BREAKING: Iowa Republicans just passed a bill that bans most abortions after only SIX weeks. They passed it just after 11pm CT, thinking no one would be watching. But they’re wrong. They will regret this. Iowa Republicans have now pissed off & awakened Gen Z & women. Huge mistake
@Spidamar__@d21_johnson@NBA@SacramentoKings I wasn't surprised that he was playing, I was surprised at how many minutes he played and the whole entire game. I would be pissed if my team was taking that kind of risks with our starters.
As many as 250,000 incarcerated people owe student loan debt, @NCLC4consumers found last year. The debt accrues while they're locked up. And because prisons & jails profit off of phone calls, email and mail, communicating with loan servicing companies is "exorbitantly expensive."
@kenklippenstein We should file a class action lawsuit against their handlers to collect for the money that they're stealing for us to pay for security. Employers are responsible for protecting their employees, and the justices are definitely not employees of the United States government
BREAKING: The Republican-controlled Supreme Court hands down a disgraceful decision and rules against the Navajo Nation — stating that the U.S. Government is NOT obligated through treaty to ensure that the nation has reliable access to water.
Not surprisingly, the ruling was split largely along idealogical lines at 5-4. The only conservative justice to oppose the deeply evil decision was Neil Gorsuch whose surprisingly pro-native opinions are the sole bright spot in his otherwise detestable judicial career.
Gorsuch pointed out that the tribe was not seeking some kind of dramatic change, but was merely asking the government to identify its water rights — a crucial requirement for their continued survival.
Credibly accused sexual predator Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the majority, stating that: "In light of the treaty’s text and history, we conclude that the treaty does not require the United States to take those affirmative steps" and "it is not the Judiciary’s role to rewrite and update this 155-year-old treaty.”
The Navajo Nation has faced persistent problems trying to get water infrastructure to keep their people alive and secure. This ruling is devastating.
Here again we see the tragic result of allowing Republican monsters like Donald Trump to stuff the court. Republicans don't care about human suffering. They care about profits and oppressing minorities.
RT and ❤️ if you think that it's time to expand the court — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1.8 million raised from 4,500 of its users. If you want to own a small piece of what is quickly becoming the “next big thing” in social media, here is the link to do so, https://t.co/7S6ULL2X5e. You can invest as little as $100 — or as much as you’d like. Here’s the link to download the new Tribel app that Elon Musk is so afraid of: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
SCOOP: Billionaire GOP donor flew Justice Alito up to Alaska for a luxury fishing trip.
The donor, Paul Singer, later had cases before the court.
Alito didn't recuse. Ethics experts say he should have.

@TheWarriorsTalk The warriors are all about team over individual and if he has proven himself to repeatedly be individual over team that's not going to go over well in the locker room long term.
@celticsforum Having a good regular season means nothing wants to playoffs start. Having more talent on paper just means that the Celtics loss was even more ridiculous. It wasn't a fluke, the Celtics don't know how to play winning ball when it really matters.
Irvo Otieno was smothered to death while being treated for mental illness — Henrico County Sheriff’s deputies and hospital workers piled onto Irvo for 11 minutes. Mental illness should not be a death sentence — we MUST demand better police training and treatment!
@AlecMacGillis@JonHaidt My daughter is 9 and the only reason I would consider getting her a phone is so she can contact me from school 8n case there is a shooting. I think less parents would feel comfortable with more limits on cell phone access if they felt like their kid was safe at school.
@KylenMills Love to see it!! Both conference finals were won on the opponent's court and trophies given were named for some of the greatest players of their opponents
Defaulting on the debt—including trillions incurred under Donald Trump—could mean seniors missing Social Security checks and millions of jobs lost.
It sounds like the head of the Republican Party thinks that’s a price worth paying to elect Republicans.
