Donald doesn’t need anyone but his AG to effectively ban abortion nationwide. All he has to do is change the policy and say “enforce the Comstock Act”. By doing this, he would shut down the ability for anything used for an abortion to legally be sent through the mail (or *common carrier* like UPS, FedEx, etc). No new laws required.
"This status quo is not sustainable. Democrats cannot save our republic by just winning every election forever. Once in office, they need to be much more serious about using the power they have to disqualify and prosecute election deniers and insurrectionists. They need to strip power from a rogue and illegitimate Supreme Court.
But while winning forever isn’t a viable strategy, winning right now is the only option we’ve got at the moment. The alternative is losing not just the presidency, but the government—and not just for a cycle, but for decades, and quite possibly forever. If you are not voting because you think Trump won’t keep his worst promises, I’d urge you to reconsider. He can keep them, and he will."
Thankfully Manchin and Sinema will be gone from the Senate. They had extremely misguided faith in holding to the filibuster. A cudgel! Craziness. Wittingly or not, they refused to have any carveouts in it, not even in order to save democracy. Insanity.
Fucking christ, this shit on my day.
sorry about that
I know.
I think we're going to kick some ass here in az.

And I think that'll be Ken Paxton, personally.
Huh. could be. Paxton's super erratic and would have trouble getting confirmed even in a gop senate, I'd guess.
it'll be someone horrible though, for sure.

Yup, I more or less share your sentiments.

My nightmare. Nuclear war. The end.
