In her first campaign rally as the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at her Republican rival and a widely derided Trump-linked platform that provides a blueprint for the next GOP administration.
“Donald Trump wants to take our country backward,” she said in remarks from Milwaukee on Tuesday, just two days after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and endorsed his vice president.
Harris, who secured enough delegate pledges to clinch the Democratic Party’s nomination within a little over 24 hours after announcing her candidacy, linked Trump to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-backed plan for his administration, and one that his campaign is now furiously trying to distance itself from.
“He and his extreme Project 2025 agenda will weaken the middle class. We know we got to take that seriously,” Harris said. ”Can you believe they put that thing in writing? Read it. It’s 900 pages.”
The plan proposes cuts to Social Security and Medicare, tax breaks to corporations that will force “working families to foot the bill” and abolishes the Affordable Care Act, which “will take us back to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions,” Harris said.
Did Biden ever even really talk about 2025? I’m loving that this is one of the very first places she goes and I hope she just presses hard on it non-fucking stop what’s in it
Tell them their porn’s going away. Do it in the fucking debate. Do it pussy.
Unfortunately a large number of conservatives support that. Like how Mike Johnson has an app that tells his son whenever he’s jacking off.
How is that app supposed to work?
Honor system, which makes it even more creepy. He has to decide to tell his son he jerked off.
and the son wants to know? or has he deleted the app without telling?
His son grew up with Mike Johnson as a father. He’s either a true believer or he knows that you do not step out of line when it comes to dad’s creepy shit.
His son just probably has a laptop and boots using a usb into linux. All of these christian goodie-do-gooders are going to create a nation of hackers.
Lmao part of the reason I went so deep into the Linux world was because my school board had super advanced network policies that were able to effectively block specific traffic and pretty much any commercial VPN. I had to build my own server at home to connect to from school using a bunch of traffic cloaking techniques to get unobstructed internet access.
I didn’t really use any sites that were blocked anyway, but it made me go “watch me bitch” to whoever was overengineering the censorship system in our school board’s IT.
Shadow socks? Ssh?
tell me.how
Also fuck your school board’s it
Lol I wasn’t joking, it actually is an app and not the honor system. His 17 year-old son gets an immediate notice when his dad starts cranking his hog.

Who is going to tell him that his son has a way around it?
Yeah imagine expecting a 17 year old boy to NOT look at porn.
So it’s looking at porn, not cranking his hog.
Are you suggesting that Mike Johnson is edging himself?
Yes.
Maybe he just appreciates the porn, aesthetically.
Forgive me son, for I have sinned.
If I remember correctly, it lets each user view the other’s search history.
That, but also an immediate notification if you go to a porn site.
I don’t like my freedom! But you can also restrict someone with Google and not even need to see those sights. So I dunno what the fuck they are doing. Family link is easy and takes like 5 minutes to set up.
TIL. This is weird as fuck.
No ballsmala?
you could probably use vpn or whatever to get around that. i think it’s worse that they want to incriminate sex workers
They’ll go back to their couches.
Biden was too soft to mention it… Good thing he’s out of the race
the heritage foundation has been putting out a project 2025 like document since 1980 and nearly 75% of all of the recommendations have been enacted by both democrats and republicans since then, including biden.
biden didn’t talk much about project 2025 because, if you looked into it, you’ll find that biden was a big proponent of the 1980’s & 1990’s versions of the project 2025; so it was politically advantageous that he pretended that it never happened and he never did it to ensure a distinction between him and maga stayed present in today’s political discourse. the same is true with gay marriage; lgbtq in federal service; student loans; segregation; feminism; etc. and i bet that’s why he dropped out.
I would just like to point out that this is an example of the tried-and-true rhetorical technique of shrugging off issues with a dismissive “that’s not new.” We see politicians and spokespersons do it all the time, because, maddeningly, it works.
But, it doesn’t actually matter whether it’s new, does it? Couple things: The Heritage Foundation has put out a similar document every election cycle for decades, but the contents have changed; this iteration could be (is!) much, much worse. Even if Heritage had been putting out the same plan all along, and we didn’t object then, well, we can still object now. We don’t have to keep making the same mistakes in the future just because we made them in the past.
It’s almost as if career politicians aren’t great choices cause of all the baggage.
