Holy cow, a AL State Senator, Linda Madison, was ripping on these provisions being anti-woman and a dud in a leadership position (sitting in the front of the body) is sitting there flipping through his phone.

Welp, there is the test case for overturning Roe v. Wade. Wonder whether the SC will take it or not.

If they don't they have to issue an injunction don't they?

All of that can happen below the SC level

Is there any indication on how Kay Ivey will go? I assume she'll sign it but idk.

And yeah I assume there would be immediate lawsuits and hopefully a temporary injunction while the lawsuits progress.

Probably not intentional but certainly apropos.

lol simple majorities in both houses can override a veto even if she does, so who cares, its basically law now.

An international pledge by governments and online services to combat extremist content online names The Christchurch Call is being formally released today as part of an international summit in Paris. It will bear the signatures of more than a dozen nations, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Leading technology companies, including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter, have also signed on. But not the US government.

"The United States stands with the international community in condemning terrorist and violent extremist content online in the strongest terms," the White House said in an emailed statement Wednesday. The US government says it will "continue to support the overall goals reflected in the Call," however, it is "not currently in a position to join the endorsement."

Its a 1A Problem.

Kay Ivy, governor of Alabama, has signed the most restrictive abortion ban into law. She said that she doesn’t think it’s enforceable due to the current constitutional constraints but, you know what the fuck. Why not

That’s literally the point of the bill

Sure, but I hope the supreme court steps up and does their actual job and batch this motherfucker down. If you can’t get a goddamn Pat Roberts on your side he might be a gigantic piece of dog shit.

Trump pardoned former business partner Conrad Black.

I know polls mean nothing, especially this far out, but having Biden up on Trump by 11 in the new Quinnipiac poll in Pennsylvania gives me a lot of hope..

Trump needs PA and I think Biden will run very strong in PA, Michigan and Wisconsin.

I also remember almost every poll showed Biden ahead of Trump before he decided not to run in 2016.

Can anyone remember seeing any poll where Trump is/was ahead of Biden. I can't think of many, if at all.

I'm crossing my fingers....

When I see a spider in the house or some insect trapped, I let them free, even if they are a pest. When there are flies in the house, I have this trick where I turn off all the lights except the room between the flies and the front door. The flies are attracted to the light so they go to the room with the light. Then I turn on the next room's light and turn off the light in the room with the flies and the flies go into the next room. I slowly usher all the flies out of the house, room by room, finishing by opening the front door with the porch light on. The flies all go outside. It's humane. Even though I fucking hate flies and they carry disease, I still treat that life with respect. I could use a fly swatter and it would take less time, but I try to let even the least useful things live. If I saw Trump unconscious and drowning in a puddle, I wouldn't even bother to roll him over. Sadly, that is the honest truth.

Biden national campaign HQ will be in Philadelphia

Job creator!

DeBlasio officially announced this morning. Its a pretty weird phenomenon I think. The sheer volume of of candidates is depressing top line polling %'s and thus making everyone feel like they have a chance and inviting even more entrants. Will be wild if we get to Iowa/NH with 25 candidates.

I hate people. Half of them need to drop out and run for senate

Surely only three or four of the 23 have an actual, legitimate shot at the nomination and the presidency. Its like the NBA.

There's going to have to be an adult and kids debate. the marianne williamses and alan yangs and kirsten gillibrands (lol) can debate at 6est and the big guns can go later.

Who are the real candidates?

Biden
Pete
Beto
Bernie

Is that it?
