Alito is a liar:

"The justice told Fox News that his wife hoisted the flag in response to Ms. Baden’s vulgar insult. A text message and the police call — corroborated by Fairfax County authorities — indicate, however, that the name-calling took place on Feb. 15, weeks after the inverted flag was taken down."

Pregnancy in Texas is fraught:

The stakes are high for doctors in TX when it comes to abortion.

With 3 overlapping laws, TX bans nearly all abortions & has some of the strictest penalties for doctors in the US, incl. thousands of$ in fines, the loss of a medical license & even life in prison.

That’s the backdrop for a process happening now to give doctors more clarity about when abortions can be performed and considered in compliance-.

MSF, IRC... say the strike took place in “a designated safe zone” -respected, INDEP orgs undercutting Israeli claims that this wasn’t the case & is pro-Hamas propaganda. The decision to take a strike must account for whether the MIL gain is proportional + what circumstances on the ground show about the likely toll on civilians. "The high concentration of civilians in these zones makes it impossible to avoid significant collateral damage-.

Dems have 'bragging rights' over Rs:

Rs would brag about how the economy became good -moment they took charge -reap the pol spoils. Some WH aides want a message -empathy toward the economic plight of certain Americans. Dems could characterize the situation accurately -most prosperous period in our lifetimes +promise to help everyone share in the bounty. Biden/Dems can take pride in their accomplishments -not to be taken in by prophets of false doom.

#TFG/Rs sink to new lows (Dante's inferno seems relevant).

How is this not bigger news?

TFG posted a video of one of his supporters attacking "blowjob liberals" & raging that if TFG is elected, he'll "get rid" of liberals, who'll be "gone." He’ll get rid of all you fucking liberals. You liberals are gone when he fucking wins."

The video he posted got notice for attacking JoeNBC.

By promoting this video, he endorsed that sentiment re libs generally.

A lot of angry white Texans think they have a message from God🚨:

At TX GOP’s 2024 convention, Hotze saw an army of God assembled before him. For 40 yrs, A Hotze *indicted election fraud conspiracy theorist, has helmed hardline anti-abortion mvts & homophobic campaigns agst LGTBQ rights. Once on the fringes, he said Sat -pleased by the party's growing embrace of his calls for spiritual warfare with “demonic, Satanic forces” on the left.

Republicans are secretly removing books *caught in PA:

It began in 2022 when the Pennridge SB made the unfounded & ridiculous claim that “pornography” was rampant in our school libraries. Unbeknownst to the public, the dist. had enlisted the services of the PA Family Coun, a RW Christian lobbying firm, to rewrite our dist.’s library policy. Even before the revamped policy passed, books targeted by Moms4Liberty started to mysteriously disappear from our HS lib-.

Republicans can no longer lie about the US economy bc it's going gangbusters & Americans are feeling it:

"The US is growing above trend .. wages are growing faster than the rest of the inflation basket, so real disposable income is rising .. alongside this is a MASSIVE wealth effect from the stock market & the housing market .. &, all of this comes on top of healthy HH balance sheets. .. US consumption is more durable than the bears believe."

Instead, Israel blocked the level of aid entering even further.” -B Tashman “Access to aid in Gaza was dire.
