Republicans know banning abortions is a losing issue for them but they can’t stop doing it (yesterday’s decision out of Georgia). I think this is a harbinger of things to come, a movement against the morning after pill, birth control pills and once republicans are done with that, they’ll come for no fault divorce. The question is why, why are republicans willing to lose on taking away women’s rights?

Ultimately I think the answer is the right is so tied to far right religious zealots and evangelicals they can no longer unentangled themselves long enough to shift their message

Trumpworld has worked the refs so well that you have people who think a criminal conviction will help Trump.

This is preposterous Swing voters and lower information voters are not going to be “won over” by the fact that a jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records to hide pay offs to the adult film star he cheated on his third wife with. Did I mention this was right after the birth of his 5th child?

I spent a lot of time reading about project 2025 and now honestly I’m kind of completely freaked out. “Restoring the American family” by making work requirements for food stamps

This is a good speech and Biden seems really fiery and keyed up. Biden calling out the January 6 insurrectionists while standing right in front of a guy who tried to overturn the 2020 election

I remember when Texas bill SB8 passed almost a year before the Dobbs decision, that women like Kate cox would be denied life saving medical care in the name of “life.” I take no pleasure in being right. The case of Kate cox proves definitively that abortion is healthcare. Republican politicians have made it clear that they think they know more than doctors when it comes to women’s healthcare

You may not realize it, but the Republican primary is still happening. The third GOP debate takes place Wednesday night; five candidates will be onstage, despite having no chance at the nomination, with almost all of them polling nationally …

I wrote about the new very trumpy speaker of the house MAGA MIKE

vanityfair.com/news/2023/10/m…
Republicans made a guy who dresses like Paul Ryan but acts like Sidney Powell their Speaker. Perhaps this will delight deep red MAGA types, but more mainstream voters may be turned off by a political leader who says, “Go pick up a Bible….

I wrote about how the Biden administration is getting a lot done and not getting a lot of coverage of it

vanityfair.com/news/2023/09/j…
The problem for Team Biden is that its superpower, its ability to slide under the radar while getting a lot done for the American people, may also be its Achilles heel, holding back the administration from getting the credit it deserves.

Hi @joerogan, why won’t you debate me? What are you afraid of? Are you worried about me puncturing your fear factor narrative? Really disappointed by @joerogan’s ignoring me

Why is Ron Desantis yelling at me about the “woke mind virus?” Oh now, desantis is delivering a little very boring and vague history lesson.

I wrote about the GOP’s war on ideas in @VanityFair

vanityfair.com/news/2023/05/r… Florida has been ground zero for this anti-education crusade, with Governor Ron DeSantis auditioning for the GOP 2024 presidential primary by selling himself as an even more far-right version of Donald Trump.

“In the 1990s, syndicated columnist Cal Thomas wrote that the GOP “no longer identified as a party of ideas”; he was among many conservative pundits who lamented the end of the Reagan years. It’s more than 30 years later, and I would argue that Thomas …” vanityfair.com/news/2023/04/r… The Republican Party long dreamed of overturning Roe, and last June, a conservative-majority Supreme Court was finally able to achieve it. The results were dystopian: women driving for hours and sleeping in their cars, doctors refusing to treat them.

I wrote about how much the GOP loves losing in ⁦@VanityFair⁩ vanityfair.com/news/2023/04/t… The GOP turned three Tennessee Democrats into celebrities, the unpopular antiabortion crackdown is still in full force, and the party is rallying around an indicted Donald Trump. What politically disastrous decision will Republicans make next?

The lesson from Silicon Valley Bank, and from Norfolk Southern is that you can’t trust any of these companies to regulate themselves. One more thought about the wildly unsexy field of regulation. if regional banks and train companies are getting into this much trouble, imagine what’s happening with tech companies
