What would I do? Senate, House, DNC & Dem Govs EACH need to have a Rapid React WarRoom staffed 24/7/365. They need to have a rotating Senator, Rep, & Gov on call all times to post video, TikTok, statements & do interviews. Pressers are old, tired & mostly useless. Welcome to 2025

“I would humbly suggest—if we do indeed survive this current threat to self-governance—that President Harris takes Washington’s guidance and expands the study of civics, both in our school and in our communities” and strengthens education more broadly.

רפובליקת בננות. במקום לדאוג קודם כל לביטחון המדינה ולשים את טובת האזרחים והחיילים בראש מעייניו, ראש הממשלה החליט לפטר את שר הביטחון ולהתחיל בסבב מינויים חדש במהלך לחימה, כל זאת בכדי לענות על צרכים פוליטיים מבישים. אם ניתן להחליף שר ביטחון באמצע לחימה, ניתן גם להחליף ראש ממשלה

It is amazing how some people can see clearly that government shouldn’t harm a pet squirrel, but not that government shouldn’t force women to bleed out in hospital parking lots.

Notice the argument that Comstock is 1) a nat'l ban that has *no exceptions*; 2) a national ban that applies to anyone, including women, who receive or mail anything. This could not only override state protections; the law could be understood to be more sweeping than state bans.

And as conservatives understand the law, it could apply to items mailed or received for surgical abortions too. Here's Project 2025, which discusses "every article, instrument, substance, medicine or thing" *calculated to lead another to use or apply it for producing abortion*
