Four key parts of the abortion bill Schumer will bring up for a vote next week: nationalreview.com/2022/05/schume…

1. How it creates a right to abortion through 9 months of pregnancy in all 50 states:
2. It would strike down almost all state laws on abortion, including parental-consent laws supported by 70% of Americans:
3. It would gut conscience and religious liberty protections:
4. It would create a right for non-doctors to perform abortions:
5. I said four, but here’s a fifth:

Murkowski and Collins point out that it would prohibit state laws banning sex-selective abortions—the killing of baby girls in the womb because they are girls.
Should I keep going?

6. It would abolish state laws requiring a 24-hour waiting period prior to obtaining an abortion—measures that Americans back nationally by a 41-point margin, according to Gallup.

7. It would strike down state laws requiring that abortionists inform women of alternatives to abortion, measures that Americans support by a 77-point margin, according to Gallup.
8. The bill could potentially force 50 states to pay for elective abortions for Medicaid recipients because it bans measures that "directly or indirectly increase the cost of providing abortion services or the cost for obtaining abortion services." web.archive.org/web/2018120520…
Even if WHPA doesn't mandate tax-funded Medicaid abortions, House Democrats unanimously voted in 2021 to kill the Hyde amendment.

Congressional Democrats are probably 1 or 2 Senate seats from ending Hyde: nationalreview.com/2021/07/house-…
9. The WHPA would invalidate Pennsylvania's late-term abortion law under which Kermit Gosnell was convicted for killing 21 infants in utero later than 24 weeks of pregnancy (charges in addition to murders he committed after birth)
web.archive.org/web/2018120520…

10. It would strike down state partial-birth abortion bans—for example, the one in Georgia—that aren’t the same as the federal partial-birth abortion ban.

@EdWhelanEPPC on why that matters:

Tucker’s Russia expert is a high-school dropout from California who said in 2016 (at age 26): “I have multiple exes who are Russian and I came to Moscow in March [2015] to visit a girl.”

The words “crazy” and “evil” are not synonyms, fyi.

When a mob boss kills for reasons of personal ego and/or family pride—not merely for a short-term financial gain—we don't say the mob boss was "not a rational actor."
I don't get the "omg, Putin said Ukraine isn't a real country—did he go crazy???" takes.

Nebraska GOP senator @BenSasse on RNC’s censure of Cheney&Kinzinger: “January 6th was not 'legitimate political discourse' and I'll say it again: It was shameful mob violence to disrupt a constitutionally-mandated meeting of Congress to affirm the peaceful transfer of power."
RNC spokesman sends me this statement from RNC chair McDaniel:
RNC spokesman also sends me this @FDRLST article to justify the claim Jan 6 committee is persecuting ordinary citizens who "had nothing to do with violence at the Capitol" thefederalist.com/2022/01/20/onl…

McAuliffe ran hard on abortion—hitting the issue in TV ads, speeches, debates.

Media and McAuliffe said the issue could sink Youngkin after Texas's 6-week ban took effect on September 1.

McAuliffe even campaigned at an abortion clinic.

McAuliffe was leading Youngkin by 5.2 points in the RCP polling average on the day the Texas law took effect.
At a press conference devoted solely to the issue of abortion on September 8, McAuliffe wouldn't tell @NRO if he still supported Kathy Tran's radical abortion bill: nationalreview.com/2021/09/terry-…

But McAuliffe admitted he would do just that at the first debate: nationalreview.com/corner/terry-m…

New @NRO: John Eastman vs. the Eastman Memo

nationalreview.com/2021/10/john-e…

I interviewed Eastman for close to an hour about the now-infamous memo.
Eastman on the Eastman memo's proposal for Pence to reject Electoral College votes and send the election to the House: “Anybody who thinks that that’s a viable strategy is crazy.” nationalreview.com/2021/10/john-e…
Eastman’s employer says his legal advice has been “maliciously misrepresented” by the media.

In fact, most media outlets have accurately reported the content of the Eastman memo.

The issue: Eastman says the memo he wrote doesn't reflect his own views. nationalreview.com/2021/10/john-e…
