I remember when Texas bill SB8 passed almost a year before the Dobbs decision, that women like Kate cox would be denied life saving medical care in the name of “life.” I take no pleasure in being right. The case of Kate cox proves definitively that abortion is healthcare. Republican politicians have made it clear that they think they know more than doctors when it comes to women’s healthcare

Image Republicans made a guy who dresses like Paul Ryan but acts like Sidney Powell their Speaker. Perhaps this will delight deep red MAGA types, but more mainstream voters may be turned off by a political leader who says, “Go pick up a Bible….

I wrote about how the Biden administration is getting a lot done and not getting a lot of coverage of it

vanityfair.com/news/2023/09/j…
Image The problem for Team Biden is that its superpower, its ability to slide under the radar while getting a lot done for the American people, may also be its Achilles heel, holding back the administration from getting the credit it deserves.

“In the 1990s, syndicated columnist Cal Thomas wrote that the GOP “no longer identified as a party of ideas”; he was among many conservative pundits who lamented the end of the Reagan years. It’s more than 30 years later, and I would argue that Thomas …” vanityfair.com/news/2023/04/r… The Republican Party long dreamed of overturning Roe, and last June, a conservative-majority Supreme Court was finally able to achieve it. The results were dystopian: women driving for hours and sleeping in their cars, doctors refusing to treat them.

I wrote about how much the GOP loves losing in ⁦@VanityFair⁩ vanityfair.com/news/2023/04/t… The GOP turned three Tennessee Democrats into celebrities, the unpopular antiabortion crackdown is still in full force, and the party is rallying around an indicted Donald Trump. What politically disastrous decision will Republicans make next?

The lesson from Silicon Valley Bank, and from Norfolk Southern is that you can’t trust any of these companies to regulate themselves.
