This is important to watch. It quickly goes over what happened to create the Roe down fall, but then gets to the situation we are in and what is coming. We are screwed. As one of the people said, this is a results drive court, they have the result they want and they don’t care if the law allows it, they will simply cherry pick and force it into being the current law as they wish get the result they want. In my opinion we now have a lawless court. The second time in the US and we will have them for the next forty years or maybe forever if the Democrats do not develop a spine and either expand the court to return it to the rule of law or remove the illegal justices that are on the current court.

Roe v. Wade has been overturned. So now what the hell are we supposed to do? The hosts of the Strict Scrutiny podcast — law professors Leah Litman, Melissa Murray, and Kate Shaw — are back to help Jon process the shocking decision. Writers Kris Acimovic and Tocarra Mallard also weigh in on why the Democrats answer to this crisis seems to be giving them $15.
“Rather than work with us, Democrats again are spreading fear and misinformation to score political points. That opens the door further to extreme abortion-on-demand and their agenda. H.R. 8373 is a Trojan Horse for more abortions.
“It should be called the ‘Payouts for Planned Parenthood Act!’ It would send more taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood.” – GOP Rep. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, during today’s debate on codifying to right to access contraceptives.
Rodgers is a creationist nutbag who authored Washington state’s bill that would have outlawed same-sex marriage.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) inaccurately claims the bill codifying the right to contraception is a “Trojan horse for more abortions”:
It’s absurd that, in the year 2022, Congress actually has to cast a vote on whether or not women in this country deserve access to contraception like birth control pills, IUDs or condoms. And yet, thanks to extremist members of the GOP, here we are. pic.twitter.com/45EcpCzjwB
Contraception can involve the penis. Contraception can involve the vagina
This is morally reprehensible and has no place in decent society. Once people have access to contraception, they will have sex with animals and marry their toaster. Won’t someone think of the children?
Their anti-freedom positions are so appalling, misogynistic, and hateful, Rethugs have no alternative other than to keep lying about the facts, lying about their own position, and lying about the position and goals of our side.
Read up on the history – Jerry Falwell / Paul Weyrich (Moral Majority) used abortion to drive evangelical votes to GOP when DOJ under Carter said “no government money for segregated colleges” like his “Liberty University” and Bob Jones University, which were “whites only”, even in the mid 70s.
Not just women, men too. I am pretty sure there’s more than a few men who would not want to be forced into supporting a child they weren’t expecting or wanting with a woman they maybe weren’t really wanting to have a lifetime attachment to.
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale Of a nearly successful coup That started at the end of Constitution Avenue
A congressman named Loudermilk A MAGA guy obscure Led twelve of his constituents On a three hour tour A three hour tour
One of the guys who was on that tour Who’d learned his way around Came back with the mob the very next day And stormed the Capitol grounds
It wasn’t just a protest That got somehow out of hand But a violent insurrection Meticulously planned
The president who would be king Conspired to make damn sure The rioters would lay siege that day On a three hour tour A three hour tour
The ship of state was nearly wrecked By the lawlessness and guile Of Loudermilligan The Skipper too The millionaire And the wife The movie star The Professor and Mary Ann Here on Mutineers’ Isle
Despite what Manchin and the corporate media are telling you, federal spending has actually declined. The subsidies that were part of the stimulus packages are over. If Joe Manchin was truly worried about inflation, he would support increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy to tamp down overall demand – and he would support antitrust enforcement to break up monopolies who are raising prices even as they rake in record profits. Of course, he won’t do that — those monopolists line his campaign coffers.
A new memo from U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland suggests there will not be a federal indictment for former President Donald Trump, pertaining to his conduct on Jan. 6, before the November midterms. Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard University, joins “Red and Blue” to discuss the memo.
At a Family Dollar store in Connecticut, a man held a door open for two women, then pulled a gun on them when no one said ‘thank you’. Cenk Uygur and Francesca Fiorentini discuss on The Young Turks.
“Police arrested a New Haven man after they say he was reported to have drawn a gun Saturday over two women not thanking him for holding a door open for them.
Hamden police said 25-year-old Joshua Murray was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, a felony; along with misdemeanor charges of interfering with an officer and two counts of second-degree breach of peace.
Hamden police officers were called to the Family Dollar store on Dixwell Avenue around 3:15 p.m. on Saturday after Murray was reported to have pointed a gun at customers in front of the business, police said.”
You know Rep. Katie Porter is talking nothing but business once she brings out the whiteboard and food props. The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian.
C-SPAN caller accuses Joe Manchin of being a Republican and a mole and calls for him to be taken out of Congress. The majority report crew discuss Manchin and his clearly transactional relationship with corporate donors, which has led him to sabotage the Democratic party and the Biden administration agenda. The MR crew also talk about his coded racism and corruption.
In San Bernadino, California, police exited an unmarked car and fatally shot Robert Adams after he reportedly fled and failed to comply with verbal demands, even though witnesses contest that any commands were given. Cenk Uygur and Jessica Burbank discuss on The Young Turks.
“Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting that fatally wounded a Black man on Saturday in San Bernardino, California.
They say the man was armed at the time.
The incident occurred in a parking lot around 8 p.m., and was recorded by nearby surveillance cameras.
Disturbing silent footage, which shows uniformed authorities emerge from an unmarked vehicle and shoot 23-year-old Robert Adams in the back, was shared to social media and has since sparked outrage online.
In the video, which lasts about two minutes, Adams is first seen standing at the rear of a parked car speaking to someone he seems to know. He appears to face the unmarked police vehicle and briefly step toward it, at which point two officers exit the driver’s and passenger seat doors with their guns drawn.
Adams turns to run in the opposite direction and moves just a few paces before one officer discharges his weapon.
The bullet strikes Adams in the back, and he falls to the ground. Adams was transported to a hospital where he later died from his injuries.
His mother, Tamika Deavila King, responded to the shooting and surveillance footage in comments to CBS Los Angeles this week.
Like many others on Twitter and Facebook, she questioned the officer’s decision to fire his gun.”
