Oh good lord.🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Via Katie Phang;

So at 11:00 a.m. ET, #Trump posts on Truth Social calling Judge Merchan's courtroom a "kangaroo court" and calling on Merchan to recuse himself. Trump also assails the gag order, (falsely) claiming that he cannot defend himself.

This while we await a ruling from Judge Merchan on Trump's 10 violations of the #GagOrder... #TrumpTrial #legal

Via Kyle Cheney:

JUST IN: Rep. Bennie Thompson (former chair of the Jan. 6 committee) has introduced legislation that would terminate Secret Service protection for, uh, anyone sentenced to a year or more in jail.

Congratulations Arizona! You’ve discovered the power of prayer!

Because of this along with a 160 year old law Arizona has outlawed abortion—stripping women of their bodily autonomy and putting lives at risk

Let me be clear

If you abstain from voting or vote 3rd party: you are directly attacking me and all women

Vote.

Take back the house. Enshrine Reproductive Rights.

Easter can happen any day between March 22 and April 25

Next year, Easter will fall on Hitler’s birthday

But for some reason, the GOP wants to be outraged Easter coincides with the International Transgender Day of Visibility

They are calling out the President for somehow moving the internationally recognized day to today

Yet it’s been the same day since 2010

Weird hill to die on

…but at least you’ll be resurrected in three days to seethe again

Happy #TransDayOfVisiblity 🏳️‍⚧️ ❤️

Goodbye Mifepristone
Though I never knew you at all…

24 years. Safe and effective.

If the illegitimate Supreme Court doesn’t recognize legal precedent you can be sure as hell they won’t recognize medical precedent

And Mifepristone has use cases far beyond “abortion pill.” Good job, news media 👍

It’s not often we get a real-time look at a shift in the Overton Window. But that’s what this is.

CNN -- "In Biden’s pledge to ‘shut down’ border, a stunning political shift"
https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/29/politics/border-shutdown-biden-what-matters/index.html

The right wing (Trump, in this case) stakes out an extreme position on an issue. Then the left wing (or what used to be left, now more like center-right) counters that by moderating their previous position in an ill-advised attempt to court conservative voters.

Hi GOP Fascist Party who want to stop helping Ukraine:

“#Hungary's far-right Our Homeland party would lay claim to a western region of #Ukraine that is home to about 150,000 ethnic Hungarians if Ukraine loses its statehood due to #Russia's invasion, the party's leader said late on Saturday.”
