Hello Twitter are we hydrated and have we had dinner? I'll be livetweeting the debate tonight and just want to make sure we're all prepared
While we're getting ready for tonight...have you had a chance to check out this gallery of what the future of the Supreme Court could look like depending on the outcome of this election? If not you should do so like right now. Go ahead. I'll wait.
Here in Colorado abortion is literally on the ballot. Prop 115 would ban later abortion in almost every instance. It's not just an attack on abortion access in Colorado. It's an attack on access nationwide
And I mean. Hasn't Louisiana been through enough? Fighting off yet another attempt to ban abortion in the state shouldn't be a thing patients and advocates have to deal with this year
And O MY GOD please. Do yourselves a favor and catch @AngryBlackLady in this Caftan Chat with @TrondyNewman I promise it will make your entire everything today
Okay time for me to take my own advice and eat and hydrate before I really settle in for A NIGHT. In the meantime please do check out some of our offerings this week over at @RewireNewsGroup if you haven't yet already! And brb!

So. I've been following Mike Pence's career for well over a decade now. I have two books where his anti-choice policies feature prominently! Some might say I have a *thing* for Mike Pence. And they wouldn't be wrong and we can all talk about that later. FOR NOW I'LL SAY THIS
This is a man who has built an entire career around enshrining his specific religious world view on the rest of us.
He wants to prosecute you if you don't deliver a healthy baby to the state
He will try and "pray the gay away" out of you which is euphamistic violence
And when given a chance to loudly and proudly proclaim these beliefs to the rest of the country he punted. He and other evangelicals don't actually have the courage of their convictions.
Look I know my prattling on about the steady march of fascism in the federal judiciary is probably growing tiresome BUT I AM WHO I AM AND IT IS WHAT IT IS
I'm that bitch who was blogging about blue slips during the Obama administration
2020 has generally been hot garbage but a real joy tonight was learning how many of you tracked with me in bungling my Mike Pence = energy vampire = Colin Peterson = Colin Robinson joke.
Y'all were picking up what I was putting down and it makes my nerd heart sing
Also giving myself the grace that maybe the best joke was in the bugling because they're all Colin's anyway 🤣
*Bungling but who is copy editing tweets during the fall of the republic anyway
The GOP has literally never had a health care plan beyond let corporations profit and individuals suffer. They've spent millions in attorneys fees defending that position while millions campaigning the other direction. IT IS ALL A GRIFT YET HERE WE ARE
