“The whole game for Jonathan Mitchell is to get into federal court, both because he wants to shut down doctors in shield-law states, like everyone in the anti-abortion movement, and because he wants a federal court to weigh in on the Comstock Act.”

He’s suing his girlfriend’s doctor for prescribing abortion pills. Could this gut access everywhere?
Texas lawyer Jonathan Mitchell is going after a California doctor, Here’s why that’s terrifying.

Sen. Padilla: If you thought what unfolded last week was just about one politician, you're missing the point. If that is what the administration is willing to do to a United States Senator for having the authority to ask a question, imagine what's happening in places where there are no cameras

If we had liberal billionaires with a sense of humor, they’d immediately green light a war movie and put out a casting call in L.A. looking for 700 Marines for “highly paid roles in an upcoming feature film.”

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

At 1 am, the House Rules Committee will meet to advance their big ugly budget bill that adds $3.8 trillion to the deficit, strips health insurance away from 13.7 people, takes food out of the mouths of 16 million children, and hurts the bottom 10% to fund tax cuts for the top 10%.
