Last night, the GOP in our state House used a party-line vote to pass a 12-week abortion ban - in a bill that was made public less than 24 hours earlier.

They want to do this so fast that people don’t notice.

Let’s make sure that plan fails.

Ralph Paul Yarl was picking up his two siblings. He went to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri. The White man who opened the door did not see a lost 16-year-old boy. He saw a threat. Shot Ralph, twice. Once in the head to kill him. Somehow Ralph survived. 1/

The red line is when Republicans ended the national assault weapons ban.

And it is hard, at least for me, not to notice the gap between the decisive response of the US Federal Government and the lack of any coherent response (other than complain and ask for help) from the VC and tech world.

This is one hell of an ad. The question is whether people will actually watch it and share it.

Here is Gen. Milley's letter of resignation as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

He never delivered it, choosing instead to try to keep a bad situation from becoming a disaster.

It's truly a remarkable document. Everyone should read it - and no one should forget it.

[Joe Posnanski @JPosnanski]

I don't know how the prospects will turn out, maybe they'll be great, but you have to say that the @Nationals has put on a master class for turning a World Series champion into bleep in two and a half seasons.

Losing Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, Anthony Rendon, Max Scherzer and Juan Soto over a 4-year span should be grounds for expulsion

The messaging needs to be clear, consistent and true. “Congress can override what the Supreme Court did and pass a law to legalize abortion. To do that, we need to elect 2 more Democratic Senators and to hold the House. Pres Biden will sign a law codifying Roe if that happens.”

[Ben Yahr @benyahr]

I. Don’t. Care. If. You’re. Christian.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Abortion is legal in California.

It will remain that way.

I just signed a bill that makes our state a safe haven for women across the nation.

We will not cooperate with any states that attempt to prosecute women or doctors for receiving or providing reproductive care.

Trump knew he lost the 2020 election, so he oversaw a scheme to overturn the will of the American people. When the Vice President refused to go along with it, he unleashed a violent mob against Pence at The Capitol.

This is the most spectacular relationship problem I have ever read, shut down all the advice columns now.

If a weapon is so dangerous that a squad of police officers are too afraid to confront a single person wielding it, that weapon should be banned.
