Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Yes, precisely this. “We shouted and screamed about Trump being a dictator! And he won anyway!”

No you most manifestly did not. I was there. You did exactly what you’re doing now: argued that overreacting to Trump would alienate voters, and you should keep your head down and focus on policy.

Gosh where might Congress find funds to ensure health coverage 🤔

Dems must say: No troops, or no shutdown deal | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, billionaire saved by Penn wants to wreck it.

No troops, or no deal to reopen the government

With masked goons running wild in Chicago and the president murdering people on boats, Democrats must seize the shutdown crisis as an opportunity to wage the fight against fascism we need to happen NOW

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

president donald trump signed this into law in 2019

Lol I think that kind of calculus is far too downstream.

Seems like a sandbag to have him carry the water on this. Bless his heart.

Seems like a sandbag.

Maps show how expected increases in monthly premiums vary by age and geography.

If ACA healthcare subsidies are not extended, a 60-year-old earning $65k in Key West, Fla. could see premiums go from $460 a month with the subsidies to $2,400 a month without.

Great post.

Lots of it. The most, really.

For, um, like a LOT of reasons.

What did I tell y’all. It also won’t be long before HeadStart funds run out.

Where are those children (of working mothers) going to go?

This is a threat to public safety and a means for women to end up incarcerated. The choice is impossible: let your children starve or do whatever to survive

93 million U.S. residents are immigrants or are U.S. born and have at least one immigrant parent.

Who started this idea that men are broken? It seems they’re just angry about the people they used to be able to boss around not letting them do that anymore.

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

Trump is invading Illinois and Oregon but probably he’d negotiate with the President of Dartmouth in good faith.

they're not just fucking with the rule of law and the functioning of our democratic system, they're also undermining the basic compact of our federal union

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops. I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars have been spent on body cameras, sold as a revolution in transparency and accountability.

Instead, police departments routinely refuse to release footage — even when officers kill.
