Among the causes of infant deaths, one increased the most: congenital abnormalities, which increased 22.9% in Texas in children between 2021 and 2022, while they decreased 2.9% in the rest of the country. That trend suggests that at least in some cases, parents were forced to carry a pregnancy to term while knowing their...
He told them if they get him re-elected, he’ll cut their taxes. Dems (if they can get control) are planning on taxing the rich and corporations after Trump’s tax bill ends next year.
The rich only care about being rich. If they cared about anyone else, we probably wouldn’t have as many homeless and starving people.

Sounds par for the course for Republicans. Vote against something and then after it’s blocked, say you’re for it. Or vote against something and after it passes, say you’re for it.
Lawyers representing state legislative leaders were in court Thursday in Raleigh, arguing to throw out an anti-gerrymandering lawsuit that targets the state’s new political districts....
Big fucking duh. Trump has already told all the millionaires and billionaires that if they get him re-elected, he’ll cut taxes for them. You cant cut their taxes without raising them somewhere else.

Trump Demands Biden Remove Ad of Him Calling Dead Soldiers ‘Suckers’ and ‘Losers’ - The former president said only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements.
They don’t hate democracy. They just have their own vision of it, and it’s Christian authoritarianism. It’s why they keep taking away rights that are generally accepted, because those rights don’t fit into their vision. And why the bible is anbasis for all the laws they want.
He and Thomas will only resign if Trump wins in November, so they can install two more young super conservative judges to fuck us over for decades to come.
Nah, that’s what his supporters are for. He’ll just sell more limited edition NFTs for $100 a pop and milk them. They’re basically a dumb golden goose.
President Joe Biden is taking fresh steps to help keep gas prices from climbing. For Republicans to see this as “disgusting” and “disgraceful” is bizarre.
The same reason Republicans voted against their own immigration bill: Trump told them not to because he doesn’t want to give that win to Biden. No wins for Biden, especially in an election year. Republicans continue holding us hostage so they can to put their fuhr back in office.

Nah, I don’t think so. Remember back when Obama won his second term, Trump said the Electoral College was a sham and needed to go. Then he beat Hillary and said the EC was great. Then he lost to Biden and said the EC was terrible. If he wins, everything works great and there was no rigging. If he loses, every is terrible and rigged. If he wins, he may say the Dems tried tto rig it or something but FAILED MISERABLY or some garbage.
I think that’s what OP is saying, that conservatives are (and have been) trying to associate the word “groomer” as being a purely LGBTQ+ thing, and that no straight man or woman is capable of child rape. We all know that’s false, as just about everything we see in regards to child rape has been done by white males (priests and alter boys, for example) and white females (teachers having sex with students, for example).

If there’s any proof that the GOP want to return America to a time before anyone other than white men had rights, it’s them wanting to reinstate a law from 1864.
Yup, which is why the Republicans try to make it as difficult as possible to vote, especially for minorities. Don’t forget Trump said if minorities vote, Republicans will never win another election.

Can she really do that, force the jury without security clearance to view top secret documents? Seems bullshit to me.
But what are the options? Obviously she says to let Trump go if the jury can’t see the docs. If he gets the jury see the docs, do they have to get security clearance? They have to sign an NDA of some sort?
