Uniparty? Hardly.
Biden and Trump offer worlds-apart contrasts on issues
Here's how the candidates stand on 10 key issues: abortion, climate / energy, democracy, federal government, immigration, Israel / Gaza, LGBTQ issues, NATO / Ukraine, trade, taxes

Jess Piper reports – from the ground in rural Missouri and Arkansas – about how, since it knows it cannot win fair and square, the Republican party is resorting to tricks, subterfuge, and outright lies to try to impose its minority position on abortion on the majority who believe that abortion should not be made illegal.
She recently went to a Democratic rally in Arkansas, and encountered a woman handing out cards with QR code.

"If she [Hillary Clinton] were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial. It would grind government to a halt."
~ Donald J. Trump, 5 November 2016

How #Republicans used #CheapFakes to attack #Biden in 24hrs
#POTUS, who at 81 is decades younger than the vets he honored during Thurs’s D-Day commemoration, nonetheless found his age & fitness in the spotlight as selectively #edited clips of him circulated online.
D-Day’s 80th quickly became the latest example of the fast spread of #manipulated videos, highlighting the use of #misinformation [ #disinformation ] & #ConspiracyTheories in politics.

So, 21 Republicans in Congress are planning on slowing things down and not doing any work in protest of Felon Trump being prosecuted.
My question is simple. How will we know the difference?
#Republicans in #Arizona to Add #Immigration Measure to #Ballot in Nov
The measure would make unlawfully entering AZ from #Mexico a #state #crime. The #legislators’ proposal would give #local #police officers the #power to #arrest & #jail *migrants* & would allow state judges to #deport people.

#Democrats seek to repeal #Comstock #abortion rule, fearing #Trump crackdown
Democrats are seeking to overhaul an 1873 federal #law that #bans abortion-related materials from being sent through the mail, worried that a future Trump admin could invoke the #ComstockAct to crack down on #AbortionAccess or effectively #ban the procedure altogether.

#Trump Allies Urge Him Not To Be a
'#RagingAsshole' at #Debate
Trump's camp doesn't want a repeat of his last debate against President #Biden ahead of the #2020election
“…Various #Republicans close to Trump have been counseling him for weeks w/a message that boils down to a more diplomatic version of the following: 'Please be less of yourself at the June debate, for the love of God.'”
[so basically, #misrepresent]

The elected #President of the #UnitedStatesofAmerica may attempt to coerce the elected #VicePresident of the United States to overthrow an election at the #ElectoralCollege and that is now considered an official act of the #Presidency

'A #Jewish couple was rejected as foster parents because of their religion. This is the future #Project2025 envisions

It's not enough to vote, there has to be massive turnout of the #poor and #working class, who will be thrown under the #bus if #Republicans win.
This chart dynamic has to change.
DEMOCRATS: your voting base is the working poor. Raising money does little to get them to vote.
Getting the working poor to the polls is everything.
Stop trying to convert MAGA, get your base to vote.
Usha #Vance told friends #Trump appalled her. Now she’s working to elect him.
The potential second lady found Trump’s actions on #Jan6 “deeply disturbing,” a friend said. But #ambition & devotion to her husband ultimately drove her to a place in the campaign.

HB 5792, introduced by Rep Brian #BeGole (R-Antrim Twp), the fmr #sheriff of Shiawassee County, would make the #MilitaryGradeWeapon the state’s ofcl rifle.

Dear Mastodon,
Your #psychology term for the day is:
"#Narcissistic Collapse"
definition:
"The fear of being publicly humiliated can lead a #narcissist to stop functioning."
example:
"#Republicans worry #Trump is having a ‘public nervous breakdown’
‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and #Republican Adam Kinzinger said"
Wow, #Trump immediately offending the very first #black #journalist.
Calling her rude, offensive, awful, nasty, hostile.
Accusing her of inviting him under false pretenses.
Complaining about a late start.
He is outrageously #aggressive to the journalists.
Wow accuses #KamalaHarris of “suddenly turning black” after identifying as #Indian prior. Absolutely false.
Says #Harris “could be” a #DEI hire.
Says #immigrants are taking “#BlackJobs”
Historic #Gun Suit Survives Serious Legal Threat Engineered by #Indiana #Republicans

A judge ruled that a law passed by Indiana’s #GOP supermajority that tried to retroactively prevent cities from suing gun manufacturers goes too far.
The decision allows one city’s decadeslong suit against gunmakers to continue.
