A ton of ink (virtual or otherwise) has already been spilled on Trump and CNN. Obviously it was Trump at his most awful. And obviously CNN did our country a disservice by hosting what was effectively a Trump rally. But, there's an angle that's missing from the discussion. 1/n

I’m running for U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a Senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself. Join our campaign today: colinallred.com

This cruelty has to stop.

A woman in rural Oklahoma developed a nonviable, molar pregnancy that became cancerous. She went to the hospital for an emergency D&C, and they told her she had to wait in the parking lot until her condition became worse before they could treat her: jezebel.com/woman-with-can

Finally. We live to fight another day.

SCOTUS has stayed Judge Kacsmaryk's order, which would have banned Mifepristone while litigation proceeded. Mifepristone remains available for the duration of the litigation over dissents from Thomas & Alito.

They got to power by agreeing to the most extreme right wing anti woman fringe and it’s a little late to switch lanes. You dance with them that bring ya.

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show. The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

This is a VERY SERIOUS situation unfolding in Nashville. The reps who stood w/their constituents who came to the state house to demand gun safety, are facing expulsion from the House. Their Member ID badges have already been turned off. This is how democracy ends.
Quote Tweet
From @brotherjones_ on the ground in Nashville— the Tennessee legislator is planning to expel lawmakers who stood with gun control advocates today. They have been stripped from committee assignments and their member ID’s have been shut off. THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

Welcome to Ron DeSantis’ Florida
Quote Tweet
I sincerely believe that Ron DeSantis lost any hope of winning the presidency this week. Standing by while the state requires girls to submit information on their menstrual cycles to school officials? It's over. He may win the nomination, but he's not gonna win the general.

We can thank the Republican Party for this.

The shooter in California allegedly used a Cobray M11 9mm semi-automatic weapon, which allows a killer to fire 30-round magazines in rapid succession. The weapon is illegal in nearly every developed country except the United States. cnn.com/2023/01/22/us/
