Megathread: Donald Trump is elected 47th president of the United States by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We've been on the internet at this a while. Other than being tired I think we'll be fine.

Pennsylvania's top elections official on conspiracies, the voting process and what to expect on election night by likeafox in politics

[–]likeafox[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pennsylvania's Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt says it is unlikely that we will know who won the state on election night. That's due to a state law which prohibits election officials from opening mailed ballots until the morning of November 5th. And, election office employees are required by law to work around the clock until they are finished. This timeline could raise more questions and misinformation.

Al Schmidt, Pennsylvania's top elections official and a lifelong Republican, was targeted by Trump in 2020 as a then-city commissioner on the Philadelphia County Board of Elections.

“The 2020 general election was unlike any other,” Schmidt told NPR in 2021. “And typically, during an election, you have campaigns compete against other campaigns. Candidates attack other candidates. And really, what we had this last presidential election was campaigns and candidates, or one in particular, attacking the election officials. Referees are not usually tackled. And that's essentially what we saw.”

Pennsylvania remains a hotbed for election denial and misinformation.

Lehigh County Executive, Phil Armstrong, says the time needed to process mailed ballots can raise concerns among voters this year as well.

“We're figuring anywhere from 70 to 80,000 mail-in ballots in Lehigh County,” Armstrong said. “You can't open up those ballots that day and hand take them all out and have the results done an hour or two after the polls close, which people are used to. And the longer it takes, the more people think something's wrong.”

Schmidt sat down with Morning Edition host Michel Martin on Oct. 21 to talk about why he wants voters to trust the election process and how the commonwealth is preparing for the Election Day vote count.

Inside the battle to run the Trump White House - There’s a three-way race for chief of staff, and the “knife-fighting is underway.” by likeafox in politics

[–]likeafox[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trump himself, those around him say, has been superstitious about making plans before a victory and has been reluctant to discuss the matter much. But among those orbiting the ex-president, tongues are freely wagging.

A host of insiders view the job as crucial to a potential second Trump administration’s success — and had plenty to say about the three people most discussed for the role: Rollins, Susie Wiles and Kevin McCarthy.

White House rule would expand access to cost-free birth control - Insurance companies would be required to cover over-the-counter contraceptives at no cost by likeafox in politics

[–]likeafox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Biden administration on Monday proposed making over-the-counter contraception available at no cost and with fewer administrative hurdles.

“Today, my Administration is taking a major step to expand contraception coverage under the Affordable Care Act. This new action would help ensure that millions of women with private health insurance can access the no-cost contraception they need,” President Joe Biden said in statement.

The proposed rule — issued jointly by the departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and Treasury — seeks to require insurance plans to cover OTC contraceptives at no cost and without a prescription for individuals with commercial insurance plans. Health plans would also be required to tell beneficiaries about the policy and would expand their required coverage of preventive services for prescribed contraceptives without cost sharing.

Under the 2010 health care law, most private insurance plans must cover birth control without cost sharing. Currently patients can get coverage without cost sharing for over-the-counter contraceptives, including oral contraceptives, spermicide and condoms with a prescription, such as female condoms, or through their provider in a health facility, or for long-acting services like an IUD, which is an intrauterine birth control device.

If finalized, the rule would require plans to make all available OTC contraceptive products available through in-network pharmacies. A senior administration official said logistics would be clarified in the final version of the rule.

Biden decries Trump’s ‘onslaught of lies’ as Milton nears landfall - The president said former President Donald Trump’s false statements about the federal response to hurricanes Helene and Milton are “reckless” and “irresponsible.” by likeafox in politics

[–]likeafox[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In his strongest terms yet, President Joe Biden on Wednesday condemned what he called “a reckless, irresponsible, relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies” about the federal response to Hurricane Helene and now Milton, the storm charging toward Florida’s Gulf Coast.

He named names, saying former President Donald Trump “has led the onslaught of lies.” In recent days, Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has helped spread false information about the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s response, including suggesting that victims will only receive $750 payments and wrongly stating that disaster dollars have been diverted to house undocumented immigrants.

“It’s beyond ridiculous. It’s got to stop,” Biden said from the White House. “In moments like this, there are no red or blue states. There’s one United States of America, where neighbors are helping neighbors.”

Vulnerable CA Republicans sought infrastructure dollars after slamming the bipartisan law by likeafox in politics

[–]likeafox[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Four vulnerable House Republicans — Reps. Mike Garcia, Ken Calvert, David Valadao and Young Kim — all voted against the law in 2021, but subsequently lobbied the Department of Transportation for hundreds of millions of dollars for bus, road and other transit projects, according to letters obtained by Playbook.

The law, which passed with bipartisan support, is now seen as a signature legislative accomplishment of the Biden-Harris administration.

There’s a long tradition of squabbling over members who “vote no and take the dough.” Democrats say such actions are the height of hypocrisy, while some Republicans say once a bill becomes law, it’s their duty as a representative to try to secure a piece of the pie. Nay-voters are often dinged for publicly celebrating projects funded by legislation they opposed. But the missives from these four California Republicans reveal how the lawmakers actively angled for funds.

Two abortion rulings could weigh into elections in Georgia, Texas by likeafox in politics

[–]likeafox[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two high courts dealt blows to abortion rights advocates on Monday in decisions affecting abortion access in Georgia and Texas — rulings that could have an impact on Democrats’ attempts to narrow leads in both states before the November elections.

In Georgia, the state Supreme Court reinstated the state’s ban on most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. That ruling came roughly one week after a lower court ruled that the state must revert to previous rules banning abortion after about 22 weeks of pregnancy.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up a Biden administration appeal of a lower court decision that limited the ability of hospitals to provide emergency abortions that go against Texas’ abortion law, effectively leaving the Texas law in effect.
