This is a lie. If he cared about these issues, we’d have court reform and a legislative stopgap by now. Instead we have the white supremacist court that has always acutely served the discreet interests of white supremacist men like him, and no one else.
We’re going to stand up for the women of America. We’re going to protect contraception and IVF. And we are going to restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land.

Ratification-era prestige media: “Outside the self-selected echo chamber of Federalist readers & Madison fanboys, most Americans don’t care about ‘forming a more perfect union.’ They want gov’t to deal with real issues, like the corn yield & whether their neighbor is a witch.”

this one guy I follow loves posting shirtless gym selfies but I have 0.0 interest in him other than his funny tweets. This is the 2020s version of reading playboy for the articles

For a guy who’s so obsessed with traditional gender constructions Josh Hawley sure does go for Botox 9 days a week … no man over 28 has a forehead this smooth without serious intervention
