In Houston, conservatives want to charge women who seek abortion care as murderers and ban IVF.
In San Antonio, conservatives want women to give up their right to vote.
Just another weekend in GOP-dominated Texas.

CNN = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
CBS = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
FOX = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WaPo = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WSJ = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”
🚨 BREAKING: Trump Ally Bari Weiss set to take over CNN after Paramount-Warner Bros merger is complete.
Bari Weiss currently leads CBS, and is expected to serve as lead for both media organizations in the future.

I never thought I’d see the day David Frum started tweeting out the playbook he used to lie America into the Iraq War

1) Cover it up.
2) If the cover up fails, falsely deny it.
3) If the false denials are refuted, try to discredit the people who exposed you.
4) If discrediting the exposers doesn't work, complain that opponents are weaponizing the exposure against you.
5) If the weaponization complaints aren't accepted, declare that you've taken full accountability for your past mistakes.
6) And then the next time it happens - repeat steps 1-5.

Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.

The Trump Administration has broken America's promises to all our Allies at the bidding of Russia. Beth Van Duyne will also vote for Russia instead of for the Ukrainian Support Act. Call her to tell her we support freedom and democracy around the world.

Not weird or suspicious at all.

WAKE UP, AMERICA.
The Supreme Court majority just admitted it’s a PARTISAN operator willing to TORCH the rule of law to advance its ideological agenda.
In an unprecedented move with a brief UNSIGNED order, it: 1) IGNORED the central basis of the lower court’s decision, 2) DISREGARDED its own precedent (that it had assured just weeks ago remained good law), and 3) REWARDED Alabama's defiance of a federal court order.
All to help Republicans squeeze out one more seat in the midterms. And on Election Day for millions of Americans no less!
This is sick.
“Power, not reason, is the new currency of this Court's decisionmaking.” — Thurgood Marshall

Today's news of the shuttering of @thebarbedwiretx is a blow to the landscape of Texas journalism. We’ve had the pleasure of working with their contributors and they are SUPERB. We know all too well how hard it is to sustain nonprofit media in this state.
