"Robert Kagan, who resigned from his position [as editor at large at Washington Post] on Friday after more than two decades at the publication, told the Daily Beast that Trump’s meeting with executives of Bezos’ Blue Origin space company the same day that the Amazon founder killed a plan to support Harris was proof of the backroom deal."

“'Trump waited to make sure that Bezos did what he said he was going to do, and then met with the Blue Origin people,' he said on Saturday. 'Which tells us that there was an actual deal made, meaning that Bezos communicated, or through his people, communicated directly with Trump, and they set up this quid pro quo.'”

“He’s been clear– he does not support a federal abortion ban,” an ad from the group #lies, despite #Trump's refusal to commit to vetoing a #NationalAbortionBan.

Tenuous claims on Trump’s #abortion positions aside, the group is also using Justice #RuthBaderGinsburg’s name & likeness without permission from her family.

“The #RBG PAC has no connection to the Ginsburg family & is an affront to my late grandmother’s legacy,” #AbortionRights attorney & #RuthBaderGinsburg’s granddaughter Clara Spera said in a statement to the NYT. “The use of her name & image to support Donald #Trump’s re-election campaign, & specifically to suggest that she would approve of his position on #abortion, is nothing short of appalling.”

#RuthBaderGinsburg herself publicly denounced #Trump in an interview w/the NYT prior to his first term.

“I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president," she said at the time. "For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that."

#Trump installed 3 *conservative* justices to #SCOTUS during his time in office, replacing #RuthBaderGinsburg as well as Antonin Scalia & Anthony Kennedy. That swing toward a conservative 6-3 majority led directly to the axing of nationwide #AbortionRights established in #RoeVWade. He has also said he will vote against a ballot measure in his home state of Florida that would enshrine #abortion protections in the state constitution.

#Trump’s campaign has sought to toe the line on #abortion policy, aiming to appease his #religious #fundamentalist base while simultaneously duping pro-choice voters, while #KamalaHarris has hit Trump hard on abortion, a key issue for voters.

The group…called #RBG PAC…came into existence only days ago, & began to spend $20M on Fri in support of #Trump, acc/to federal records. The group posted 2 #abortion-themed ads focused on the #TrumpLies that he would oppose a federal #AbortionBan.

The group’s paperwork was signed by #MayMailman, who worked in the WH & who is now the director of the *Independent Women’s* Law Center. She did not respond to a request for comment Fri.

No, #Biden didn't take FEMA relief money to use on migrants — but #Trump did.

"Even though Trump was once president, he still appears to have little clue about the appropriations process. What's even richer is that when he was president, he did exactly what he claims Biden did — take money from FEMA’s disaster fund to fund migrant programs at the southern border." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/04/no-biden-didnt-take-fema-relief-money-use-migrants-trump-did/

That’s because in the next 3 months, the justices may be asked to inject themselves into the late stages of the #2024election. If presented w/such an opportunity, this could be the term that #SCOTUS elects Donald #Trump.

4 yrs ago, Trump & his allies attempted to overturn his 2020 loss from the WH, while his allies controlled legislatures in the critical states of PA, WI, AZ, & GA, as well as key institutions like the #Wisconsin#SupremeCourt.

#Trump’s #coup failed not because he & his allies lacked #power, but because President Joe #Biden’s margin of victory was big enough that some allies—including his own AG & most #Senate#Republicans—refused to use that power to illegally keep Trump in office. This year, Trump does not hold as many levers of power. But a faction of his political coalition, the #GOP-appointed 6-3 majority on #SCOTUS, controls one of the most important.

Are You Ready for Another Bush v. Gore?
#SCOTUS Is.

How #Trump could win, thanks to just 5 votes.

The #SupremeCourt will begin a new term on Monday, in which it is set to hear pivotal cases about #transgender rights, our #environment, & #GunViolence. But the term’s biggest blockbuster could be a case that not only hasn’t yet been filed, but is still just a concept.
