Dems need to improve their messaging. Rather than just focusing on abortion by using the “not even in cases of incest and rape” make sure that people know that there are several women and girls that have been denied live-saving medications because one of the uses is for abortion. 14 year old girl couldn’t get a prescription filled for rheumatoid arthritis is just ONE example. There are pharmacists that refuse to dispense birth control pills because of “religious beliefs” regardless of the reasons for the prescriptions (e.g. ovarian cysts, endometriosis). Start spreading the word about the number of Repubs that want to allow states to ban birth control – this includes Clarence Thomas and Marsha Blackburn. Point out the statistics from WI when the Repubs blocked Medicaid coverage for BC, the number of abortions went UP when it had been going down for many years.
Change the focus of no-cash bail to point out the costs of detaining non-vi9olent criminals (and repeat “non-violent” over and over) especially for things like shoplifting which is often done because of desperation. Show the history of minorities being incarcerated more, demonstrate the case loads of public defenders that encourage people to plead guilty and even if not incarcerated they lose their right to vote, and contrast that with Repubs like Trump, Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Denis Hastert that drag cases out forever because they have the money and lawyers.
Look at the people in Florida that DeSantis is going after because they’d completed their sentences but the law is VERY confusing – people voted to allow those who have completed their time to return to voting but Repubs in Florida have made changes to confuse the laws like adding “pay all restitution”. Contrast that with someone like Massey mine CEO Blankenship that was responsible for the deaths of 29 minors. He had a short sentence and ran for office while still on parole.
Only because Americans are too stupid to recognize everything Biden’s done for them, fixating on the price of gas instead. That’s why the Republicans are going to be back in charge. What a debacle that will be!

Jill is very willing to help and so is Pete. Use them, use them, use them.

Phil is missing the mark by a lot here. Biden’s been on the campaign trail more or less continuously… at least in the last week or two.

With Oz, Dog Walker, GED Barbie, and the rest, who needs help? The QOP is doing it for the Democrats.

Remembering two years ago when GOP candidates were begging the Cheeto to stay away from them.

Mr. Phil doesn’t understand Democrats don’t need to rely on endorsements like the Republicans do.

He should have put in some crickets and their noises to really dress it up.
