Not my president. Clearly, not a president for all Americans. “Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” Then Trump called it a “small price to pay.” Millions of us dead. And his audience laughed. Reporting from my local news…

Mike Lawler was caught on camera at a private event saying that ‘Donald Trump loves America’ and ‘Democrats hate America’. This is the real Mike Lawler, #NY17. This is what he believes and how he speaks when he doesn’t think his comments will be made public. Remember that.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

In 2003, my writing partner and I wrote an episode of SVU “Abomination” about reparative therapy. The Supreme Courts striking down Colorado’s ban on reparative therapy will be detrimental to the lives of the young LGBTQ. This is not about religious freedom. This is hate pure and simple.

NEW: After a top supporter of the SAVE America Act said married women and anyone who changed their name could face new voter registration barriers, backers rushed to falsely claim the bill includes exceptions. The reality? It doesn't, and would roll back progress on women’s voting rights.

Supporters say GOP’s SAVE America Act won’t affect women’s voting rights. Here’s why that’s false
The bill does not include any exceptions for eligible voters whose current names differ from those on their identification documents.
