Cassidy Hutchinson on what Trump said about crowds & weapons on Jan 6: "I don't F'ing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. Take the F'ing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here. Let the people in. Take the F'ing mags away."

I’m seeing a lot of posts saying people will die because Roe has been overturned. That is definitely true. But perhaps not for the reasons you think.

The White House just released the first official portrait of Judge -- soon to be Justice -- Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The photo was taken by Lelanie Foster, a young black photographer from the Bronx.

I read this on @TheView.

At yesterday’s vote for #KetanjiBrownJackson, @KamalaHarris gave @CoryBooker & @ReverendWarnock, the two Black US Senators who voted for her, sheets of @VP stationary to write a letter to a girl in their life.

This is what Warnock wrote his daughter.😭

Attorney general Paxton's opinion and Governor Abbott's letter have no legal effect, can't change Texas law, and can't override the constitutional rights of Texas families.

No court anywhere in the country has ever found that gender-affirming care can be considered child abuse.
