  • Desperate Donald Calls For Republicans To 'TAKE ACTION' Amid Legal Woes
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 03:12 PM

    Twice impeached and four times indicted, former President Donald Trump issued a desperate plea for help to his Republican allies on Truth Social amid his hush-money case. Trump wrote at 2:00 AM, so he isn't getting much sleep. It shouldn't be called a hush-money case, though, since it's about Donald interfering in the 2016 election.

The potential emerging trend was first spotted by The Washington Post's Aaron Blake. In the NBC poll, Biden trailed Trump by 2 points in the head-to-head matchup, 44% to 46%.

    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 11:44 AM

    This morning, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a case brought by the state of Idaho, which wants the nation’s highest court to rule that its abortion ban preempts federal law when it comes to emergency abortion care. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, known as EMTALA, requires that hospitals receiving Medicare funding provide stabilizing care for all ER patients—including abortion care, even if it conflicts with a state’s own stricter abortion rules.
