Those defending ambiguous medical exceptions in abortion bans regularly suggest that the problem is not the ambiguities, but doctors narrowly construing them.

And yet, here’s Texas AG Ken Paxton threatening doctors with civil and criminal liability for FOLLOWING A COURT ORDER.

Cannot overstate what a crisis this is for the Roberts Court. Thomas helped raise money for one of the largest political organizations in the country, and then defended the right of this organization to keep its activities hidden.

BREAKING: The Raise The Age bill just passed 8-5 out of committee in Texas!!

Survivors of Uvalde and Moms Demand Action pushed hard to make 21 the minimum age to buy an AR-style rifle. Today was the LAST DAY to get it done. And they did!

The NRA knows this is huge because, if sane gun reform can be done in Texas, it can be done ANYWHERE in America.

But the NRA is hoping people will forget about this victory. They want us to be shocked into silence, feeling hopeless.

That's why it's CRITICAL to get the good news out, and make sure it does NOT end here.

House Bill 2744 not only raises the age to 21, it also prohibits selling guns to someone who's intoxicated or has an active protective order. Finally.

Change is coming to my home state of Texas. We will win.

You co-authored the 2021 #txlege permitless carry bill, you feckless coward.

This is your reminder that @GregAbbott_TX cut $211 million in mental health funding.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make. Tens of thousands of food-insecure kids will benefit.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Children stitch “Made in America” tags into shirts for J. Crew. They bake dinner rolls sold at Walmart and Target, process milk used in Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and help debone chicken sold at Whole Foods.

In the U.S., migrant child labor is everywhere. https://t.co/ZQzCpdcVX0

[Hannah Dreier @hannahdreier]

The US is seeing an unprecedented wave of migrant child labor right now.

Thousands of kids are working overnight in dangerous factories for brands like Cheerios, Fruit of the Loom and Ford. They're here alone and they're being failed in the most basic way.https://t.co/5IlCNTjGdh

This decision, issued yesterday, holding that a lesbian spouse is not a parent of her child, is a poignant reminder of how vulnerable LGBTQ families are, *especially* in this post-Dobbs world. https://t.co/OJLjX7EzOr

THIS is one of the most shocking jail lawsuits I've seen: An mentally ill man with an IQ of 55 who was being held on $1000 bail literally *starved to death* in an Arkansas jail.

They put him in solitary, he decompensated - and he died. THREAD: https://t.co/ZYMoZrV3IW

[McKenzie Edwards @mckeds]

A Texas jail volunteered to let Comedy Central comedian Jeff Ross roast its inmates. It encouraged inmates to participate. Texas then used the footage to sentence my client, Gabriel Hall, to death.

We’re asking #SCOTUS to review the constitutionality of Mr. Hall’s sentence.

[ACLU of Alaska @ACLUofAlaska]

If ICWA is overturned, not only would tribes be stripped of their right to keep their families together and care for their children, but it would also open up the door for other tribal rights to be challenged and put the existence of tribes as sovereign nations at risk.

It's official. I will be the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania.

We bet on the people of Pennsylvania - and you didn’t let us down 

And I won’t let you down. Thank you.
