Thank you, and to be clear I totally agree with you, this needs to be shouted from the rooftops as a central part of his and many other democrats campaign
The house did pass a bill codifying Roe v Wade with Biden's support during his first two years when dems still controlled the house. Biden tried to get the senate to overturn the filibuster to get the bill through. The first president to support overturning the filibuster for something in over 100 years to the best of my knowledge (I think Wilson was the last one to make an attack on the filibuster, but that was just to get it to our present day rules from an even worse version). And I already linked many active ways his administration has supported abortion rights and reproductive rights more generally throughout the first term. Sorry but I don't think there's any point in continuing the discussion any longer, because I think your mind is made up and no matter what I point out the goal posts will be shifted again.
Did you look at any of the links? That's exactly what he said, multiple times in the past, and continues to do so, like in the state of the union... I linked tons of things his administration has done over multiple years, endorsements of his policies and budgets from abortion right groups for multiple years. I don't know what else I can tell you, I don't know how he could be any more clear in his statements.
“If Americans send me a Congress that supports the right to choose, I promise you: I will restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again,” the president said, with Supreme Court justices in attendance for this address to Congress.
So I guess grab ten friends who aren't registered and get to voting.
It is not hard to find tons of unequivocal statements of support, approval from major organizations like planned parenthood themselves of his policies and budgets, and many different executive department orders and initiatives begining early in his term. I agree with you he and democrats should continue to hammer that though, I'm just confused by comments acting like Biden hasn't expressed his support for abortion rights many times already, in both actions and words. He immediately took actions to help Planned Parenthood back in 2021 as some of the first things he did in office. Guess the dems just need better messengers if people are really missing all of this. But did any of you even watch the state of the union? He hammered on this pretty hard.

“I believe that a woman’s right to choose is fundamental, Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned,” Biden said

“Her own life and ability to have children in the future were at risk,” Biden said. “It’s happening to too many others.” He warned that many Republicans in the room were promising voters that they would pass a national abortion ban. “My God what freedom else will you take away?” Biden said
“We’ll continue to fight to protect access to reproductive health care and we urge Congress to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law,” Biden continued.

While more funding is urgently needed to fully support sexual and reproductive health care across the country and around the world, this budget is a strong indicator of the administration’s priorities

Sorry, from the article
Here's a link to the gameplay reveal so people can see what you're talking about:
https://youtu.be/CTNwHShylIg?si=ebVtoc-xD7eVMOjX
The art style and tone looks much better in this than the weird trailer, but the gameplay looks closer to like mass effect 2 than dragon age origins. Probably gonna skip this one.

For anyone curious. I mean I disagree with these ridiculous overlay broad second amendment interpretations personally, but looks like he has an appeal argument based on how the courts have been treating the second amendment lately. I look forward to the mental gymnastics of the second amendment extremists on this case. Seeing marijuana spelled "marihuana" over and over in the ruling above is also pretty funny.
Context, the statement is saying technically the agreement was made with Hamas leaders outside of Gaza. Doesn't sound like they're in contact with the leaders actually still in Gaza. So if the proposal stalls it's on them (Hamas currently inside Gaza, as opposed to their outside leadership who have agreed). At least that's how I would read it with the context. There wasn't anything in that statement to suggest he was talking about if Israel rejects the ceasefire it would be Hamas's fault, that doesn't even make sense.
Blinken said the Hamas statement was "a hopeful sign" but definitive word was still needed from the Hamas leadership inside Israeli-besieged Gaza. "That's what counts, and that's what we don't have yet."
Millions even, we haven't been this warm in millions of years! And same for our co2 concentrations. All done in the blink of an eye geologically speaking. We've reversed a natural Co2 trend in only 0.004% of the time!
The commenter above you and anyone in doubt desperately needs to see these graphs:
https://earth.org/data_visualization/a-brief-history-of-co2/
If we follow projections and do nothing to change our behavior we'll get to levels and temperatures not seen in hundreds of millions of years, all bascially instantly when compared to the the ability of life to evolve and adapt. Earth will survive, it's been through worse. Gonna be rough on the humans though. We were 10c temperature above where we were then, but it would be even worse now of we got back to those co2 levels, becaue of differences in orbit and solar activity.
FTA:
At first blush, Ms. Lindenbaum would seem a surprising apostate for the left. She once marched with Code Pink, the left-wing antiwar group, and later served as a top lawyer for Stacey Abrams, the progressive former candidate for Georgia governor, and her voting-rights group.
“She came from the progressive community, so I think everyone was caught by surprise,” said Craig Holman, a lobbyist for Public Citizen, a consumer-advocacy group.
Pretty surprising, wasn't like some staffer for a more conservative dem or something, all public indicators were pointing to a progressive person. She also had the support of Bernie Sanders and other progressives, so the people in this comment thread implying omg Biden snuck a conservative onto the FEC are seriously misguided here or didn't read the article.
Usually the people screaming what about China also forget that per capita the US is still producing more greenhouses gases, and that much of the greenhouse gases emitted in China are to manufacture things used in other countries or arguments about historical emissions burden.
China has work to do too, but per capita there are a whole bunch of countries that emit more per capita.
US is at 256% global average emissions per capita, China is at 157% global average. So China is still above average, but not as bad as the US, Russia, Australia, Canada, or many Middle eastern countries right now. Though also should be noted the US is on an improving trend whereas China is on a worsening trend, though looks like hopefully China may be reversing this trend soon, they seem to be at least plateauing.

