I hope KFF or other nonprofit will be tracking the before and after results of this disastrous decision. This move by FL will have widespread impacts beyond their borders.

Omgoodness NO. Stop chasing the next bright shiny savior and get someone with credibility and experience.

In Michigan, we passed a red flag law, safe storage, universal background checks, and closed the domestic violence loophole.

We CAN make change.

But we won’t stop this epidemic of gun violence until we elect people at every level who view our kids and communities' safety as a priority.

I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.

Compare WaPo and Democracy Docket's headlines. Which source do you trust?

Kennedy Removes All C.D.C. Vaccine Panel Experts

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

I had the most wonderful flight home from Denver. I met the nicest young man who sat next to me. He offered to put my bag in the overhead compartment and helped me with my tray. He was always polite, saying "yes ma’am" or "no ma’am." Anyone would be proud to have him as a son or grandsonβ€”so polite.

People walking by were saying congratulations, great job, or even taking pictures. I turned and asked him, β€œWho am I sitting next to?” I looked at his Jaguar pants, smiled, and asked, β€œAre you an athlete?” He smiled and said, β€œI’m Travis. Yes, I was drafted by the Jags.” I already told my sons I want his jersey.

He’s so humble and down-to-earthβ€”I would have never guessed he was a professional athlete. JACKSONVILLE JAGS, you did good! I will be buying tickets.

United Airlines, thank you for my seat assignment!

Lisa Murkowski once again shows courage and this time by telling the truth. This president is focused on revenge and retribution, and if enough people stand up in the face of this intimidation, democracy survives.

THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.

It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Crazy. I also looked at a few local SC papers to see how they covered the market. Not one word, the business section on The State was not listed as well. After spending 2 weeks in my red home state, the only thing that will break the cult is when people are personally impacted by the clown show.
