New in PN: Trump’s love for Laura Loomer is disqualifying

"Her presence by Trump’s side underlines his fascism, poor judgement, and complete unfitness. No one prepared to listen to her should be elected to a water reclamation board, much less the presidency." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-loves-laura-loomer-but-why

New in PN: Texas comes for the right to interstate travel

"Texas is trying to nationalize its extreme abortion ban by violating the medical privacy of its own citizens and terrorizing out-of-state abortion providers into refusing to provide services." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/texas-medical-records-abortion

New in PN: Trump's racist pet hoax exposes weirdo meme culture to normies

“The story was thoroughly debunked even before the debate. But examining how it got laundered from the fringes of the internet to Trump’s lips perfectly illustrates the hollowness at the center of the Trump movement, and indeed in modern conservatism itself.” https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-haitian-pet-hoax-meme-debate-ohio

New in PN: JD Vance personifies the joylessness of MAGA

"Vance is a bad insult comic posing as VP nominee." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/jd-vance-flopping-comedy-schtick

New in PN: Trump's latest Putin apologia deserves more attention

Trump is upset that Ukrainian efforts to resist Russian aggression might be successful. It speaks to how he'd realign US foreign policy away from democracies and toward authoritarian strongmen. https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-ukrainian-incusion-putin-apologia

New in PN: The Biden-Harris administration is fighting to lower rents. Right now.

New in PN: Harris's campaign of joy resonates because it's a refreshing change from American Carnage

"While most resisted the clarion call of Trump cultism, we've yet to grapple with the full scope of the societal cost imposed by widespread reality denial" https://www.publicnotice.co/p/kamala-harris-campaign-of-joy-trump-carnage

New in PN: Elon Musk tries to dismantle the foundations of US democracy

From blatant election interference to ending the NLRB to trying to force companies to advertise on X, Musk is doing all kinds of damage — and so far he's getting away with it. https://www.publicnotice.co/p/elon-musk-election-interference-trump-nlrb

New in PN: Why Tim Walz's progressive support is great for Democrats

"In boosting Walz, progressives are doing that thing they are often accused of refusing to do — making a pragmatic political decision to embrace the good rather than the perfect" https://www.publicnotice.co/p/tim-walz-kamala-harris-progressive-support-dems

New in PN: Trump is trying to use the immunity ruling to blow up his criminal conviction. And thanks to the Supreme Court's right-wing nihilists, it just might work. https://www.publicnotice.co/p/how-scotus-immunity-impacts-trump-ny-conviction

New in PN: Where are Radical Republicans when we need them?

"History teaches that when democratic institutions face an existential threat, opposing it should be the sole focus. But large swaths of the US, including its elites, have forgotten that lesson" https://www.publicnotice.co/p/the-need-to-unite-against-trump-2024

New in PN: The phony populism of JD Vance

"Like his Republican brethren, and like Trump, his populism is paper thin; he views the working class with contempt and embraces policies that would entrench poverty and gut social mobility." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/jd-vance-phony-populism-trump

New in PN: The Kamala Harris hype is real

"We need more time to figure out exactly how the race has changed. But there are already a number of good reasons for optimism that she can beat Trump in November." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/kamala-harris-trump-2024-preview

New in PN: The GOP's legal challenges to Harris are bunk

"Mike Johnson hasn’t fleshed out a theory as to why no candidate other than Biden can appear on the ballot in any particular state. However, other Trump allies have already taken up the torch." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-legal-challenges-harris-candidacy-bunk

New in PN: Mike Johnson says the quiet part on Fox

"We've learned that when Trump’s fate is in the hands of ordinary people rather than right-wing cronies, he gets convicted. So no wonder Mike Johnson desperately wants SCOTUS to step in." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/mike-johnson-trump-conviction-scotus-appeal-fox

New in PN: Lincoln warned that if government policy "upon vital questions affecting the whole people… is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of SCOTUS… the people will have ceased to be their own rulers.”

It's like Abe was addressing the Roberts Court https://www.publicnotice.co/p/abraham-lincoln-warning-scotus-roberts-court

New in PN: From Mace to Sununu to Scott to McConnell, Republicans are crashing and burning during mainstream TV interviews for one simple reason — their support for Trump is obviously indefensible https://www.publicnotice.co/p/stephanopoulos-mace-sununu-gop-sunday-shows

New in PN: Simon Rosenberg on Trump the electoral albatross

“You can dye his hair, paint his face, strap a girdle and a diaper on him and pump him full of speed, and he’s still not going to look like a presidential candidate.” https://www.publicnotice.co/p/simon-rosenberg-interview-trump-biden-polling
