Barrett said he was unaware of the change, adding that they try to keep website current with most important issues — and abortion, he says, isn’t one.

An interesting statement, given that Michigan voters identified abortion as their top issue in not one but two polls this week. https://t.co/30MWmej3yo pic.twitter.com/UK1QF0mp8S
(And given that we're talking about Michigan, I assume he's talking about the security of the Canadian border.)
I wonder if they left in Masters' opposition to a right to contraception.
In Arizona, Blake Masters backtracks on abortion, scrubs campaign website

"I am 100% pro-life," Masters' website read as of Thursday morning.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers called an emergency special session of the GOP-led legislature to repeal the 1849 ban on abortions even for rape & incest

New poll: 82% support abortion rights in Ohio. Yet the legislature denied a 10-year-old rape victim that option. This shows how gerrymandering subverts democracy and enables extremism. https://t.co/1360ltxZ0Q

And though you've been told different, this remains Trump's party.
When asked if Trump will be the nominee in 2024, CPAC’s Matt Schlapp takes it even further, “it’s an unshakable bond. It’s always like, people ask the question - is he the leader? .. Yes, and I think he will be until he takes his last breath.” pic.twitter.com/EgF2ZDKlWo

I've heard so many versions since 2020 of "Trump can't win the nomination again because R voters don't want a loser and they don't want to risk nominating a candidate with lots of legal issues." But the party is making it near impossible to argue from either premise.

No matter how much parts of the mainstream press dislike talking about it.
I read this with a question pending. As he examined the high-risk decision to search Mar-a-Lago, how would Times analyst @shearm describe the risk to the country in letting Trump's conduct go uncharged? A "news analysis" allows for that. https://t.co/eU7wzkWriw

Remember how David Brooks spent the early part of 2016 touting Rubio as the sane alternative to Trump?
Cascading layers of bullshit here. But it’s worth noting that his argument is that it doesn’t matter if Trump is likely to have committed a crime. Republicans will manufacture a prosecution as payback. He’s basically saying, that’s who we are, of course we’ll do that. https://t.co/8Fj5fQS4Su

You know Biden's foreign policy is going well when OAN switches from "this would never have happened if Trump were in power" to "this is only happening because Russia and China are afraid of Trump coming back to power"
“Russia could’ve taken Ukraine inside of 3 weeks but didn’t. They’re holding back, why? China is too scared to invade Taiwan, why? The reason is because they don’t know what Trump is going to do with them in 2025 .. Trump remains more powerful than anyone in 4 generations.” pic.twitter.com/TuLrzCljv3

Trump received 79% of the vote in 2020 out of ~16,000 votes total.

This is what an actual never-Trumper looks like.
Nope. As I’ve said often, I will not support ANY Republican who voted for Trump in 2020. That’s virtually EVERY Republican, including DeSantis. So I may never vote Republican again.
