Harry Reid eliminating the filibuster for judicial appointments worked out poorly for Democrats, Kamala Harris tells Wisconsin Public Radio she'd eliminate the filibuster to get a national right to abortion back
It doesn't occur to these people that Republicans would retaliate in kind when they regain control of both chambers of Congress, passing their biggest ideas on simple majorities.
Retiring Senator Joe Manchin said ending the filibuster would turn the Senate into "the House on steroids," which is exactly right.
Retiring Senator Kyrsten Sinema said Republicans would use the new power "to ban all abortion nationwide", which is unlikely but possible.
But still Kamala persists, because she's not too bright.

Trump has been moving left on abortion, adding insult to injury with a commitment to another federal mandate
In August, Trump reiterated his opposition to Florida’s ban on abortions
after six weeks. Asked if he supported an amendment to the state’s
constitution expanding the right to abortion, Trump said,
“I am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks.” Faced with a
firestorm of criticism from anti-abortion groups, Trump campaign
officials maintained he “has not yet said how he will vote on the ballot
initiative.” ...
At the end of August, with polls showing a slight lead for Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump announced that “because we want more babies,” his administration would require either the federal government or insurance companies to pay the entire cost (which typically runs in the tens of thousands of dollars per individual) of IVF treatments for all Americans. He did not specify whether his proposal would be implemented through the Affordable Care Act, which he has promised to repeal, or whether he has become an advocate of socialized medicine. Nor did Trump reconcile the plan with the 2024 GOP platform, which has language that seems to support rights of citizenship, under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, to fertilized eggs, embryos and fetuses.
More.
Trump has learned nothing.

JD Vance deletes things from his past, which is . . . troubling
For example, that he voted for Evan McMuffinhead in 2016, that he thought Trump was reprehensible, and now . . . pro-life sections of his Senate campaign website.

Trump's RNC strong-armed the GOP platform committee, weakened its abortion provisions, pared it down from 66 pages to 16
“The 2024 platform is a decent
statement of campaign priorities, but not necessarily the enduring
principles of a party,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family
Research Council. “Unfortunately, the process was unbecoming of
constitutional conservatives which did not allow the document to be
amended or improved.” ...
Gayle Ruzicka, a platform committee member from Utah, said the RNC staff “didn’t allow” a discussion on the language the platform used on abortion.
“I had planned to go up there to try and make an amendment and they said we could make amendments,” she said, adding that she had been on platform committees several times and found it “very unusual.”
“They didn’t even give us a chance to read it before we voted on it,” Ruzicka said. She didn’t know exactly how long they had before voting — staff had taken her watch, phone and laptop — but it was “maybe a couple of hours” filled by speakers.
“I’m very frustrated. I think we were treated very poorly. We spent a lot of money to get here. We were supposed to have the opportunity to study it and read it. We didn’t get even a chance to read it first,” Ruzicka said. “They gave it to us, but we kept waiting to go to our committee and then they didn’t ever do committees.”

NBC LOL: Democrats will abort Biden only if he's "not viable"
'It's a mess': Biden turns to family on his path forward after his disastrous debate:
“[Former] Speaker Pelosi[, 84,] has full confidence in President Biden[, 81,] and
looks forward to attending his inauguration on January 20, 2025,” Ian
Krager, a spokesman for the former House speaker said. “Any suggestion
that she has engaged in a different course of action is simply not
true.” ...
Party elites will urge him to exit the race only if they determine that he is “not viable and negatively impacting the House and Senate races,” said one big-time donor who is close to both Obama and Biden.

Joe Biden's rape comments from last night's debate are . . . disjointed
He went to the funeral. The idea that she was murdered by an immigrant. But here's the deal, a lot of young women are being raped by their inlaws. By their spouses. By their brothers and sisters. It's just ridiculous.
The main line of interpretation seems to be that Biden was referring to the rape culture of migrants, sisters being a slip of the tongue.
Which begs the question, Why bring them here? Just so they can get an abortion? Is that what America boils down to?

EMTALA from 1986 became an illegal immigration magnet, 5-4 Supreme Court decision now may make it an abortion magnet
The federal government sued, leading a federal judge in August 2022 to block the state from enforcing provisions concerning medical care that is required under the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, or EMTALA.
That 1986 law mandates that patients receive appropriate emergency room care. The Biden administration argued that care should include abortions in certain situations when a woman’s health is imperiled even if death is not imminent.
