  1. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriages before Roe vs Wade these women often died. They are dying again. Thank you for highlighting this.

  2. 1% of abortions occur after 21 weeks in America and they are the most heart breaking moments in the world because of the intense loss and grief. My friend lost the heartbeat at 8 months. She had a dead foetus inside her. She would have died of sepsis otherwise. She had what is considered an abortion. They cut the membrane. She vaginally gave birth to a dead child. The cruelty of suggesting that such a woman is using abortion as birth control. It's just not happening. Third trimester abortions are very rare, to save the mother or another foetus or because foetal anomalies mean a stillbirth is inevitable. I had another friend who had an ectopic pregnancy. The foetus was developing in her oviduct and not her uterus. She would have painfully died without an abortion. When you are sitting with someone bleeding out and the blood is gushing out of them it is overwhelming and terrifying. Abortion care is required to save the parent's life. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriages before Roe vs Wade these women often died. Abortion care is required to save their lives. The lie of post birth abortions is a Republican talking point which came from an interview with a paediatrician who talked of a baby being born without a skull and who would be given pain relief for the few hours that they lived. If a child is born, without most of their brain, or a damaged heart or with a foetal anomaly and has only a few hours to live. It is compassionate to give pain relief but that is not the same as killing the child. Rich white women will always be able to obtain abortion care. Before Roe vs Wade was overturned America already had the worst maternal death rate in the OECD for Black women. It is First Nations, Queer, poor white, immigrant, Latina, refugee women who will die from a lack of abortion care. 64,000 pregnancies resulting from rapes have occurred in the red states that have abortion bans. Girls or women should not have to give birth to their rapist's babies. They should not have to justify their choice to have an abortion. Great show as always!

  3. The NYT has done 196 negative articles on Biden's "mental decline" vs 6-10 negative articles on Trump's "mental decline". Media bias has been a significant factor in perceptions of Biden. David Cay Johnson has been talking about this in podcasts. VP selections need to roam past the guest's friendliness with potential candidates.

  8.  @ThatRedhedd I would suggest 21 weeks. Before 21 weeks there are so many miscarriages. We can't let these women die like they did before Roe vs Wade. 1% of abortions occur after 21 weeks in America are when the foetus dies, does not have an organ such as a brain, one foetus dies and the twin needs saving or to save the life of the mother. These situations need to be dealt with by the doctor and the patient. The trauma of losing you hoped for child is high. Doctors end up dealing with suicidal patients at times. Politicians who do not understand the dangers and biology of pregnancies are not useful or appropriate in these circumstances. In fact their ignorance and misinformation means it becomes more dangerous to become pregnant. Maternal deaths have risen 54% in Texas since abortion bans were put in place.

  11. Before Roe was overturned Black maternals deaths were the highest in the OECD. White maternal deaths have risen 95% in Texas since abortion bans came into effect. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriages. Before Roe these women often died. They are dying again.

  24. Voter suppression and racial gerrymandering are preventing many from voting. You need to look at and cover this. 66.2 % of Americans can't get $500 together for a medical emergency. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. Taking a shift off means their kids won't eat. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 1 in 3 of these are reading and writing at an 8 year old level. This means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking. They do not understand who Murdoch is or what he owns. 800 Americans die from poverty each day. You all might be interested in the Poor People's Campaign? They are a huge non voting block.

  25. Maye Musk is worth $45 million dollars. She never looked after her children without servants. She is creating a fictional story about being working class. If you work hard you can become rich. Leaving out that you have to be rich and work hard to be richer.

  28. Alyssa three women are killed each and every day in America by their husbands or partner! The killing happens every day and you are upset about one CEO? The mass shootings happen every day. It is way too late to worry about men being empowered to kill others for notoriety. Research shows that is one aspect of why mass shootings happen frequently.
    2
  29. That has already happened. A whole group of women did sue because what was defined as life threatening was too vague, as their doctors were too scared to treat them. They court said no it wasn't and tossed it out.

  33. Trump's aim is to get Lone Wolf violence. He started his campaign in Waco and ended it with a Nazi rally. Everything he's done is for white supremacists, Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, white genocide theorists, Nazis and all their friends. Trump is going for violence.
    1
  34. Harris walked off the rally stage after introducing Tim Walz and was being interviewed 15 minutes later. She answers questions from journalists each time she gets on and off her plane. Legacy media is not covering her engagement with the media because they believe Harris owes their billionaire media owners ratings so that they make more money. Legacy media are making themselves the story to remain relevant. Harris is engaging in social media in ways that those who are not Millennials or Gen Z don't understand. You can't buy that type of connection, engagement media.

