Trump Appellate Judge on why #mifepristone should never have been approved: “Unborn babies are a source of profound joy for those who view them. Expectant parents eagerly share ultrasound photos with loved ones. Friends and family cheer at the sight of an unborn child. Doctors delight in working with their unborn patients — and experience an aesthetic injury when they are aborted.”
These people don’t even try to make legal arguments. He’s just saying Babies R Good.

Animal Farm, a beast fable in the form of a satirical allegorical novella, by George Orwell, was first published in England #OTD in 1945.
Orwell initially encountered difficulty getting the manuscript published, largely due to fears that the book might upset the alliance between Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union. via @wikipedia

The AEA Donated Millions to Republicans. Now Republicans Are Attacking Them
#Alabama Republicans continue their long-standing struggle with teachers and the education system, now setting their sights on the AEA... despite the AEA financially supporting them.
Mark Meadows attempts to have charges in Georgia dismissed because he was "just following (Trump's) orders."😱

“If you are a service member stationed in a state that has rolled back or restricted health care access, you are often stationed there because you were assigned there. It is not that you chose to go there...So, a service member in Alabama deserves to have the same access to health care as a service member in California, as a service member stationed in Korea.”
That's right. Fuck #Tuberville and straight to their freaky religious Hell with all #Alabama Republicans.
The failure of Republican governance in a nutshell.

I hope judges realize that leniency has no chance of working with Trump. He's shown that he is a habitual and compulsive criminal, so pardoning him or putting him on probation simply leaves him free to follow his compulsive bad and dangerous behavior.

This is unbelievable. Under Georgia state law, the names AND ADDRESSES of the GA grand jury members who indicted Trump and his seditious conspiracy cohorts have been made public. In a hot second that info was posted on a MAGA website.
For years, Red States like mine (Tennessee) have been passing laws designed to prevent people from protesting public figures, corporations, politicians and others tied to offensive views. But the second the shoe is on the other foot ... GUESS WHAT HAPPENS!