The article is misleadingly framed by implying 58% being historically bad (though they avoid mentioning any historical comparisons in the article to avoid outright lying). Unfortunately 58% is a historically good number for this. It was as high as 78% in 2017. Also check out the very well sourced other comment on this article with this number for many more years. 58% seems historically one of the best results ever recorded.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/americans-living-paycheck-to-paycheck/
Not that we shouldn't push for it to be even better, 58% is still not a good number in absolute terms in my opinion, but the article is being very misleading when it portrays this as some unheard of worsening catastrophe.
Alito made these remarks in conversation at the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner on June 3, a function that is known to right-wing activists as an opportunity to buttonhole Supreme Court justices. His comments were recorded by Lauren Windsor, a liberal documentary filmmaker. Windsor attended the dinner as a dues-paying member of the society under her real name, along with a colleague. She asked questions of the justice as though she were a religious conservative.
Great reporting job by Lauren Windsor.
Well there are evaporator fans in modern refrigerators in the US. They serve an important role though helping with defrosting, improving cooling efficiency, and evenness of cooling throughout the fridge.
https://refrigeratorguide.net/maximize-cooling-efficiency-best-refrigerator-evaporator/
Usually only very small refrigerators are without them now.
It is another point of failure though, but should be pretty easily repairable. I mean it'll still be able to cool without the fan, but it'll be running much more to try and compensate and keep things cool though.
If you know the YouTube channel technology connections, here's a fun video of him messing around with a fanless style refrigerator:
Will use 4x as much electricity though, ugh.

Anyone know of any refrigerators today that are as durable as older ones and have today's efficiencies, but without the smart features and other junk?
Average refrigerator today still lasts 13 years though, and while they're made cheaply they also are cheaper (at least as a portion percentage of the average paycheck).

Roughly 100 officers have been decertified since 2023.
The article is just framing this whole thing bizarrely so that OJ Simpson is in the headline to get more clicks. Looks like with the new law they're just going through and decertifying any police officer, past or present, that meets certain criteria. He hasn't been a police officer since 1995. This law was passed in 2021.
Geeze dude, half of the shit in there is out of Trump's own mouth. The first quote I listed was from the interview you posted! From Sean Hannity! If you're not just a troll, you really need to take a step back and at least listen to some of the things your own god king is saying.
And yeah I'll be sure not to vote for Hunter Biden or his laptop for president, thanks.
The rules, issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, call for improvements over a five-year span starting with 2027 models
So they did exactly what you suggested. We also have current rules in place that are increasing fuel efficiency over time. It's not just nothing and then meet this standard by 2031, it's improving by 2% per year, every year, starting in 2027 (the beginning of the time period for the newest set of rules). The article posted is just very light on details. The article is just quoting where they would be at, in 2031, with those yearly goals. So current rules are that cars be at 55 mpg by 2027, and the new rules rate beginning that year, would be 56 in 2028 etc until at 61 mpg for cars in 2032 (and 45 mpg for light trucks)
https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/new-fuel-economy-standards-model-years-2027-2031
10% yearly increases for heavy trucks and vans as well.
Light trucks aren't exempt, but have a different standard. The article posted lacks a lot of detail. First off, 50 mpg is just the expected average given the mix of "light trucks" and cars. The actual standards are 65 mpg for cars and 45 mpg for "light trucks."
The new standards require American automakers to increase fuel economy so that, across their product lines, their passenger cars would average 65 miles per gallon by 2031, up from 48.7 miles today. The average mileage for light trucks, including pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, would have to reach 45 miles per gallon, up from 35.1 miles per gallon.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/07/climate/biden-mileage-electric-vehicles.html
So actually the light truck standard isn't far off of the 50 mpg figure this article inexplicably comes up with even though that's not the standard for either cars or light trucks under the new rules.
Heavy trucks and vans also are included in the policy with a greater percent increase than for cars and light trucks (though beginning from a lower floor).
Holy crap you're awesome! A president supportive of abortion rights isn't a guarantee of getting something through, but it's definitely a whole lot easier than trying to get something through with a president that doesn't support them.