  35. Fani Willis didn't appoint someone who she had a prior relationship. It began afterwards. She had to leave her home due to racist death threats. She has to have 24/7 protection. She said that she has never heard the "N" word so often. Joy Reid has been covering this. White journalists seem to miss salient details. A rich, powerful white man or woman wouldn't have her experiences. You are missing some important points.

  36. There needs to be a lot more preparation for this eventuality.

  37. Republican abortion policy comes from Republican talking points and lies that twisted discussion by a paediatrician about babies who are born, dying, with maybe a few hours or days to live, receiving pain relief & palliative care as being 'late term abortions' or' post birth abortions'. It's just not happening. Giving birth vaginally to a dead baby is just so traumatic. This lie that late term abortions are used for contraception hurts women who lose the heartbeat. Pretending that this is real is heinous. Once the foetus has died, the mother will die of sepsis without an abortion. That is why maternal death rates are rising, in Texas it was a 56% rise!

  40. Brilliant comment! Please don't use the term pro life. It's not pro life it's anti choice. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriages before Roe vs Wade these women often died. 64,000 pregnancies resulting from rapes have occurred in the red states that have abortion bans post-Roe vs Wade. Only a handful of abortions were accessed. Imagine if you could not travel. Rich women will always get reproductive health care. Black women have the highest maternal death rate in the OECD before Roe vs Wade. It's anti choice because poor white, Black, Hispanic and immigrant women won't get to choose to live if they have an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.

  44. "Post birth abortions" is Republican lies. They twisted a paediatrician talking about how when a baby is born who will die in a few hours or days, to be treated with pain relief and palliative care. They twisted this into late term and post birth abortion. It is a lie!

  45. This is reality of where we are now. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriages. Women have been jailed for having miscarriages and they are talking about using the death penalty on women who attempt to have abortions. Even women who have had a normal spontaneous abortions have been been subject legal processes and denied treatments and died. White maternal deaths have risen 95% in Texas since the abortion bans have come in.
    1
  46. Biologically they can't tell between a spontaneous abortion and medication abortion. (1 in 4 pregnancies end in a miscarriage. 25% of all pregnancies will end in miscarriages).

  47. You are so right. Abortion care saves women are dying from miscarriages, stillbirths, ectopic pregnancies, sepsis and having dead foetuses in them. Obstetricians have left red states that have abortion bans because they can't keep their patients alive.

  49. ​ @lorenzor124 Trump was the one obsessing about racism and sexism. White maternal deaths have risen 95 per cent in Texas since the abortion bans came in to effect. Not addressing sexism and racism means women's deaths.

  52. Musk has received over 20 billion of dollars in American taxpayers money and subsidies. Elon Musk spent $44 billion dollars to purchase Twitter in order to buy the election for Trump. He will get his moneys worth. He will raid the cookie jar.

  53. That's a lot of reasons to consider why folks didn't vote or didn't understand Trump. 66.2% of Americans can't get $500 together for an emergency. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. Time poor. They can not take a shift off to vote. Kids won't eat. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 1 in 3 of these are reading and writing at a an 8 year old level. This his means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking. The corporate media sanewashed Trump. They didn't have the skills to see through that. Both Republicans and Democrats conspired to use Poverty as a Policy Choice for the last 40 years. That's no living wage for 40 years. Folks gave up. The poor don't turn out to vote. Voter suppression and racial gerrymandering by the Republicans make it impossible for many Americans to vote. Some people signed up to assist getting abortion on the ballot and got visited by the police. A lot of people don't understand what is going on.

  58. Cenk Uygur explicitly said she only got the VP because of identify politics and the host of that podcast agreed. (I wrote a letter of complaint.) And there's been a "not that Black woman" chorus as a presidential candidate throughout "Pod Save America" and "The Bulwark". She is not "electable" has been discussed widely. White Democrats have been explicity and constantly racist against Kamala Harris, and it has been making me furious these last two weeks since the debate. Democrats are all talking about how they can jump over Harris and then choose a "good" candidate to run for president. The discussion has circled around that unlike other Vice Presidents, Harris could not expect to be a presidental candidate, as she is not "electable".

