The abortion law builds on legislation passed in 2010 that represented a major shift for a traditionally Catholic country, transforming Spain into one of the most progressive countries in Europe on reproductive rights. Spain's constitutional court last week rejected a challenge by the right-wing Popular Party against allowing abortions in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.
The debate will be heated in Spain, I imagine, as the conservative opposition pushes back. My daughter had horrible menstrual pain during her adolescence and young adulthood. I'm certain that she would have benefitted from that time.

I listened to this entire exchange. It was difficult to get through. Vivek comes off as disingenuous with an air of superiority. I thought a couple of his analogies were silly.

Vivek does sound the loser here. His MAGA brain doesn't understand that accurate analogies are worth thinking about before you open your angry, nonsensical mouth. Another guy with business smarts but nothing else working up there.
DeSantis, who has made reshaping Florida's education system a top priority, endorsed 23 candidates ahead of Tuesday's election. And as of late Tuesday night, at least 11 appear to have lost. That is a notable downturn from 2022, when DeSantis saw a runaway success: Of the 30 he endorsed two years ago, just five lost.
This is good news to me. Where I live three Mom's for Liberty candidates were running for the three seats up for grabs and two lost and one is heading to a run off.

I've been listening to the audio version of Barb McQuade's book, Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America. I was able to check it out through my local library, using the Libby app.
She has a great way of explaining things, citing reputable sources and gives clear examples. If I thought I would have had professors like her, I might have been more interested in studying the law.
I just listened to her explaining how Bill Barr reframed the Mueller Report, and convinced the public that the Trump campaign had done nothing wrong, when that was the complete opposite of what actually happened.
I also enjoy her podcast, SistersInLaw, that she does weekly with 2 other lawyers, and a former lawyer, now journalist. It's very illuminating to hear 2 former federal prosecutors discuss court cases in the news.

My wife, NEB follows that podcast and she sometimes shares excerpts with me. There are lots of top notch legal analysts who explain Trump's legal perils to help people get past the chaos and confusion that Trump spreads and understand the specifics and details.
It would seem misinformation and lies isn't just a Republican issue.
Of course they forgot the repetative lie that Biden keeps making about Trump calling "white supremist very fine people" in his bizzar statement in which he involked his diseased son Bo.
Is Biden hearing voices of his dead son when he made this debunked lie about Trump? What does his "dead son" have to do with anythi g? Why would he use this sad tragety? Has no one told him this claim about Trump is not true? Or did he forget due to his cognitive decline?

"When the president was asked what he thought had happened, Donald Trump said, and I quote, 'There are very fine people on both sides.’ My God, that's what he said. That is what he said and what he meant,” Biden said during his speech.
"That's when I realized — had to listen to the admonition of my dead son — I could not stay on the sidelines. So, I ran.”

They also examine non-Trump issues like the Chevron doctrine, and Section 230 and the internet. Joyce White Vance used to work at the appellant level, so she explains appeal cases very well. Kimberley Atkins Stohr was a Supreme Court reporter and explains some of the interworking of the SCOTUS. Jill Wine-Banks was on the Watergate team and offers historical insight.

There's no missing context on the child tax credit vote that he didn't show up for. There's simply a difference between what Trump Republicans do versus what they say. For instance they say they support things like that child tax credit or immigration and border laws but they have convenient excuses for not actually voting for those things.
Trumps verbalized plans do increase costs for Americans. He says that he will cut other taxes to offset the cost of the tariffs but, of course, that's not supported by his previous actions. From the article;

Economists do expect it would raise prices on many goods. The Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, estimates it would reduce average incomes in the top 60% of earners by 1.8%. And the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a progressive advocacy group, has calculated that the higher tariffs would cost households an extra $3,900 a year.
Trump on the ACA from the article;

THE FACTS: Trump has repeatedly promised to replace former President Barack Obama's health care law with a plan of his own. For example, three years after a Congress fully controlled by Republicans failed to repeal "Obamacare" in 2017, Trump urged the Supreme Court to overturn it.
More recently, the Republican presidential nominee threatened to reopen the contentious fight.
Now in April he says something different because that idea hurts him with moderates and independents. You believe him even though his actions in this matter suggest that is foolish to trust and believe him.
Maybe you are confused about Trump's messaging during the beginnings of the pandemic. I'm not. I watched every one of those crazy briefings. I watched and listened to Trump say that and I watched the nonverbal communication of the scientists who tried to be respectful when the president said bat s#!+ crazy things about a dangerous pandemic.
Biden isn't running for reelection. Regardless, lots of people might remember an admonition or word of wisdom from a deceased loved one. Maybe you've never lost someone whose counsel you valued and miss when they die. That's just a weird fixation of Trump supporters when their guy thinks that Hannibal Lecter endorsed him and buried his ex wife on his golf course.

Snap out of it.
And Ivana's gravesite looks pretty shabby and unkempt now. Well, I guess he wanted to just keep her under the ground for cheap. Don't you ever get exhaused doing other people's homework?

Yes. Lots of people are tired of the Trump movement where facts are inconvenient and routinely ignored.

You really think Trump thinks that "Hannibal Lecter endorsed him and buried his ex wife"? Haha
Or maybe Biden is using his dead son as a protocol point? To make the lie more believable through manipulating emotions. Another method of propaganda. It's weird he would claim his dead son encourages him to speak about the lie about Trump.
Perhaps his change in preception is simular to Harris and her ethnicity. Exploit to pander when beneficial.
