So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave

-Paid family & medical leave

-Universal childcare

-Universal pre-K

-Expanded Child Tax Credit

-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Hurrah for Ukraine!

BREAKING

President Zelensky rejects the Trump regime's ultimatum regarding the ceding of Crimea to the Russian Federation.

"There is nothing to discussβ€”this lies outside our Constitution. This is our territory, the land of the Ukrainian people. This will NOT happen."

To me, this is helping to set up the government to be in an even better position for Project 2025. The President now doesn’t have to worry about a bunch of those β€œpesky civil servants” who may not want to do things his way, and can instead rely on individuals he handpicks or who already have leanings towards him to tailor rulings that help move forward the policies the President supports. This is so alarming and I do not believe it is getting the attention it deserves.

Thank you, Sharon, for hel…

Thankfully, no candidate supports Project 2025. Trump came out this week and said Project 2025 is "absolutely ridiculous". I think we need to stop giving so much weight and credit to it. I have yet to meet any conservative who supports it. I don't like the fear mongering over something so unrealistic, it shows paranoia akin to the far-right.

I took Trump’s denial as, β€œOops, my bad! I better deny any knowledge of P2025 so I won’t lose voters.” Interesting that some of the creators of this worked in the Trump WH.

What a mess - two undesirable candidates and our country at a crossroads.

When you say lose voters, you mean that he knows a majority of conservatives don't support it?

Yes, I can see him seeing all the pushback on it and then distancing himself. So I agree. But that is what I'm saying, I don't see any candidate wanting anything to do with it. It's Qanon level thinking which I don't think will ever come to fruition.

You are right. Why would any candidate align themselves with it? πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
