Trump cuts threaten access to birth control for millions of women Birth control is routine for many Americans and polls show it's popular across party lines. Now, the Trump administration is withholding funds that provide contraception for low income people.

Voters:
We want lower prices and healthcare.

Trump:
Here’s a billion dollar airplane, a ballroom and a nuke plant on the moon.

Fighting Fire With Fire From Austin to Albany, This Is the Counterpunch We’ve Been Waiting For

“Because the truth is, Republicans aren’t just playing to win — they’re playing to end the game entirely. They don’t want fair elections; they want fixed outcomes. They don’t want to debate policy; they want to decide who’s even allowed on the ballot.”

ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller The road to fascism is paved with "objectivity" and "civility."

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller

"Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement AOC, solidarity, and people power.

"Fight the authoritarians on everything. If the stock market drops, scream about it. Because it’s their fault. When a kid dies of measles—their fault. Attack them every day, on whatever the latest thing is. Turn 'flood the zone' against them."

Thanks to my friend Neil for sharing this with me. It is going to be my mantra. I may need some gentle nudges at times. 😏

Musk in Die Welt It did not take long for Eva Marie Kogel, the opinion editor at Die Welt, Germany’s paper of record, to decide what the right thing for her to do was.

Musk's opinion piece for the German paper Die Welt, endorsing a right-wing extremist political party, matters a lot more for us than you might think, so I spent some time putting together a look at German politics, Musk's views, and the reaction to them. joycevance.substack.com/p/musk-in-di...

Why shouldn't CEOs run scared of being shot?
After all, this is America, where guns have more rights and women!!

I hope they all have to look over their shoulders ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!

Something to Think About.

I will never be okay with the fact that he got away with this.

Quite so.

Imagine you’re at a party and it’s pretty chill and then all the sudden a bunch of really angry Nazis show up and start trashing the place.

Nobody would say you have to stay at that party or else you’d be “ceding ground.” Especially when there’s a fun party down the street you can go to.

Post by Jamie Selzer: Michelle Obama: “Our food environment isn’t healthy and we should explore some changes” Republicans: “You’re a communist taking our freedom!” RFK Jr: “Literally anything added to food is poison” Republicans: “Agreed! I demand you make all my food choices for me!”

Well, this gets it exactly right, doesn’t it?

Good Lord, the headline and framing of this new CNN report is atrocious.

The Trumpists aren’t searching for partisans in permanent civil service.

They’re searching for non-partisans to be extracted and replaced with partisans.

I’ve no hope major media will do better this Trump term than the last.

Elon Musk Puts His Imprint on the Trump Transition at Mar-a-Lago He’s on the patio. He’s on the golf course. Everywhere Donald Trump looks, there is the world’s richest man.

Let me state this is bluntly as I can, as a biographer of both Donald Trump and Elon Musk: Vladimir Putin is now inside the U.S. government, with visibility into absolutely everything. He has that access through Trump, Musk, and David Sacks.

We are fully infiltrated. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/u...

It literally impossible for me to roll my eyes any harder without looking down my own throat.
