Some takes:
Dobbs Decision Scares Doctors
Molly Jong-Fast claims the 2022 midterm elections will be good for democrats because "doctors [are] terrified to treat women who are having gynecological complications."
- "One of the biggest things we’ve seen since the Dobbs decision [Supreme court ruling to return abortion to the states] is doctors terrified to treat women who are having gynecological complications..."
Midterm Chances
- Fetterman is really good at this, and so is his wife. Ryan has been really good. I think Mandela Barnes is really smart. I’ve interviewed all of those guys for my podcast and thought they were just really good at messaging in a way Democrats are historically not. Val Demings is a once-in-a-lifetime politician, but Florida is Florida.
- I also like Sherrod Brown.
'Late, Great Communist'
Molly Jong-Fast referred to her grandfather Howard Fast as "the late, great communist" in a July 28, 2022 article praising Liz Cheney at The Atlantic.[1]
