Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who was hospitalized in early March for shingles and has remained in her San Francisco home since March 7th, has missed 60 of the 82 votes taken in the Senate so far this year. The Senate, which has been on recess since March 31st, is preparing to return on April 17th. Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin says that Feinstein’s absence will seriously impede Democrats’ ability to confirm President Biden’s judicial nominees.
With all due respect, Feinstein needs to resign immediately — or at least she should be replaced on the Judiciary Committee by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Black guy killed by police: “He was no angel. He was arrested for jaywalking when he was 16.”
White guy murders five people: “He was having a rough week.”
BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says.
The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.
The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.
The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.
The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.
This is what we need to scream everywhere:
If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.
We have the answer. It’s the guns.
BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.
A pregnant Anya Cook went to a hospital experiencing a pre-viability rupture, but because of Florida’s abortion law, the hospital would not treat her. She ended up having a miscarriage in the bathroom of a hair salon, losing half the blood in her body.

10 April 1929 | A German Jewish boy, Helmuth Press, was born in #Berlin.
He arrived at #Auschwitz on 13 January 1942 in a transport of 1,210 Jews deported from Berlin. He was among 1,083 people murdered in gas chamber after the selection.
During a road rage incident, a man shot at another man’s car and hit a 5-year-old. The other man shot back and hit a 14-year-old.
Attempted murder charges were dropped due to Florida's “Stand Your Ground” law. Permitless carry will only make this worse. https://t.co/6CBAuaMr3t
OUTRAGEOUS: At a Florida House committee meeting where several transgender Floridians and parents of transgender children spoke out against a bill that would prevent people from using bathrooms “designated for the opposite sex,” GOP Rep. @WebsterBarnaby called transgender people “demons and imps” and compared them to “mutants from another planet.”
Republican Senator Mike Lee just called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an "American hero." Let's recap what Mike Lee believes is representative of a "hero."
- Thomas is accused of sexually harassing well-respected Attorney, Anita Hill, including talking about sex with animals.
- Thomas accepted millions of dollars in luxurious gifts from a Republican donor for over 20 years, all without reporting a single dime.
- He led the charge to overrule Roe v. Wade and take away Women's rights.
- His wife Ginni Thomas is a conservative activist who propagated lies that the 2020 election was stolen.
These are the people MAGA Republicans view as "American Heroes." These are their "American Values!"
Years ago, I attended a meeting about the future of democracy at Harlan Crow’s “house” (which was staged as a museum). I left deeply shaken by the Nazi memorabilia on display. Apparently I wasn’t alone. https://t.co/AnoLUyaS5I 1/5
Just putting this out there, but Harlan Crow, the dude who has been paying for Clarence Thomas and Ginni Thomas to go on $500k vacations over the last 20 years, also owns a signed copy of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf." Here's a photo of his book below.
I'm Not saying he is a Nazi or Nazi sympathizer but who the hell would pay for a signed copy of Hitler's book to display in their home?
“Harlan and Kathy Crow are among our dearest friends, and we have been friends for over twenty-five years. As friends do, we have joined them on a number of family trips during the more than quarter century we have known them,” Clarence Thomas said.
We're going to fight it.
The Attorney General has announced @TheJusticeDept will file an appeal and seek an immediate stay of the decision.
And Congress must restore the protections of Roe v. Wade.
@VP and I are committed to protecting a woman’s right to an abortion. Period.
What's more – the court in this case has substituted its judgment for FDA, the expert agency that approves drugs.
That means if this ruling were to stand, there would be virtually no prescription approved by the FDA safe from this kind of attack.
The medication in question is used for medication abortion.
It doesn't just affect women in Texas. If it stands, it'd prevent women across the country from accessing the medication.
It's the next step toward an abortion ban that Republican elected officials vowed to make law.
Today, a federal district judge in Texas ruled that a prescription medication available for over 22 years, approved by the FDA, and used safely by millions of women should no longer be approved in the U.S.
Here's why this matters. And how my Administration is going to fight it.
Daniel Perry posted on Facebook that he might “kill a few people on my way to work,” got in his car, ran a red light, drove into a Black Lives Matter protest, and shot & killed a protester because he felt “threatened.” And Greg Abbott plans to pardon him. https://t.co/swO4NWaFj4
BREAKING NEWS: Yahoo News drops bombshell, reveals that Elon Musk's Twitter is now “amplifying” the Twitter accounts of Russian war criminal Vladimir Putin, his allies, and his closest associates.
Shockingly, Yahoo reports that “the findings suggest” that Twitter CEO Elon Musk is deliberately “lifting the restrictions designed to reduce the Russian state's social media reach, brought in after the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.”
A former Twitter executive says that it was likely a change in Musk’s policy for those accounts to be amplified again, declaring that, “It would be exceedingly unlikely that this change would have happened accidentally, or without the knowledge and direction of the company.”
Please RT to expose Elon Musk — and consider joining the exodus to my pro-democracy Twitter alternative @TribelOfficial. The community on Tribel is growing quickly, and the vibe is already way better than the toxicity and Russian propaganda on Twitter!
Tennessee Speaker Cameron Sexton has told Reps Pearson and Jones he will not allow them to be seated until 2025 even if their County Commission votes to send them back to Nashville. I have had clients appointed to the Tennessee Senate and House. I know the law. It is up to the County commission to appoint an interim Representative until a Special Election is called by Gov. Lee. Then an election will be held to fill the empty seats. That is the law. But Sexton says he will not seat these men even if they are elected. This is beyond racists fascism. This is an illegal dictator move. And Sexton is not a Dictator. @NewBlueUSA@newblueknox@NewBlueTenn #DemVoice1
Hey Republicans - if you’re trying to tell me that banning dangerous assault rifles is “an infringement on your rights” but banning safe medication which has been FDA approved for more than TWENTY years is not…
It sure as hell ain’t about “protecting rights”.
So cut the shit.
