Republicans had the chance to protect access to to IVF and require insurance companies to cover such fertility procedures. Instead, they chose to strike down the bill despite knowing that voters are watching reproductive issues closely.

Donald Trump has another reason to thank the Secret Service. Sunday, he was at his golf club in Florida when he had to stop playing before the 6th hole. That’s because his protection detail spotted the barrel of a rifle sticking out of a fence. While the would be shooter didn’t get a chance to open fire, the Secret Service certainly did. The suspect managed to speed away in a car, but was arrested a short time later. Trump walked away injury free. The FBI says this is an “apparent attempted

That it is Friday the 13th seems appropriate given the horror show that the Trump campaign is putting forward. Yesterday at a rally, Trump continued to insist that immigrants are abducting people’s pets, though he did not say they were eating them this time. Meanwhile, when Trump surrogate Stephen Miller was asked to back up some of the awful things he was saying about immigrants with facts, he couldn’t do it and he lost his mind.

Trump and Vance are slamming down on the MAGA gas pedal. Despite knowing Haitians are not eating house pets in Ohio, that President Biden won the last election, and that nowhere in America are fetal executions lawful, the GOP candidates continue to amplify lies. The campaign strategy seems to be - no matter how outlandish the statement, the more you spew something and the more people hear it, the more they will accept and believe it.

Trump‘s mental decline has been on full display yet, unlike the spotlight that was shined on President Biden, the media seems to be looking away from Trump’s obvious cognitive issues. Case in point, Trump was speaking about child care yesterday and here’s what he said: “Childcare is childcare, couldn’t, y’know, is something, you have to have it in this country, you have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers, compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations

According to the “Washington Post”, the attacks are in full force when it comes to campaign ads, most of those are Trump commercials targeting Harris. Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist
