If we win the House/Senate/White House, we must rebalance the courts to make them more representative of the country, not the rich.

I'm particularly sickened by their indifference to the child following along behind them, and the impact this needless, cruel, racist violence will have on her.
In addition to the humiliation and assault they inflicted on the mom.

He might feel more comfortable crying at home too.
I made it through my first half-day of kindergarten without crying, which was a big feat. But then my mother had to go observe crossing guards and couldn't take me home away right away. The last straw, I finally sobbed.

I went through this, the induced labor; thank you for the positive reinforcement that this was the only loving/caring parenting decision a mother could make. It's helpful to me now, 26 years later.
It was very difficult, but not as traumatic as what this young women endured.

Those look like the programs, known to be effective, that Reagan defunded (to fund military and destroy government) back in the 1980s.
Trump is blocking release of the Democratic memo that will expose GOP lies and obstruction of the Russia probe. Although the Democrats can’t release the memo, it’s entirely legal for
@RepAdamSchiff
to read it into the record on the House floor.

Five states conduct all elections entirely by mail: Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, and Utah.
It's easy and helpful and brings record voting, which the GOP doesn't want. They'd rather you risk your life so they can more easily disenfranchise you.

You mean the way the GOP treated Merrick Garland's "nomination process with the respect & dignity it deserved"? GOP senators refused to meet w that highly qualified judge bc they were holding out for a more far-right extremist, apparently McConnell knew Putin would succeed.

We know you're loyal to your party. Cons talk about conservative "values," you've now demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt in your adherence to your party that the ONLY GOP principle is tax cuts for the rich. 100 years of failure. "What -- me worry?"

The term "stack the courts" suggests something undemocratic, and its what the GOP did. I said rebalance, to make it more representative of the population, not the oligarchy. You prefer oligarchy over democracy, I take it. So does the current court -- see Citizens United.

There is also the possibility that he did not conspire directly, was just the beneficiary of the Russian efforts, and did not expect to win, so is an accidental president.
But based on his body language at Helsinki, it seems that Putin has some sort of hold on him.
Kavanaugh was willing to let Louisiana ignore Supreme Court precedent to enforce an unconstitutional TRAP law.
He has loudly signaled that he isn't willing to enforce Roe and its progeny. This is a declaration of war on Roe by Kavanaugh.
@jonathanvswan
Jobs? Really? So now kids have to be bombed and starved so that Americans can have jobs (or not), and that's all that's important here (whether there actually are jobs seems to be beside the point -- we're participating in a crime against humanity, and you want to talk jobs.)

Really sorry.

It represents an attitude toward women and their autonomy:

He consistently has demonstrated an absence of sympathy or respect for women; has objectified them so he can use them for his ego.

Since Stephens called Palestinians mosquitoes, don't you think that you should have reconsidered publishing this vindictive garbage? Stephens is using the Times to get even with his enemy.
Also, editors, they're apparently literal bedbugs in the link:
Among other questions, since they reviewed the source prepublication, I’d be curious to know what the editors make of its parenthetical that says the reference to bedbugs ought to be treated as literal. Why was that complication omitted for the column?
