Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
James Talarico on abortion bans: “It doesn’t seem like it’s about children. It doesn’t seem like it’s about mothers and women and girls. It does seem like it’s about control. That’s what we see across this Christian nationalist movement. This is religion at its worst. Trying to control people and what they do”
Ken Paxton has won the Republican nomination for US Senate in Texas and will face James Talarico in November.
Paxton was impeached by his own party for bribery and corruption, said the Uvalde school shooting was “God’s plan,” and offered a child rapist a 1-day jail sentence.
Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.
There is no close second in our history.

In the current context, we are seeing an actual “short circuit” of #HumanRights. The right to freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, religious freedom, and even the right to life are being restricted in the name of other so-called new rights, with the result that the very framework of human rights is losing its vitality and creating space for force and oppression. This occurs when each right becomes self-referential, and especially when it becomes disconnected from reality, nature, and truth.
Just hours after taking the oath of office, Donald Trump took down https://t.co/mM8VKA42q2 — a website to help women find health care and understand their rights.
They’re wasting no time assaulting freedom.

The Senate is poised to vote on the #RespectForMarriageAct today.
This morning, after dropping the kids off, I came home and stopped to take in the aftermath of a chaotic morning. And it got me thinking.
This is what marriage is to me. 🧵
