Everyone must watch all 8 minutes and 24 seconds of this speech by Michelle Obama. It might be the finest I’ve ever heard on the topic of abortion rights, as well as the stakes in this election for American women…and the men who love them. Share widely. https://t.co/GJOa3OZJxD

Egregious demagoguery and self-interested exploitation of the tragedy of this woman’s family. By itself this ad is disqualifying.
I was joined this afternoon in Austin, Texas by Alexis Nungaray, whose 12-year-old daughter Jocelyn was murdered by illegal aliens let in under Kamala Harris. We will NEVER FORGET Jocelyn, we’ve all seen her picture, it’s blazed into our minds forever.

Back in March the redoubtable @anelsona wrote about Project 2025, before everyone rightly grew alarmed about it and before Trump denied he knew anything about the document his team had assembled. It's still one of the best pieces out there.
