This is a much watch. It brought Lawrence O’Donnell to tears last night. I cried with him. I wasn't raised Catholic, so I learned something new along the way.
Lawrence: Who is going to tell that boy? Who is going to tell that 6 year-old how his mother died and who is really responsible?

Spread the word!
Republican women: your vote is a secret! Nobody has to know. But you’ll sleep well knowing you cast your vote for Harris/Walz to save democracy and to protect your right to privacy!

Why did republicans block the IVF protection bill today (again)? After their nominee said last week he was a "champion for fertilization"?
- Donald was lying (shocker)
- They claimed IVF wasn't in jeopardy, conveniently ignoring the Alabama Supreme Court ruling to protect embryos (fetal personhood).
- They want fetal personhood established in more states, which would effectively end IVF for women seeking this treatment to have children.
- They didn't want to be seen giving democrats any kind of "win"...never mind that it impacts women all over America, regardless of their political beliefs.
- They're fiercely loyal to the Project 2025 agenda.----They don't care who and how many they have to hurt in order to get what they want.They see doing anything in a bipartisan manner as weakness.They have no intention of making America great. They want to watch America burn...and reign over its ashes.

Hmm. Bragging about being humble is...not very humble Sarah.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders mocks VP Kamala Harris for not having biological children:
My kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn't have anything keeping her humble
===
From Cole and Emma's mom.
Cole and Ella keep us inspired to make the world a better place. I do it through storytelling. Kamala Harris has spent her entire career working for the people, ALL families. That keeps you pretty humble.
Attacking women for not having biological children says more about the person doing the attacking, than it does about the person who doesn’t have biological children

Oh my goodness. This new Kamala Harris ad is so powerful. Hadley Duvall tells how her stepfather raped her when she was 12 & then she became pregnant. But girls now can no longer access the care she got because of Trump. Billie Eilish closes the ad. Watch.

Meanwhile, for others, it always was about the lucre.
Two failed Republican presidential candidates announced new jobs in media this week. Vivek Ramaswamy will anchor a program on the Fox Nation streaming service, while Nikki Haley will host a weekly podcast that will air on SiriusXM through Inauguration Day. www.msnbc.com/...

New in PN: Trump's delusional debate spin speaks volumes
"Supporting Trump is like taking up permanent residence in Lewis Carroll’s storybook Wonderland where you must believe 9 impossible things before breakfast, no matter if they contradict each other"

Translation: The leopard WILL eat your face.
Former Republican Congressman Bob Inglis: I feel sorry for [Trump]. He's really quite a sick puppy. He needs some help.

AND, we've reached the point in the Shade where I curse. Again. Fuck You Jackoff Douchebag.
A smoking gun. J.D. Vance knew that Haitians weren't stealing and eating pets in Springfield. Despite at least 33 bomb threats, death threats against public officials, terror among Haitians — in a town in the state he represents — Vance kept saying it anyway.
===
Exactly!
If Vance is willing to lie and unleash hell on his own constituents for what he believed was political gain what does that say about he would be willing to do to the country?

Preach it Coach Walz! (He's really good at this).
Gov. Walz in North Carolina: "You know her story. Took on the predators. Took on the fraudsters. Took on the transnational gangs. Took on the big corporate interests … I bet she never thought the predators and the fraudsters and the greedy corporate interests would be all wrapped up into one person on a debate stage."

Donald Trump cannot be trusted “to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic . . . and bear true faith and allegiance to the same.
