Polls show support for a federal right to abortion

“In an eye-popping new Kaiser Family Foundation poll of 3,901 reproductive-age women, 74% opposed leaving abortion up to the states — including 53% of the Republicans in the poll. Nearly half of the Republican women supported a federal right to abortion.” https://t.co/6LZw9ocBME

Q: Is the Republican Party okay with blue states allowing access to abortion?

To put this in perspective: Similar measures got 57% in Michigan and Ohio.

And one got 67% in California in 2022.

These swing-state margins (at least right now) are beating California. https://t.co/gJjSIhMwTU

Two strange rock band connections

ChiChi Rodriguez and Devo?
The Three Stooges and the Stooges?

I didn’t know!

I'm not kidding that the beloved Puerto Rican golf star Chi Chi Rodriguez, who recently died at age 88, was on the cover of the first 1978 Devo album "Are We Not Men? We Are Devo!" https://t.co/UQE1RCT0eK

Here's an NBC documentary on the subject:https://t.co/F5FBSpnKov

Woodstock was 55 years ago

I was amazed by the tweet showing how little the performers were paid.

A few of best venues (Apollo & Carnegie come to mind) would not pay the best; artists & agents accepted it because the exposure brought them dozens of lucrative gigs nationwide they would not have had otherwise. Woodstock definitely did that for many artists⬇️$750 then=$6K+ now https://t.co/LcxX7Z0mYB

In August 1969, Judy Griffin's car broke down on the Tappan Zee Bridge. So, she stuck her head inside a 1967 VW Beetle and asked for a lift. She sat next to a man named Jerry all the way up to Woodstock. 55 years, two sons + five grandchildren later, they're still inseparable. pic.twitter.com/qiuxcWjJsC

Trump posts fake AI endorsement from Taylor Swift

I hope she sues him.

Trump posts fake Taylor Swift images on Truth Social to falsely claim singer’s support https://t.co/Ebe93V4OPT
— Axios (@axios) August 19, 2024

The thing about Trump stealing Taylor Swift’s image to fake an endorsement is that it’s exactly who he is. If he wants something from a woman, then he takes it. Whether or not she wants to give it to him. 🐍🐍 https://t.co/kaKemdzrrV

Lol, Trump posted a collage of AI generated Taylor Swift fans wearing ‘Swifities for Trump’ T-shits, and wrote “I accept!” as if this were real.

I mean…..this is uniquely pathetic, even for Trump. pic.twitter.com/GUVXQLqzYo

The "Swifties for Trump" campaign that Trump touted over the weekend using AI-generated images, appears to mostly consist of one woman from Wisconsin, who is selling homemade "Switfies for Trump" t-shirts on Etsy.

So far she's sold six.https://t.co/bswl4YV95H

Trump’s disgusting comments on honorary medals

Trump is standing by his take that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is better because it doesn't involve sacrifice.

Aside from being breathtakingly bad politics, it's a glimpse at how unable Trump is to think outside of himself for even a second. He's simply incapable of understanding or appreciation doing something outside of one's personal self-interest. https://t.co/oXbLJCdHhD

In this interview with VFRL member Ken Harbaugh, Medal of Honor awardee David Bellavia says:

1. Other Medal of Honor winners are upset with Trump’s disrespect to the award.

2. The MoH is of far higher meaning than the medal Trump gave Rush Limbaugh.

The media should not post Trump quotes without saying whether they are true or not

Trump lies so much I am skeptical about anything he says. The media must do better than this.

I doubt that she said that. Trump lies so often that you shouldn’t just spread his crap. If you pass along what he says, you should say if it’s the truth or a lie.
