Republicans Fight Losing Battle With Pope On Climate Change
Republicans like Jeb Bush and Rick Santorum -- and the Koch brothers -- ignored the writing on the wall when they fought a losing battle with Pope Francis and the reams of science behind human-caused climate change. Instead, they took on more than they could chew and made sure their climate change denialism will be a major issue this election. Here's what happens when you're on the losing side of an argument with the pope: Washington Post: How Climate-Change Doubters Lost a Papal Battle. “Yet the battle lost over climate change also suggests how hard it may be for critics to blunt the power of a man who has become something of a juggernaut in an institution where change tends to unfold over decades, even centuries. More than anything, to those who doubt the human impact of global warming, the position staked out by Francis in his papal document, known as an encyclical, means a major defeat…

Scott Walker extremifies his awful women's health record
Scott Walker is making his extreme 20-week abortion ban even more extreme today by saying he will continue to oppose any exceptions for rape, incest, or life of the mother. From AP: “Gov. Scott Walker says he will sign a 20-week abortion ban whether or not it includes an exemption for cases of rape or incest… A bill banning abortions after 20 weeks is slated for a joint public hearing Tuesday in the Legislature. It does not include an exemption for rape or incest.” Walker is a natural fit with the far-right evangelical base – he consistently opposes a woman’s right to choose with no exception. The 20-week bill is being fast-tracked (it was introduced less than a month ago) after Walker met with influential evangelical leaders and is eager to prove he’s their guy. From supporting a ban on common forms of birth control to making drastic cuts to women’s preventative care, Walker has a long and dangerous record to that the Tea Party is sure to love.
People hate Rubio’s tax plan so much that Glenn Beck would rather vote for Obama
Congratulations, Marco Rubio. Rather than pleasing anyone, you managed to offend just about everyone with your shiny new tax plan. Glenn Beck thinks it’d be better to vote for Barack Obama. Economists and blowhards on the left, center, and right are all singing kumbaya and writing off Rubio’s plan for making laughable assumptions about tax revenues. Or is it the child tax credit that actually excludes poor families? Maybe it’s that his tax cuts didn’t go far enough?
