New in PN: Trump isn't joking about serving 3 or more terms
"If Trump returns to power, it’s likely he and his minions will push to abolish the 22nd Amendment and its maximum of two terms for presidents — in fact Project 2025 is already scheming to do just that. And you don’t have to take it from us. Just listen to the man himself." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-third-term-nra-speech-dallas

New in PN: Republicans don’t actually want you to remember 4 years ago
Reagan's question does not reflect poorly on Biden. On the contrary. https://www.publicnotice.co/p/are-you-better-off-2024-election-gop-trump

New in PN: Rhetoric expert Jennier Mercieca on how Biden can hit Trump where it hurts
"When Biden calls Trump out for being a loser, it attacks the central characteristic right-wing authoritarians are looking for, which is a strong leader who can take care of the chaos." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/jennifer-mercieca-interview-2024-trump-rhetoric

New in PN: "The tale of Brian Butler is a new example of someone in Trumpworld being a victim of top-down pressure to help Trump in a criminal scheme. As Michael Cohen explained, Trump 'behaves like a mob boss' and 'giv[es] an order without giving it. No fingerprints attached.'" https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-employee-5-brian-butler-cnn-interview

New in PN: Checking in on the state of right-wing extremism with Andy Campbell
"Bannon still has a podcast. Joe Rogan is still platforming every Nazi under the sun. Milo and Nick Fuentes are still hanging out with GOP elites. The faces that you saw at Gamergate and Charlottesville are still out there. A January 6 can and will happen again, because the architects are still able to do their thing unimpeded." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/andy-campbell-interview-proud-boys-jan-6-tarrio

New in Public Notice: "The GOP has a crowded field of habitual liars. But Ramaswamy is perhaps the current master of what Kate McKinnon’s SNL version of Laura Ingraham described as 'feel facts, which aren’t technically true but just feel true'" https://www.publicnotice.co/p/vivek-ramaswamy-rise-explained

"They're all standing on 5th Ave. and could shoot someone" -- enjoyed talking with Ruth Ben-Ghiat about tonight's GOP debate as a demonstration of how Trump's strongman cult has taken over the party, the historical roots of MAGA authoritarianism, and more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kn9J1pBywo

Absolutely insane when you consider that Trump presided over a loss of 3 million jobs, while Biden has presided over the addition of more than 12 million. And yes, Covid impacted those numbers, but Trump did a horrendous job managing the pandemic. He's to blame for that.
