[ [link removed] ]The GOP’s IVF Flip-Flopping Shows It’s Caught in Its Own Trap
The hypocrisy Congressional Republicans have demonstrated lately seems to
have no limits. This new op-ed from People For president Svante Myrick
highlights the most recent example of Republicans publicly expressing
support for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and then blocking a bill in
Congress that would have protected it.
Clearly, nothing will stop Republicans from saying and doing whatever it
takes in a desperate attempt to appease their extremist base while trying
to appeal to the vast majority of the nation’s voters that oppose these
draconian assaults on our freedom. We’re not buying it – and neither will
voters.

[ [link removed] ]Five Ways Mitch McConnell Dramatically Impacted Our Courts
In late February, Sen. Mitch McConnell announced that he will step down
from his position as Republican leader later this year. McConnell has,
unfortunately, been one of the most consequential political figures of the
21st century. He set out to empower a ruthless political takeover of our
federal courts, and he didn’t let democratic norms, constitutional
principles, or ethical principles get in his way.
McConnell has shown that organizing around the courts can change them
dramatically. So as we prepare to turn the page on McConnell’s time as
Senate party leader, let’s review five ways that he changed our courts.

[ [link removed] ]OP-ED: The MAGA Enemies List Is Growing, and So Are the Odds That
You’re on It
I wonder how many Americans realize they are on Trump’s enemies list? And
I wonder if our collective response would be different if more people knew
they could be targeted and their lives upended.
To find out who’s targeted, all you have to do is refer to a 900-page
“Mandate for Leadership” produced for Project 2025, the effort led by the
right-wing Heritage Foundation and supported by almost 100
Trump-supporting groups. It’s a blueprint for the authoritarian Republican
administration they hope is coming next.
The project, “backed by a multimillion-dollar war chest,” has been
described as a plan that “would enable Trump to wield virtually unchecked
power over the executive branch of the federal government and allow him to
use it as a weapon against personal enemies, political opponents and the
media.”
And while it’s starting to get more attention, I’m surprised at how little
everyday Americans know about it — even in well-informed circles.

[ [link removed] ]Right Wing Watch: Radical Anti-LGBTQ Christian Nationalist Is Now the
GOP Nominee for Governor of North Carolina
Mark Robinson is an unabashed Christian nationalist and virulent
anti-LGBTQ bigot who has a long history of making offensive and
antisemitic comments. And after North Carolina’s GOP primary earlier this
month, he is now officially the party’s nominee for governor.
In 2020, Robinson was catapulted from relative obscurity to the lieutenant
governor’s office because, he says, he has been chosen by God to
“literally make war on the devil” and see that this nation is “led by the
people of God.” Robinson describes himself as “more preacher than
politician” who has to constantly remind himself that we live in a
constitutional republic, “not a theocracy.” And he is also an unabashed
authoritarian who has demanded that Christians get “warlike” in order to
defeat “the enemies of freedom” who are supposedly trying to destroy the
nation.

As we face a growing wave of authoritarianism and anti-democratic forces,
it has never been more critical to secure the future of our democracy and
the progressive values that are under attack by right-wing extremists. One
way to join this cause is through estate planning to protect the people
and things you love, safeguard your assets, and secure a brighter future
for our country.
Despite the value of planning, the process is often inaccessible,
overwhelming, and expensive — especially to historically disenfranchised
communities. That's why we are excited to announce our new partnership
with FreeWill so that our supporters can create their wills, and plan
their estates at NO cost to you.
