the call is, as always, very much coming from inside the house

A man who worked as a political director for Texas Right to Life, the premier anti-abortion group in the state, has been arrested for the online solicitation of a minor. https://t.co/RU5fQbX0Ca

This week, Biden announced that his administration will be cancelling up to $20,000 in student loan debt and making adjustments to the income requirements for paying back federal loans.

Here's an explainer.

Bharat Ramamurti⁩: "Why is it, from the perspective of Republicans, great to forgive a loan of up to $10 million to a business owner, but if we want to provide $10,000 or $20,000 in loan relief to a teacher or a bus driver or a nurse, all of a sudden its socialism?"

Disgusting: After a girl beat their daughters in sports, Utah parents triggered an investigation into whether she was transgender. https://t.co/oxxYfEImOe

A judge has allowed the criminal fraud and tax evasion case against the Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg to go forward. It's scheduled to head to trial in October.

Even SUGGESTING that DOJ should walk gingerly in the face of political ire feeds the suspicion that DOJ has discretion to act or not act for political reasons.

Pay attention: The party that cheers extrajudicial convictions (“Lock her up!”) and vigilanteism (Kyle Rittenhouse) is upset the legal system is working the way it’s supposed to. Just look at the state laws they’re passing - they want lawlessness.

A 20-year-old unvaccinated man, born in the era of vaccine misinformation, is the first confirmed US polio case in 9 years. He was eligible for the vaccine between 2002-2008 and his parents refused. Antivaxxers are bringing back Great Depression diseases.

[David DeWitt @DC_DeWitt]

This is just going to keep happening.

"Two sisters, ages 10 and 13, were impregnated during rapes by the same perpetrator, authorities said."

The younger one was able to get an abortion. The older one had to travel.

This is what extremist law does.

67% of Americans favor term limits for SCOTUS justices. That breaks down to 82% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans. 43% say they have hardly any confidence in the court — up from 27% three months ago. https://t.co/Pyh1qo1lcQ

Trump understands that what made his four-decade crime spree possible is the refusal of institutions to treat his crimes as crimes, and that if those crimes are legally recognized as the monstrosities they always were, that institutional culpability will be revealed.

[Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonk]

Maybe the problem here is that elementary schools are being expected to be “adequately prepared” for something that no school can ever be adequately prepared for. Maybe we should stop asking schools to be prepared for things that we, as a society, aren’t willing to prevent.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Idk how you can learn that nearly 400 cops were at Uvalde elementary school doing nothing to confront gunman and not think that maybe, just maybe we should try another approach to public safety.
