How scared are Missouri Republicans about their anti-abortion amendment not passing in November? They are running commercials that don’t even mention the amendment will ban abortion… because they know we already gave women the constitutional right to abortion. VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT 3.

Public Service Announcement: If your child has to change clothes because a certain adult is coming the child isn’t the problem. Protecting children is more important than protecting grown folks’ feelings. Some family traditions deserve to end.

More from Steve Rattner: Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing. Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625,000. #EconSky #TrumpTariffs

I'm a lucky old bastard. I've managed to live long enough to retire & collect Social Security & Medicare. Millions don't make it this far. If you need a reason to vote, there it is. One political party works to destroy those programs while the other looks away. Everyone should have these protections

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

The Guardian: Margarita Robles, the Spanish defence minister, has reiterated her country’s commitment to Nato and unilateralism saying that the US and Israel “can’t be the ones who, without anyone’s support, not even of their allies, decide what type of rules or peace apply in the world”.

Speaking to congress, she said “we are faced with a scenario that the government defines as a war that runs contrary to international law and to which our response has been firm and consistent.”

“Our position is supported by the majority of people, and not just Spanish but European,” she added.

Defending the decision to deny the US use of its bases in Spain to pursue the war, she said the prohibition applied “exclusively” to the war on Iran.

This decision absolutely doesn’t imply a break with our transatlantic links. The bases continue to function.

Spain feels no obligation to join an illegal war whose objectives, 30 days into the conflict, have yet to be defined, she said.

“No one knows what will happen with this war,” Robles said.

“Two countries went to war and expected us to join them,” adding that “we don’t accept lectures from anyone in regard to our commitment to peace”.
