This is the through-line linking abortion bans, transition care bans, hatred of gay people, and the dismantling of public education. Instead of making our economy more generous to try and increase the birthrate, they want to take away the alternatives to parenthood.

Thirty-five years after the Velvet Revolution, this quote by Vaclav Havel, retains its power: “There is only one thing I will not concede: that it might be meaningless to strive in a good cause.”

For “realists” in Western Europe, isn’t it simply that Ukrainians are East Europeans, and that Russia is somehow entitled to own them? For “realists” in the US, isn’t it ultimately the “we provoked Russia by talking about Ukraine in @NATO” argument, so it is on us, not Russia?4/9

If Ukraine is defeated, “realists” will discover that their brand of realism is actually appeasement by another name. The regional balance of power in Europe will dissolve in short order, China, Iran and North Korea will be emboldened, and the West will become yet more timid. 8/9

TAPPER: Does it matter anymore for Republicans to think of leaders as people who are moral in their personal lives? Is that still important in the GOP? MIKE JOHNSON: Ah, sure. What I'll say about the nominees the president has put forward is they will shake up the status quo.

.@mmfa here has a good breakdown of Hegseth's 2020 book, literally titled "American Crusade." He echoes many far-right talking points about the threat of Muslims to Western Civ, the need for modern Crusades vs. Islam, & rampant Islamophobic lies. 15/ mediamatters.org/pete-hegseth/p…

“If Trump gets his way, we will have a defender of war criminals as Secretary of Defense, a Russian lackey as Director of National Intelligence, a criminal running the Department of Justice, and a crank promoter of quack remedies in charge of HHS.” open.substack.com/pub/theunpopul…

I ran the surrogate vertical for the Harris-Walz campaign. And as I point out in this piece, we NEVER have or would pay a surrogate to endorse @VP . This is disinfo perpetuated by the right. FEC law mandates we have to pay some ancillary costs, especially around performers.…

I deeply oppose any organization—public or private—secretly harvesting gun owners’ personal information. That’s why I’m so troubled by the National Shooting Sports Foundation compiling a secret national database—containing reams of such private information.propublica.org/article/blumen…

Dear MAGA, friends & family. RFK Jr. wants to immediately stop the development of new drugs for cancer, Alzheimers & other illnesses for eight years. Hope your family stays healthy. Is this what you signed up for when you voted?

Even setting aside the alleged child-sex-trafficking (a phrase I never thought I'd say), Gaetz has no business being America's top cop. The things he's done in public -- including socializing with Holocaust deniers and white supremacists -- should be sufficiently disqualifying.
