Christian Nationalist extremist Matthew Kacsmaryk removed his name from a law review article where he said the doctors “cannot use their scalpels to make female what God created male” and “cannot use their pens to prescribe or dispense abortifacient drugs designed to kill unborn children.” He did so while he was under consideration for his judgeship and then failed to disclose this article to the Senate.
Impeachment. Now.

@DaveRussell @1finekitty Liberty is just a brand name to them. It's not an actual principle or anything.
Just like "Christian" is a brand, not a religious belief.
Missouri now says autistic people can’t receive gender affirming care because autistics are “too vulnerable” to know what our gender is.
I guess you have to stop calling me a woman because I don’t have the captaincy to determine I’m cis 🤷♀️
Sinema is a Senator who only serves lobbyists. Just the picture of corruption.
Wealthy investors, PACs and big GOP donors fill Sinema’s campaign
More than half of the Democratic-turned-independent senator's first-quarter fundraising came from contributors who gave donations of $3,300 or more.
"More than 30% of the Democrat-turned-independent's haul this quarter came from employees of just five major companies, including hedge funds, investment groups and private equity firms. "

Excuse me, but how are people calling this a win?
What this 5th Circuit ruling means:
* FDA approval of Mifepristone remains
* Mifepristone cannot be mailed
* Mifepristone can only be dispensed after over 3 doctor visits
1. to administer mifepristone,
2. to administer misoprostol
3. assess any complications
Hope you’re rich and living where you can get three doctor visits in 49 days, ladies!
This feels like the soft crescendo before they remove more of our waning rights.
Marco Rubio hammered over 'appalling bigotry' aimed at U.S. military official.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R - FL) is being called out for an apparently homophobic Twitter post attacking a Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps officer, with his comments being called "juvenile." https://www.rawstory.com/marco-rubio-bigot/

Ideological pre-commitment is bad enough; corruptly concealed pre-commitment by a judge hand-picked by one side for that purpose is totally over the top.
Article III judges serve “during good Behaviour,” not for life. Others have been removed for less.

Have MAGA parents get their underaged kids to violate that rule, and then sue the social media company for violating the law.
The law's main purpose is to hurt social media companies, not white kids.
As a bonus, they can arrest Black kids if they use Tik Tok.
