  • The description of the fork incident is pretty misleading. Maccani stormed up to the officers undeterred by multiple bean-bag rounds, holding the fork reversed so that it looked like a knife. Take 20 seconds and see for yourself:

    A better trained / equipped group may have been able to de-escalate / disarm him, but -- unlike many other cases -- they didn't just wander up and shoot him for existing.

  • What she said was "I think we can certainly do more to be advancing our vision, and I believe we have a strong vision that we can run on." She specifically calls out:

    • Codifying abortion/reproductive rights [House and Senate races matter!]
    • Lowering Medicare age
    • Student loan forgiveness

    Contrary to OP's title, she actually pushes back on the false narrative that Biden is running as "not Trump".

    She does say that it will be important to demonstrate "what we are willing to do with" governing power between now and November.

  • Headline is an outright lie. The article literally quotes her saying she supports IVF. The author speculates that a bill she is co-sponsoring (that does not mention IVF) may accidentally ban IVF (if it passes and Biden signs it).

    Certainly you could denigrate her intelligence, performative politics, or the logical incoherence between her abortion and IVF positions. But you cannot say she wants to do something contrary to her actual explicitly stated desire.
