Really cool last couple weeks where everyone got what they wanted. GOP nixed abortion in TX, can go on about Afghanistan, continue to destroy states and the Dems have amazing fundraising talking points and fodder to SURELY get out the vote. Everyone wins!

The most hardcore Dems I know (named their dog RBG, meant it as a compliment) feel like poo poo rn, because they genuinely believed we spent the past 20 years in Afghanistan supporting women's rights. It's the blue version of how conservatives genuinely believed that we were making Iraq better

We'll see if the "we don't have to make it illegal if we just open the litigation floodgates for private citizen lawsuits to make it too expensive" method starts being applied to other things.

The comedic clusterfuck in the Texas State courts is going to be amazing. https://twitter.com/Tierney_Megan/status/1433456635557654533 The way the law is, Texas Right to Life can't do anything, but a pop-up person, or Texas Right to Schmife can just come in until the whole law is halted.

Like, get a vaccination/obtain proof or else you can sit your rear end in jail until it's time for your hearing. Feels like that would do more good than 2000$ in a bail bond.

Depends what other things it's being applied to. If it's Blue Team doing something they want the SCOTUS will poo poo on it from great heights, grant immediate injunctions and overturn it at lightning speed. If it's Red Team, it will get the exact treatment we're seeing now. "Welp can't do anything about it right now gotta let it go in to effect and then we'll get around to reviewing it probably some time eventually oh whoopsiedoodle every agency targeted by this is now bankrupt welp nobody could see that coming gee that sucks seeya guys next year." This is the return on investment for the decades and decades of monied right wing interests purchasing the judicial branch. They're gonna get what they paid for.

Meanwhile, lockdown is going well in NZ: https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/heal...ly-unacceptable quote:A man who has tested positive for Covid-19 was taken into custody after allegedly absconding from a quarantine facility in Auckland and heading back to his home. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-coronavirus-delta-outbreak-family-transferred-after-miq-meltdown/F6HSUP47MRDSW3E33NNTS26WVM/ quote:MIQ officials have transferred a family with Covid-19 to a different isolation facility after a mum angry about her children's meal had a highly visible meltdown - leaving her room against regulation, screaming profanities at staff and military personnel, throwing an item against the wall in the hotel lobby and appearing to climb over the reception desk.

On that note, Biden has directed HHS and the DOJ to figure out whatever they can do to shield Texas women from this bullshit and Pelosi said they’re going to pass a federal codification of Roe.

The idea that Joe manchin is a deeply principled guy who can't be bought into something (whose daughter by no doubt her own virtues rose to being a pharma CEO) is the most irritating obvious lie in politics imo.
