Leonard Leo and the judges he installed under Trump are working to constitutionalize fetal personhood. That would mean a national abortion ban, full stop. Here’s how they’re doing it 🧵 👇

Choosing Pragmatism Over Textualism nybooks.com/articles/2024/… via @nybooks A method of judicial interpretation that looks only to the original meaning of legal texts risks producing a Constitution and laws that no one would want. May 23, 2024 issue
If reporters want to adjust the bar for Trump this way, fine. But then a) Pelosi’s right—his pandemic response lagged in nearly all ways, and b) they need to use the same standard vis-a-vis inflation, another global phenomenon, which Biden wrestled down faster than his peers.

"Here are a few things that Donald Trump’s lawyer says a president ought to be immune from prosecution for doing," @GrahamDavidA writes: "Selling nuclear secrets; employing the U.S. military to assassinate a political rival; launching a coup." theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
We've been talking about the Republican rejection of democracy for a while now, but to see and hear them explicitly state it is still unnerving.
Media aren’t taking the deep dive we need into Heritage Foundation's 900+ page Project 2025. Authored by Trump's cronies, it gives a frightening picture of the MAGA agenda. For example, the section on Dept of Labor shows the plan to eliminate all protections for the LGBTQ+. /1

@ENERGY @SecGranholm @JigarShahDC Maybe the most exciting solution is advanced reconductoring, which is a fancy way of saying replacing old wires with new lines made of modern materials that can carry more than twice as much electricity. Same towers. Same rights-of-way. Twice the power. 5/12
PLOS ONE published an RCT of a program providing free reading glasses to adults needing near-vision correction in Bangladesh (where ~1/3 of adults need such correction but only 3% get it). Quick take: High-quality RCT finds sizable 33% gain in workforce earnings at 8-mo mark. 1/6

JUST RELEASED: Research from AEI's @MEaglen estimates that China's true military spending is $710.6 billion. This calculation is 3x larger than Beijing's self-reported totals and several billion dollars higher than estimates from the US intelligence community.
Annoying that this comes to us from a basically fake pollster, but clearly there is a difference between the commonsense understanding of “permanent ceasefire” (Israelis and Palestinians stop killing each other forever) and what it means as a term of art in this context.

Really pleased to see French President Macron, @EmmanuelMacron start a discussion about the need for a European nuclear deterrent. WIth the possibility of Trump getting elected, this has to happen. politico.eu/article/emmanu….
Crucial point from @amandacarpenter: You can't dismiss Trump's unhinged comments overheard by Bill Barr about targeting foes as just rhetoric. He and his allies are drawing up *concrete plans* to do this in a second term! We dug deep into this on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/181060…
I was there In 68/69. Romantic views of protest and rebellion were dangerous then and now. Protest must serve the end goal, nothing else. Strategy is imperative. The result of 1968 was sending middle America into the arms of the right wing, the goal demolished From within.

Reminder that before 1982, stock buybacks were considered stock manipulation. Reagan's SEC opened the floodgates to their abuse. Stock buybacks don’t create more jobs. They don't increase wages. They don’t grow the economy. They do one thing: Make corporate execs richer.
Google laid off over 12,000 workers last year, and it hasn't stopped in 2024. Now, it's doing a staggering $70 billion in stock buybacks.

don't take it from me everyone knows what happened we negotiated a tough bipartisan border security bill. trump and the republicans killed it because THEY WANT THE BORDER TO STAY A MESS

The embarrassed face one makes when finally being called out as a "Trump apologist" Katy Tur is and has been making excuses for Trump for months. #MSNBC do better than this "both sides" "what-about?" loser.
My favorite thing today was Speaker Pelosi telling Katy Tur what we've ALL wanted to tell her for the past few years, that she's a trump apologist hack and she should stop pretending and do it full time. I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it.
Katy Tur is not used to being called out as a “Trump apologist” as bluntly as Nancy Pelosi put it.Tur’s cheeks even blushed as soon as she realized that Pelosi…unlike many other guests…would not let Tur’s snide incorrect remark slide by unchallenged. @KatyTurNBC @SpeakerPelosi
PELOSI: Trump has the worst record of jobs loss of any president KATY TUR: There was a global pandemic PELOSI: He had the worst record of any president. If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role
I could watch Speaker Pelosi humble Katy Tur all day long. Well done, @SpeakerPelosi.
Nancy Pelosi calls out Katy Tur for being a Trump apologist, " If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain't mine." Tur, "I don't think anybody can accuse me of that." Many MSNBC viewers say Tur is exactly that. Pelosi is not alone.
Speaker Pelosi does not suffer foolishness easily Reminding Katy Tur the Trump "economy" was a disaster-even before COVID Like when he promised autoworkers in Ohio their plant wouldn't close Then it did Don't be a #TrumpApologist @KatyTurNBC Joe Biden IS the jobs president
