Sure, the Republican Party could demand a law that obligates men to get vasectomies, but that would be crazy, right? Controlling men's bodies? Forcing them to do something against their will? Politicians being invasive and gross about it?

Gosh, that would be so crazy.

The “execution after birth” abortion myth is actually #Republican gun policy.

The NewsHour needs to add context. He has repeatedly lied about his position on this issue. His press secretary said he supports the AZ decision. Never take his statements at face value. It enables his lies.

For those keeping score at home:
1- RFK Jr was recruited to run by Trump allies like Bannon
2- RFK Jr is being propped up by Trump's largest donor
3- RFK Jr provides cover to Trump on issues like Jan 6
4- RFK Jr's staffers say their #1 goal is stopping Biden
5- RFK Jr =spoiler

It’s not a hush money case—it’s an election interference case.

Be journalists, not stenographers. CHECK past comments/ voting records of politicians who are issuing statement on abortion, IVF or any reproductive health issue before you share it on social media, etc. There's a massive muddying the waters effort underway.

NYT: Trump has lied to us tens of thousands of times, but we’re going to pretend he might be telling the truth this time.

Big picture: The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff thought Trump was so insane post January 6th that he called senior officers into a room and told them to affirm that he personally must sign off if Trump wanted to launch nukes.

Trump has called for him to be executed.

Laura Rozen Everyone recognizes WSJ editorial / op-ed pages as agitprop inserts, which happen to come packaged inside an otherwise first-rate news operation.

A similar recognition would be useful for politics coverage vs rest of NYT.

the sneering tone throughout the graf that the Bidens are just so wayward and can’t keep them from a state dinner is just wtf

Moments ago, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi on current Speaker Mike Johnson's being scared to do the right thing because the Freedom Caucus threatens to vacate the chair:

'Why are we there? We're there to *do* a job, not *keep* a job.'

Here's William Jones who authored the 1864 Arizona abortion bill.

Some fun facts:
He abandoned his first wife and their children in Missouri.

His second wife was a 12 year old Mexican girl. He abducted her and after a complaint submitted his resignation to President Buchanan…
