration is trying to save women in red states as much as they can.

Republicans are preparing to wreak havoc, not only regarding personal decisions over one’s own body, but will absolutely without hesitation pull medical records. Republicans have no shame. They truly need to be obliterated into dust at the ballot box in 2024.

In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court gutted essential parts of the Voting Rights Act, allowing GOP legislatures to enact some of the most racially discriminatory district maps in state history.

Last year, a federal judge in Georgia ruled that GOP-drawn maps were discriminatory and unlawful because they diluted Black voting power and ignored the state’s growing Black population.

In North Carolina, voting rights advocates filed suit charging GOP legislators with racially gerrymandering the state House and Senate maps by deliberately diluting the voting power of majority-Black areas.

And in Louisiana, a federal court determined that GOP-created maps violated the Voting Rights Act by weakening the power of Black voters. The state was ordered to finalize a new map
early this year.

Recently in Alabama, the Republican legislature refused to comply with a federal judge’s order to create fair voting maps that better represented Black voters. It had to be enforced by court order.

In case you missed this, Democrat Marilyn Lands won big in Alabama in a special election last week.

Ms. Lands defeated her Republican opponent by about 25 percentage points — an extraordinary margin in a swing district where she lost by seven points in 2022.

People are getting fed up with Republicans trying to control their bodies, their healthcare, and dictating what they can and can’t read and who they can associate with.

This story demonstrates why the right wing’s mantra of ever “smaller government” is lethal. It’s the role of government to make sure products and services are safe.

When the Trump administration came into power, it shrunk the EPA.

Both parties are not the same, nor are they only marginally different or whatever nonsense some enjoy spouting out.

EPA bans asbestos, a deadly carcinogen still in use decades after a partial ban was enacted-

The voters of Wisconsin flipped their Supreme Court to better reflect their will last year. That Supreme Court struck down gerrymandered maps. Of course, Republicans wanted to keep their unfair advantage.

Governor Evers worked out new, fairer maps that are now going into effect. Voters’ voices will count more.

Elections matter and who you vote for does, too.

The MAGA GOP top priority in Congress over the past 5 months arguably has been to block aid for Ukraine's fight against Putin's invasion. They wouldn't agree to a budget that included such aid. They wouldn't agree to a continuing resolution that included it. They wouldn't agree to a border security bill that included it. This has been Putin's top priority, and thus Trump's, and they've been successful so far.

Navalny’s death has shown Speaker Mike Johnson up as a coward:

@TonyStark

Johnson has spoken repeatedly and sometimes vehemently about pending issues. He has called for tougher policies to halt the surge of migrants coming across the U.S.-Mexico border. He has said he favors additional aid for Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression and more assistance for Israel in its war with Hamas. But he has delivered on none of this, even when given the opportunity for action.

Republicans are full on admitting they only want to run on the border but never actually fix it. It’s amazing.

They create chaos around a problem, never propose a solution, never sign on to an actual solution, create fear towards immigrants, and make sure Putin gets an advantage. Add tax cuts for the rich and personal rights removal and that’s the whole party platform.

Senators release a border and Ukraine deal but the House speaker declares it 'dead on arrival':

Joe Biden's announcement he'll shut down the border if the MAGA House approve the deal will confirm they would rather install a dictator than stop the immigration crisis.

can then blame the GOP for the crisis to blunt republicans only strategy for November.

President Biden is calling their hand and their predictable slavish obedience to Trump will set the up to be rightfully blamed for the crisis that Republicans created. -t.h.
