Gotta say, Donald J. Trump had the WORST closing statement in tonights #DebateNight2024 that I've ever seen. Gloom and darkness. America is a shithole. You know, I just don't see that as a great strategy.
I do wish Kamala Harris had made the point during the debate that abortions very late in pregnancy are exceedingly rare, and never the mother's choice.
Even if Congress passes Kamala Harris's tax on unrealized gains for the ultrarich (a big if), would SCOTUS uphold it? And then there's the more important question: Do you have $100 million? Yeah, I didn't think so. My latest for Mother Jones. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
The stories coming out of red states have been horrific. As one doctor put it in the The Atlantic (in a heartrending new piece by Sarah Zhang) the bans are "morally disgusting." Very, very un-Christian, it turns out.
