@voxdotcom My son drives for UPS. In the summer delivering in outside temperatures reaching 100-115 during hottest days, they need air conditioning. These drivers are on a dead run from the time they make their first delivery until their last. Give them air conditioning!
In a twist that truly everyone could have predicted, a judge in Texas is using the Supreme Court's ruling in 303 Creative to claim that she can refuse to marry same-sex couples https://t.co/kl0VSkoUdA
Each year, lawmakers and defense lobbyists play the same game, pouring hundreds of billions into the Pentagon without scrutinizing every dollar—and it's taxpayers who lose.
Today, I invited witnesses to play JeoparDoD, to win oversight for the American people.
Florida death row inmate and convicted killer Donald Dillbeck used his final words on Earth to blast Governor Ron DeSantis, saying the Republican politician had “done a lot worse" than him.
"I know I hurt people when I was young. I really messed up," Dillbeck said, “But I know Ron DeSantis has done a lot worse.
Dillbeck continued, “He's taken a lot from a lot of people. I speak for all men, women, and children.
He's put his foot on our necks.”

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who remembers that we legislated laws for wearing seatbelts in cars, against driving under the influence, and cigarette smoking, so why are we still waking up after a long weekend to news of 3 mass shootings in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Fort Worth, TX?
Will an assault weapons ban stop ALL mass shooting deaths? No. But neither did the seatbelt law prevent ALL deaths, nor did the drunk driving law prevent all vehicular deaths.
But those deaths were reduced drastically. And the deaths were reduced drastically the LAST time we passed an assault weapons ban in the 90s.
Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States. Don't we owe it to them to try everything in our power to reduce those deaths? Especially when we have PROOF that it worked before???
BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS.
All of these Republicans are campaigning and I have yet to hear a plan to ease the burden for Americans.
I’ve yet to hear anyone speak about college debt.
I’ve yet to hear them speak about affordable housing and livable wages.
What I hear is a constant garbled anti-reality rant from Trump about an election he lost many moons ago.
DeSantis yapping about woke and pizza.
Haley trying to act like she didn’t benefit off the back of the civil rights movement.
Christie too busy attacking Trump.
Tim Tim running around thinking women are pregnant for 52 weeks.
Democrats run on policy and accomplishments.
Republicans run on lies, hate and fear.

Hey Brett Kavanaugh.
Want to talk about affirmative action and student loans?
Let’s examine how you got into Yale, shall we?
During your Senate testimony, you said “I got into Yale Law School. That’s the No. 1 law school in the country. I had no connections there. I got there by busting my tail in college.”
But, like much of your testimony, this wasn’t exactly true. 👇
You see, we found a copy of a 1928 Yale yearbook and it turns out your grandfather Everett Edward Kavanaugh also attended Yale as an undergraduate student.
So that makes you a legacy student a liar.
So to recap, you got into your grandfather’s alma mater, then went to the Law School.
That matters — because admission to an undergraduate institution can more than double a student’s chance of getting into that institution’s graduate schools.
In 2011, Yale said that up to 25 percent of its students could classified as legacy students.
Turns out, getting into college, especially Ivy League schools, is traditionally as much a matter of who you know as it is what you know.
AOC said it best, “If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.”
But of course you wouldn’t do that. It would mean you’d might have never gotten to the Supreme Court. It would have impacted the 70% of Harvard legacy students who are white - and harmed Harvard’s ability to rely on them as patrons.
So how about we also ban legacy admissions and see how people like you fare without the privilege, shall we?
If you’re outdoors in these temperatures you need to be primarily drinking water.
