Do JD Vance & pals want to end American democracy? JD Vance and many of the bonkers billionaires that back him support the teachings of Curtis Yarvin who says that US democracy is a failed experiment and the US government should be replaced by a dictator CEO. This seems to align with Trump’s history of backing authoritarian policies. 🇺🇸

Nebraskans will be allowed to vote on two competing ballot initiatives that would expand or limit abortion rights this November, the state’s Supreme Court ruled Friday. 🇺🇸
"As president, I will get rid of the unnecessary degree requirements for federal jobs to increase jobs for folks without a four-year degree," Kamala Harris said in her speech in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. More than 62% of Americans age 25 or older did not hold a bachelor's degree, according to data released by the U.S. Census Bureau in early 2023. Americans without college degrees made up three out of five voters in 2020.🇺🇸

North Dakota judge rules state abortion ban unconstitutional. "The North Dakota Constitution guarantees each individual, including women, the fundamental right to make medical judgments affecting his or her bodily integrity, health, and autonomy, in consultation with a chosen health care provider free from government interference," State District Judge Bruce Romanick wrote in the opinion.🇺🇸
On the campaign trail, Harris has reiterated her continued support for the hardline bipartisan immigration border security deal that would have included hundreds of millions of dollars for border security. This deal should have already passed but was stopped earlier in the year by Senate Republicans because Trump didn’t want an immigration border security deal to be passed. 🇺🇸
