Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade.
Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."

Federal law bans using appropriated funds for publicity or propaganda. Trump signed the bill that still says it.
If he wants “Love Me” on Fox and Newsmax six weeks out, he can write a campaign check. But the crook does not get to loot your government tax dollars because the polls are ugly...

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
