“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith. I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.

When President Biden took part in a Zoom call with lawmakers from the Congressional Progressive Caucus last weekend, an aide passed him a note that read, “Stay positive.

Biden’s anger spills out as Democrats weigh his future

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected. Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.

More than 1,400 Black women leaders and allies told the Democratic Party in a letter on Wednesday that their support for President Joe Biden will not waver despite the crescendo of Dems calling for him to drop out. Democratic heavy-hitters like Carol Moseley Braun–the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Senate–Keisha Lance Bottoms, the former mayor of Atlanta, signed the letter. They reminded Democrats that their support is key, as Black women are the most consistent block of Democratic voters. The letter condemns calls from Dem detractors that think Biden should withdraw after his presidential debate performance and the series of gaffe-filled interviews the president’s campaign scheduled afterwards to clean up his slipping poll numbers. This week alone, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA.) became the most high-profile Democrat to ask Biden to drop out while reports surfaced that Barack Obama, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are encouraging him to bow out to preserve Democrats seats further down the ballot.Read it at The HillRead more at The Daily Beast.
