Last week, a federal district court held that a Christian employer is entitled to an exemption from the requirement that all insurance plans must cover pre-exposure prophylaxis (PreP) drugs that prevent the spread of HIV trib.al/yLWEgqr

The fact that CIA agents were killed, captured, or compromised because Trump sold their names to our enemies should be a much bigger story.

@GovPritzker maybe doesn’t realize Abbott gave $12m to a company to transport migrants & said company (Wynne) is one of his biggest donors. It’s a taxpayer money laundering scheme into his pocket disguised as a political stunt. Nothing more.

The DOJ brief criticizing the Special Master ruling is a work of art. I’ve read some great DOJ briefs but this is among the best. Garland brought the A team (Now admittedly, it was an easy target. But still, just in tone & sophistication &clarity & law) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

I don’t even know how you smuggle out such secret documents—the chain of possession is so rigorous. It’s not just carelessness and incompetence, it shows intent and planning and specificity. It is incontrovertibly a high crime.

So you’ll “act” when it’s “gang related” but not when it’s children who are massacre? Got it.

Flint still doesn’t have clean drinking water. Jackson doesn’t have clean water. Baltimore doesn’t have clean water. Corporations are buying elections. What is the news covering? 🧐

“My sons are very tough but they can’t stop a bullet.” Sobbing father thanks attentive @BetoORourke at 8/17/22 rally in Fredericksburg Texas—and says his Republican family will vote for #BetoforGovernor because Beto is taking on the issue of gun violence:https://t.co/PselLvB6UC

“This is on you. You are doing nothing. You are offering up nothing. You said this was not predictable. This was totally predictable when you choose not to do anything.” — Beto O’Rourke to Greg Abbott after #UvaldeMassacre #BetoForTexas #BetoForGovernor

“It's on you.” Beto O'Rourke interrupted Governor Greg Abbott's press conference about the Uvalde Massacre to demand he do something about Texas’s gun problem. Thank you, Beto! @BetoORourke @TheRecount #UvaldeMassacre #UvaldeTX

BREAKING: Multiple people shot in Uvalde, Texas, at a memorial for the 21 lost to the last mass shooting there. America’s laws and leaders are broken. Enough. Start with Texas. Remove Greg Abbott and every single politician who loosened Texas’s gun laws.


Nicole reposted

ANOTHER ABBOTT LIE: @dallasnews has obtained new records showing Texas @GovAbbott stayed for HOURS at a fundraiser right AFTER the Uvalde mass school shooting. Initially Abbott said he'd only "stopped and let people know I could not stay." #txlege


Nicole reposted

The DOJ filing is devastating on several of the errors in Cannon's opinion. It will tie both the judge and Trump in knots. Here are a few of the highlights. 1. She held that there could potentially be some interest for Trump in executive privilege materials.That was far-fetched


Nicole reposted

I wonder why Abbott doesn’t talk about having to send foster care kids out of Texas because the federal government was forced to step in and supervise? He and my opponent love pointing to the border, misusing data to fit their narrative. The Texas GOP is incompetent.


Nicole reposted

More people need to be talking about Jackson, Mississippi. The city ran out of bottled water to give residents yesterday. It’s the largest city in Mississippi. It’s 80% Black. Their water system is failing because of years of neglect. This is environmental racism.

It’s so depressing to me that at one point in my life I thought the US was going to elect its first female president and now I’m unsure what rights we’ll have after the next few elections

People around the world are *currently* living those predictions—including in Texas. What climate change impacts have scientists documented in TX? Well, we outlined a *few* including: ⬆️ intensity of hurricanes ⬆️ sea levels ⬆️ heat ⬆️ water scarcity texastribune.org/2022/05/18/cli…


Nicole reposted

Yet another way #climatechange is impacting Texans: Extreme heat = Worse air quality = Worse health Ozone inflames our lungs, making us susceptible to infections (ie covid), prompt asthma attacks, etc Sunlight + heat accelerates reactions to form ozone. texastribune.org/2022/07/14/tex…

The Secret Service never seemed to have scandals when it operated in isolation at the nonpartisan Treasury Department. But since its move to Homeland Security, an agency created to amplify the right wing agenda, the Secret Service seems to have had one scandal after another. Hmm.
