Tucker Carlson says abortions cause hurricanes
Harris is saying all the right things
Kamala Harris’s 2020 campaign fell flat, and political observers criticized her campaigning as inept. She apparently learned from her mistakes, because four years later she’s grown as a campaigner. She ate Trump’s lunch in their debate, she’s campaigned on issues that resonat[...]
Governors don’t get to decide which political advertising is “false”
It’s now clear it was Gov. Ron DeSantis who ordered Florida TV stations to stop airing ads for an abortion-rights initiative. The cease-and-desist letter to TV stations was signed by the state health department’s top lawyer, who has since resigned and now says he was coerced to sign the [...]
Abortion ban exceptions aren’t real

Will Vance hurt Trump?
It increasingly appears Trump chose his #2 too hastily. Vance’s youth and inexperience Vance’s toxic ties to rightwing venture capitalists Vance’s connection to extremist “Project 2025” Vance’s awkward “childless cat ladies” slur Vance’s idea to tax people for not having chil[...]

How Republicans are fighting abortion initiatives
For decades, overturning Roe v. Wade was the holy grail of the right-to-life movement. After grotesque Senate machinations created a pro-life majority on the Supreme Court, they got a decision leaving abortion rights up to the states. What happened next was predictable, given that two-thirds of Amer[...]
