It is irresponsible to obsess over Pres #Biden’s tendency to mangle a couple of words in a speech while #Trump is out there sounding detached from reality. Biden, who is old, at least makes sense. Trump, who also is old, rants like someone you’d cross the street to avoid.

The Senate will vote shortly on a bill to prevent birth control from being banned. Republicans previously blocked attempts at this and may do so again.

If you'd told me 60 years ago that we'd be debating whether birth control should be legal in 2024, I wouldn't have believed it.

@GottaLaff. Thank you for gifting this. Glad to see this covered even belatedly (people are afraid) but "provocative"? The NYT whiffs the headline yet again.

    Is it also illegal to say, "I have my reasons"? Has that free speech also been banned?

    #TrumpTrial Tues 14 May, 2024 🧵

    #Trump has his posse again. Today it’s more #Republican elected officials. Today, Trump will be joined by the #House speaker, #MikeJohnson, as well as #NorthDakota’s governor, #DougBurgum, a contender to be Trump's running mate. Also present will be Representatives #ByronDonalds & #CoryMills of Florida, & #VivekRamaswamy, who was one of Trump's primary rivals this year. Both Donalds & Ramaswamy are longshot hopefuls to be Trump's running mate.

    "This is a fundamental breakdown in the ability ['s] to use language. . . .There is no healthy older person who speaks that way."

    Trump also engages in "tangential speech." . . that's a sign of real brain damage, not being old, not being slow, not losing a step, but of severe cognitive deterioration. What I don’t understand is why those clips aren’t replayed over & over in the mainstream media.

"As Adam Serwer recently wrote in the Atlantic, Republicans hope the overt misogyny is "a way to expand their base of support beyond the core of white Xian conservatives," by reaching some men of color & non-religious men. The strategy has had some success. . .
