Democratic Leadership is fighting to protect and expand our Democratic Majority. We really hope you'll stick with us in this fight. But if you'd like to unsubscribe from our emails, please click here >> Daniel, My name is Dr. Mary L. Trump. I never needed political pundits or psychologists to tell me that my uncle Donald should never get anywhere near the Oval Office.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022, there has been considerable media attention and legal scrutiny of the health and life exceptions to state abortion bans. This may emerge as an election issue as Former President Trump has stated that he supports rape exceptions to abortion bans, but the 2024 Republican party platform says states should decide their own abortion laws " with no mention of exceptions. Really? That is really what you want? All Despite broad support for legal access to abortion in cases of rape or incest, 10 of the 21 states with abortion bans or gestational limits do not have an exception for pregnancies resulting from sexual assault. Christistian conservatives....is that what you really want?
Should a young girl have to carry and deliverher step-father's baby? And yes, this actually happens. Should she be required to obtain "parental consent" here in Florida?

"I have no idea who is behind it," the former president recently claimed on social media. Many people Trump knows quite well are behind it. Six of his former Cabinet secretaries helped write or collaborated on the 900-page playbook for a second Trump term published by the Heritage Foundation. Four individuals Trump nominated as ambassadors were also involved, along with several enforcers of his controversial immigration crackdown. And about 20 pages are credited to his first deputy chief of staff.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis isn't merely campaigning against a popular abortion-rights amendment set to appear on the November ballot: He is turning the organs of state government against it, making a mockery of the notion, enshrined in law, that there should be a firewall between governing and electoral politics. Florida's tinpot governor, whose political potency has been diminished by electoral loss and recent scandal, has abandoned persuasion in lieu of coercion. Attorney General Ashley Moody unsuccessfully fought to keep the amendment off the ballot entirely. A DeSantis-backed board of bureaucrats successfully dreamed up a bogus disclosure that will be attached to the proposed amendment warning voters that the restoration of abortion rights could somehow "negatively impact the state budget."

I am glad that sanctions are a much more effective way to deal with our enemies than many thought a decade ago. We all know the military power of the U.S.. is the greatest in the world but using it is not always helpful in situations involving other nuclear armed nations, . WAmericane need to use American economic power which is also the largest in the world to aid allies and punish aggressor nations who ignore International Law, as Putin has done by invading Ukraine. Russia still fights on in Putin's dream of resurrecting the Soviet Union but Russians must be feeling the costs of this war to satisfy one single man's goal. I don't know how this will all turn out but we do have recent history as a hint; the USSR collapsed from economic forces and the population demanding a new direction; I think the same thing is going to happen to Putin and hsolationists will join the isolationists of the past who made themselves anacronistic and irrelevant to the modern world. Hell, MAGA itself is the most backward looking poitical slogan in history.He'll be lucky if he doesn't hang but Russia, as we know it, is doomed. Ukraine demonstrated this year that they are capable of invading Russia; that spells defeat for Putin. Putin can no longer say he can protect Russia from ivasion.Russians will be ridding themselves of this tyrant sooner tha anyone expects.
In WWII if Germany or Japan had successfully invaded any part of America we would not have won that war. Great Britain fended off Germany when France could not. When a governmet can't defend a nation from invasion then that government becomes irrelevant. Putin is losing power and he will be ridiculed as weak; then he will die, one way or another. Ukraine will celebrate and become a powerful addition to NATO and ally of the United States United, like Great Britainfor may decades and the Republican isolationists will joim the irrelevant isolayionists of the past and Trump? If Puti falls Trump will be just a lonely, senile old man watching his world implode. And it cou;dn't happen to a nicer hater, racist, homophobic wannabe dictator!

When did Republicans begin their descent into irrelevancy?

When American leaders started started down the conservative Christian road they were doing the same thing Rrump tried to do; they were trying to lead us back to the future.
So far, none of these MAGAmorons have ever said which year in the past was so great that we would want to return to it. I'm still waiting for them to name the year but they necer seem to have one in mind. So, in reality, MAGA is just bull crap that millions of angry white folks believe because it maes them thik they can turn the clock back to the era of white privelege. Just think how many more white baseball stars there could have been if those damned black folks would have just stayed in their own league!
