"Trump aides think it’s a net plus. The longer the discussion is about migrants, the less it is about tougher topics for them.

"I see covering abortion rights in this moment as covering democracy. Newsrooms need to be vigilant to not distort the fact that 65 to 70 percent of Americans support legal access to abortion."

"To give equal weight to each 'side' in coverage is already a distortion of the electorate that often fails to account for the anti-democratic forces at work in the anti-abortion movement's fringe."

@GreenFire He seems to be one of those Politico folks who claim to have an inside track on Trump's inner circle, Trump whisperers.

@GreenFire I had seen news about that earlier today. Yes, that outfit leans very much in a Republican direction. I read articles there only when they occasionally pop up in feed of commentators I prefer to read.

@wdlindsy Hi William, Isn't this just the old Jesuitical mental reservation? Is it a coincidence that all these guys are Catholics?
Best! -

@wdlindsy Here is Trump the felon rapist, and criminal extraordinaire talking about migrants, being rapists and criminals is pure projection. Not sure about the eating of cats and dogs though, maybe we do not know this about Trump?

Sending abortion "back to the states" has only shown how undemocratic and extreme many states are. -

@KanaMauna Yes, that's the historical ideological basis for this nonsense, for sure.

@TCatInReality Well-stated. It has, for sure. And, of course, we knew from the outset that the whole concept of states' rights was crafted to preserve the institution of slavery by thwarting democratic attempts to overturn it.

@a_phlaming_phoenix Yes, morality has long since flown out the window for the political party that not so long ago shouted to us that it and it alone defended morality and values and the bible and God.

@mycenaean_guy I could well see Vance grabbing onto that tarnished old tradition of mental reservation, now that he's become a right-wing Catholic.

The same states that ban abortion provide absolutely no help for medical expenses, therapy, etc.
Republicans wage war on women, rape campaigns are part of that war.