  66. No children are being murdered. That is a Republican talking point and lie. Less than 1% of abortions occur after 20 weeks to save the life of the mother or if the foetus has died or have serious complications. In fact in the states where abortion bans have come into effect infant mortality rates have increased. If you have twins and one has no brain, if you don't remove it immediately then the other twin will die. The delay in treatment, waiting until there is no heartbeat means both twins die. Often in these cases the mother will die as well. White maternal death rates have increased 95% since abortion bans have come into effect in Texas. Overall maternal death rates have increased 56% in states with abortion bans.

  70.  @TheSapphireSprit You are right to be excited and energised by Harris! She is brat! Look at how well Biden managed this. He announced that he was was stepping down and handing over to Harris, after Trump chose his VP, and Biden flatlined their expected poll bumps after the RNC. Brilliant strategy! Harris has hit the ground running as a Presidental candidate before the media had any idea. She has it totally in hand. I bet Biden is delighted. AOC said that they were trying to get rid of both Biden and Harris, but he hung on for the most strategic moment. She is amazingly confident, prepared and organised. The media will be unfair to Kamala Harris as they were to Joe Biden, but I don't think it will have an impact. I agree Harris is extraordinarily qualified for the position. She's got amazing connections in multiple communities. You are right she will be the first woman president!

  75. What you get when there are no teachers is you have 60% of Americans who read at a 6th Grade level. That means that they haven't developed beyond concrete thinking and do not engage in abstract thinking so they have not progressed to critical thinking. They don't know who Murdoch is or what he owns. David Cay Johnston discusses this at the end of a podcast he was on recently. This could be be related to 60% of Americans being unable to get $500 together for an emergency. If you are working 2 or 3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for your children. You are not really living in a democracy.

  76. ​ @Fourleggedfreak Often child marriage allowed the girl to be married to her rapist. It enabled a man to avoid rape charges. There is an amazing book written about it. See below. Nicholas L. Syrett wrote "American Child Bride: A History of Minors and Marriage in the United States" Most in the United States likely associate the concept of the child bride with the mores and practices of the distant past. But Nicholas L. Syrett challenges this assumption in his sweeping and sometimes shocking history of youthful marriage in America. Focusing on young women and girls--the most common underage spouses--Syrett tracks the marital history of American minors from the colonial period to the present, chronicling the debates and moral panics related to these unions. Although the frequency of child marriages has declined since the early twentieth century, Syrett reveals that the practice was historically far more widespread in the United States than is commonly thought. It also continues to this day: current estimates indicate that 9 percent of living American women were married before turning eighteen. By examining the legal and social forces that have worked to curtail early marriage in America--including the efforts of women's rights activists, advocates for children's rights, and social workers--Syrett sheds new light on the American public's perceptions of young people marrying and the ways that individuals and communities challenged the complex legalities and cultural norms brought to the fore when underage citizens, by choice or coercion, became husband and wife.

Republicans have engaged in voter suppression and racial gerrymandering for decades. Many people couldn't access voting.

  89. Both Republicans and Democrats conspired to use "Poverty as a Policy Choice", this is "The Deep State" that many rightly want to destroy. Americans are so stressed, frustrated, and angry. They are so outraged that they have a desperate need for someone to be punished even if it ends up being themselves. As Michael Moore said voting for Trump was the biggest '"F@ck you" in American history"'. Wealth equality is profound and visceral issue for so many. There is Intergenerational despair, anger and rage. Two people have more wealth than the bottom 60% of Americans. 60% of Americans live pay check to pay check. They cannot get $500 together for an emergency. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and/or buy food for their children. Then they have to "volunteer" to get food stamps. They muffle their grief watch family and friends die for a lack of medical treatment. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level this means that they haven't progressed from concrete thinking to abstract thinking. This means that they haven't got critical thinking skills. They have, however, a well developed sense of injustice and if voting for Trump upsets those who have kept the gates closed from them having a living wage, then they want the scapegoats to be someone other than themselves. Let those with money, access and a platform start to feel the stress that permeates every facet of their lives. A living wage from one job and access to health care would have prevented the rise of Trump. Not scapegoating poor people would have prevented the rise of Trump. Democrats and Republicans conspiring to keep Americans poor using "Poverty as a Policy Choice" rightfully brought rage, anger and despair that had to be answered in some way, Democrats and Republicans brought this on America.
