The current grand dame of Democratic politics, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, still has it. She rapidly enumerated the achievements of Democrats in office during the Biden/Harris administration.
She remembered Tim Walz as a member of Congress and describes his time there.
"Let us not forget who assaulted democracy on January 6. But let us not forget who saved democracy on that day--we did."
In this election we are called to reject autocracy and choose democracy.

Go, Sen. Tami Duckworth, Senator from Illinois!
We love her and her story.
"We'll send a message to old cadet bone spurs! Stay out of our doctors' offices and, while you're at it, out of the Oval Office too!"

  The MAGA Plan to End Free Weather Reports
  
  from Zoë Schlanger
  
  Project 2025 would all but dissolve the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
2. NOAA “should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories,” Project 2025 reads. The proposals roughly amount to two main avenues of attack. First, it suggests that the NWS should eliminate its public- facing forecasts, focus on data gathering, and otherwise “fully commercialize its forecasting operations,” which the authors of the plan imply will improve, not limit, forecasts for all Americans. Then, NOAA’s scientific-research arm, which studies things such as Arctic-ice dynamics and how greenhouse gases behave (and which the document calls “the source of much of NOAA’s climate alarmism”), should be aggressively shrunk. “The preponderance of its climate-change research should be disbanded,” the document says. It further notes that scientific agencies such as NOAA are “vulnerable to obstructionism of an Administration’s aims,” so appointees should be screened to ensure that their views are “wholly in sync” with the president’s.

Historic day.
Former President Donald J. Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in furtherance of crimes, as part of a conspiracy to defraud the American people, to keep damaging information about his candidacy for President hidden during his 2016 campaign.
He was indicted by a grand jury and found guilty by a jury of New York citizens.
His conviction took place through the process of American Rule of Law.

Preventing women in emergency situations from getting the healthcare they need to save their lives due to disinterested parties' non-medical opinions feels like a reduction in human rights for women.
Allow women and their doctors make medical decisions regarding their health--not a state legislature, AG, or court system.
This case becomes more disturbing by the day.
