It's very disturbing that a party that is willing to let women suffer & die to ensure fetuses are carried to term won't protect actual living children by restricting gun ownership in sensible ways.
A good day to remind the news media that they should talk to and platform black and brown women when discussing abortion rights. And yes, this unfortunately needs to be said.
A party that takes away abortion rights but refuses to provide support for pregnant women who need help with medical care including birth expenses, housing, food, child care & schooling, employment, etc, is most definitely not pro-life.
Congress Raskin on @TheLastWord mentions something @PreetBharara & I have discussed on @cafedotcom's Insider podcast: The possibility Trump could be elected Speaker of the House (you don't have to be a member) if the GOP retakes it. Frighteningly real given Trump's control.
Sen Cruz was far over the top w KBJ. He was going for sound bites of him making inaccurate charges against KBJ, not answers. I hear his ad now. "She won't answer my questions." That's a lie. Truth: he wouldn't let her answer. He cut her off everytime she tried to answer. Abusive.
Lord I come to You in prayer for self healing. Allow people to heal from past hurts. Give them the strength to face them and move forward. Let no pain be too large that Your healing is not enough. You are greater than anything that comes against us. Allow them to hear You.
The shame of it is that these elected conservatives are just performing for their base. They’re not serious people and these are not serious questions. It’s so performative and exposes a political system that is deeply unfixable.
Judge Jackson is at her best when’s she’s explaining the Constitution & how the text is interpreted. If she’s confirmed, her opinions will read with the clarity that helps non-lawyers in the public understand the law. We need judges like this on the Court.
