    A tale of two networks. Howard Kurtz's Fox News media show did not devote any coverage today to the white supremacist shooting in Buffalo or the killing of a Palestinian journalist. Meanwhile, those were the top two stories on CNN's Reliable Sources.

    SCIENCE FACT: Dolphins have been known to provoke pufferfish, who then release a hallucinogenic toxin in self-defense. The dolphins then get stoned off the toxin and pass the pufferfish back and forth like a hacky sack.

    I’d feel more confident dismissing the possibility of a national abortion ban if Republicans weren’t doing such a good job of insulating themselves from democratic accountability

    "Republican leaders are now trying to run away from the expected Supreme Court decision. Former President Trump, who brags about everything, has hardly mentioned it at all. Neither have hard-liners like Sens. Cruz, Cornyn or Hawley." My column. .

    “But if Republicans get what they want ― an overturning of Griswold ― it would kick the issue back to the states and open the door to restrictions or bans on birth control methods, because there would be no federal guarantee of access.”

    In 1996, as clinics were under attack and Republicans were trying to ban later abortion care, President Clinton met with abortion providers and people who’ve had abortions in the Oval Office. This moment is unprecedented. Why won’t President Biden do the same?

    Image of President Clinton sitting and talking with 6 people who’ve had and provide abortions in the Oval Office in 1996.

    Incredible/horrifying how threatening this SCOTUS draft decision is for so many current protections for women, not just abortion rights. Access to contraception is one of them. Same-sex marriage is another.

    As an added bonus, they’re also the party that has already been accessing women’s private medical records so they can track women’s periods via spreadsheets and figure out who’s having abortions.

    Somehow the party of “small government” became the party of: banning books, censoring TV, video monitoring teachers, punishing businesses who criticize government, and restricting access to birth control and medical procedures.

    It's become pretty clear the leaks about internal Court deliberations (if not the draft opinion itself) are from the Thomas-Alito camp, and are designed to weaken the Chief Justice and intimidate any of the newer justices from joining him for fear of seeming weak or unprincipled.

    NEW: Alito’s draft opinion still “only circulated draft in the pending Mississippi abortion case, POLITICO has learned.” No votes have changed & the court is still waiting for the dissent opinion to emerge. W/ ⁦⁩ & ⁦⁩

    Really hoping comes through given all the lawmakers speaking and attending tonight!

    If C-SPAN gets its act together, you can watch it on there. Nancy Pelosi will be paying tribute to Cokie Roberts. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) will be trying their hand at comedy. I'll have silver cowboy ankle boots on.

    The dinner is a fun event and all, but it's also the signature fundraising event for the Washington Press Club Foundation. It funds all of the foundation's programs focused on supporting the careers of young women and minorities aspiring to be journalists.

    My god. What news to wake up to. Veteren Al Jazeera Arabic reporter has been killed by Israeli forces while covering a raid into Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. We grew up watching Shireen on TV. Total shock.
