Two women have died in Texas in the last month because complications from miscarriages and failure to promptly provide the requisite medical treatment. This is because of Donald Trump’s Supreme Court overturning 5 decades of precedent. Vote for Kamala Harris to save women’s lives.

[Colin Allred @ColinAllredTX]

This is tragic. My heart goes out to Nevaeh's family.

Texas doctors can’t do their jobs because of Ted Cruz’s cruel abortion ban. Cruz even lobbied SCOTUS to allow states to ban life-saving emergency abortions.

We can't afford 6 more years of Ted Cruz.

Another woman died unnecessarily because of abortion bans today, but Trump rode garbage truck so…race is tied.

I don’t care how much eggs cost. I’m not voting for a man who admires Hitler.

New ad from the Harris campaign on reproductive freedom, ahead of the VP's speech in Texas on Friday. This is a very tough one to watch, but it's incredibly important to. Thank you so much to Ondrea and Ceasar for trusting us to share their story.

“I need the kind of generals that Hitler had”: In the closing days of his presidency and the years since, Donald Trump has grown more enamored of the advantages of dictatorship, and the control over the military he believes that it would deliver, @jeffreygoldberg reports: https://t.co/oXRxe6eKoF

Since the fall of Roe, states with abortion bans have seen their maternal death rate increase dramatically.

Trump and Vance’s answer: Let the women die.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

A Christianity rooted in patriarchy will always define women first and foremost by their relationship to men.

A Christianity rooted in the gospel of Jesus will always see women first and foremost as fellow human beings created in God's image.

May we understand the difference.🧵

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

This guy is not fringe. This is a mainstreamed, well-known, Christian nationalist calling for the public execution of women. It really doesn’t matter how you feel about Donald Trump, tax policies, or the economy. If we allow these people power, we are in danger.

Allred: Senator Cruz just called himself pro-life. You’re not. It’s not pro-life to deny women care so long that they can’t have children anymore… To every Texas woman at home.. when he says he’s pro-life, he doesn’t mean yours

Rick Crawford hasn't held a town hall in over a decade & now he's suing to RAISE his congressional salary.

[DPA Chair Marcus Jones @MarcusforAR]

“A strong nation protects women's rights. It does not invade their exam room. And right now, my 19-year-old daughter has less rights in this state than her grandmother had 50 years ago.

We have no exceptions in our state currently for rape, for incest, for fatal fetal anomalies. We have
no exceptions for health of the mother. That is simply cruel.

Congressman Hill has said before that he supports those exceptions. He has done nothing to support women. Done nothing.

How powerful would it have been for a Republican congressman from a southern state to have identified those basic reproductive rights and entered that as a bill? Instead, we've had lip service.

When I am in Congress, I will support women's rights.” #ColonelvsCongressman

AG Ken Paxton asks the Supreme Court to allow Texas to continue to refuse emergency medical care to pregnant women. https://t.co/RMrVfs1ckk

[ProPublica @propublica]

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage & neurological problems, from their reports — and in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

George Clooney, Mark Hamill, Mark Cuban, & countless other celebrities have shown support for Kamala Harris. So why does Trump only hate Taylor Swift? Because he hates accomplished, successful women who oppose him.

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

As a traveler, I'm both a proud American and a citizen of the world — and I've got a few thoughts on this coming election.

This election is deeper than partisanship. It's far more than Republican versus Democrat. In the future, big challenges like pandemics, refugees, and climate change will be blind to borders. They'll be everyone's problem and only solved by working together as a family of nations.

The world needs not American isolation, but American leadership. Not the chaos of Trump, but the stability of @KamalaHarris.

Of course, how you vote is your choice. But if you believe, as I do, in the importance of nations working together constructively, the stakes are really high...and the best candidate is clear. Register to vote today at https://t.co/ghTvEdFIEP — and encourage your travelin’ friends to do the same!

[I Smoked Mitch McConnell's Brain @BlackKnight10k]

The media deciding to talk about how amazing President Biden is NOW THAT HE IS NO LONGER IN THE RACE is making me lose my mind.

Like where was this shit 3 weeks ago. Snakes in the grass.

[Roger ZenAF 🖕🐸🖕 @RogerZenAF]

In the last eight hours the main stream media has published more information about President Biden's accomplishments than they have for the last year.

Fuck. Them.

McCarthy on CNN on Gaetz: "He looks very unhinged. A lot of people have concerns about him, and I'm not sure if he was on something. But I do hope that he gets the help that he needs. More importantly, I hope the young women get the justice they deserve when it comes to him."
