Women being tortured.

That’s the plan #Republicans are supporting nationwide. A vote for the GOP is a vote to torture women.

"The Washington Post and the New York Times both have done important reporting in recent days about what Donald Trump would be likely to do if he’s elected president again.

Because I think it’s so important for every American citizen to be fully aware of these revelations, I’m providing gift versions of three articles. This means you can read them without running into the Times or Post paywalls."

"Let's not overcomplicate this:
Republicans passed a $2 trillion tax cut for billionaires and corporations.
And now they're refusing to pay for it.
It's really that simple. " Rep Adam Schiff

I'm so old I remember Republicans pushing out a completely made-up story about pres Clinton holding up air traffic at LAX so he could get a $500 haircut and the media fell for it and much of the public still believes it was true.

That's how smears work.

👇🏼Via @emptywheel:

The Republican Party has become a criminal protection racket, and only Asa Hutchinson (and a wishy washy Chris Christie who helped it GET where it is) wants to take it back.

Folks: We actually don't KNOW whether the GOP is a dying party or a rising single party of an authoritarian state.

Unless and until the traditional press presents those as the stakes, it is very much unclear which it'll end up being.

This week's comic: The things Mike Johnson has said are so over the top that I thought I might place him in the role of my flaming conservative character (hence the flames, in case anyone was wondering about that). It’s almost impossible to exaggerate this man’s theocratic worldview, so I tried to use actual quotes where I could.

Impressive work by @stevanzetti ... many folks have noticed the right-wing takeover of school boards, but Steven dug deep to uncover the people funding that takeover and mapped out the complex web of connections between lobbyists, PACs and #Texas schools: https://www.texasobserver.org/school-board-pacs-consultants-right-wing/

She Campaigned for a #Texas School Board Seat as a #GOP Hard-Liner. Now She’s Rejecting Her Party’s Extremism.

Courtney Gore, a Granbury ISD school board member, has disavowed the far-right platform she campaigned on after finding no evidence that #students were being indoctrinated by the district’s curriculum. Her defiance has brought her backlash.

Via Magdi Jacobs:

are shifting their anti-immigrant rhetoric into wartime rhetoric. They are using more language indicating an "invasion" that is a threat to America itself. They are also increasingly calling immigrants "terrorists." This has all existed before, but it is getting worse

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: "This is an invasion from third world countries. They're coming here with health issues, they're uneducated, unemployed, and all they do is commit crime on the streets"
