OMG!!!
"The Trump Indictments" by me and @AWeissmann_ is #1 on the @nytimes Bestsellers List!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the great folks @wwnorton and all of the readers who bought the book!!
"And ... for my daughters... I admit that I did not always get the [work/motherhood] balance right... but I love you so much."
OMG. I feel this in my bones.
Y'all. Justice Sotomayor can count votes. She knows where this is headed... either viability is gone or Roe is gone.
Her questions are for the public... to let us know that abortion isn't the end. It's just beginning of the unraveling of these other rights of intimate life.
my terrible theory is that the reason married men with kids do so well in business is because married men with kids understand how interpersonal dynamics work across gender gaps and power differentials
My mother-in-law & Kamala Harris are sorority sisters. My sister-in-law & Kamala Harris are sorority sisters. This woman who was in my senior year English seminar @UVA & Kamala Harris are sorority sisters. AKA has millions of members. KH & LD aren't even line sisters. Try again.
Narrator voice:
1. The King and Queen of England are divorcees
2. The House of Windsor was until WWI the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha because they were German (before that it was the House of Hanover--also German)
3. QE2's husband, Philip, was born in Greece
4. Google is free
I hope folks know where to place the blame for the failure of student loan forgiveness. Say what you will about Joe Biden, but he did what he promised. And it was absolutely undone by the Court that his predecessor built.
My mom passed away 2 days ago. It is shattering to lose the person who was the absolute constant in my life. She was a remarkable woman who collected friends wherever she went and loved being of service to others. I will love and miss her forever.
I'm old enough to remember when Gloria Reuben left ER, at the height of the show's popularity, to be a backup singer on Tina Turner's 24-7 tour and the entire industry was like, "yes, #goals."
Teasing @Tim_Walz for providing free sanitary napkins and tampons just underscores your antipathy for women.
So much for being fathers of daughters๐
Kamala Harris allegedly got caught wearing a $62,000 necklace while asking people to donate.
This image has been surfacing on social media. What do you think?
The @nytimes headline really buries the lede. โฆ@jodikantorโฉ & โฆโฆ@Jo_Beckerโฉ's reporting reveals a highly coordinated effort to influence SCOTUS justices. THAT is the story. Also, why is this breaking on SATURDAY morning, @nytimes? nytimes.com/2022/11/19/us/suโฆ
On a cross-country flight and my (unmasked) seatmate asks to use my USB charger. I agree... if he'll wear a mask. He agrees! And apparently, free markets are the answer to everything. Am I a libertarian now??
OMG
Harris had to have a โmock dinnerโ before going to a real dinner party because she knew sheโd be in over her head.
This is the candidate Democrats believe will bail them out.

Justice Thomas saying the quiet part out loud... substantive due process rights originate in the discredited Lochner doctrine...
this won't stop at abortion. All of the rights linked to SDP are at risk with this Court.
Addendum: These two septuagenarians will certainly retire if Trump is elected... and they will be replaced with younger movement conservatives... meaning this 6-3 conservative super-majority will extend to the next generation and a half.
Justice Clarence Thomas is 75. Justice Alito is 74. They are getting older and will retire soon.
If Biden is re-elected and they retire, he gets to select their successors meaning a liberal Supreme Court.
Thatโs a good reason to vote for Biden in 2024.
Reports of hang-wringing about Walz from "the business community"....
But if I'm not mistaken, Minnesota has long been home to several blue chip companies--3M, Target, Best Buy, General Mills, United Health etc.--who remain in the state. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
This is huge. When my mom was suffering from Alzheimer's, sorting out care for her was so difficult, heart-wrenching, and expensive. The need for eldercare is skyrocketing. This proposal would be an enormous assist to families (daughters) who are called on to shoulder this work.

Maybe Kate's prolonged and worrisome convalescence *wasn't* the right time for (her uncle) Gary Goldsmith to go on "Celebrity Big Brother?"
There. I fixed it for you, @CaitlinPacific!
Just read the warrant and the inventory list. That's a lot of miscellaneous secret/top secret documents.
And this is someone that almost half the country thinks should be our president.
The bar is so low, it's in hell.
Noting that this is not a headless angel, but the Nike of Samothrace will get me tagged as elitist. But in fact, I'm just a FL girl who rode her bike to the library to read encyclopedias and dream about a bigger world.
This is why we need to let kids read what they want. FFS.
This is really interesting. For so long, Thomas, as the only Black person on the Court, has gotten to frame race issues for his colleagues with very little pushback.
With KBJ on the Court, there's a competing voice and perspective on race. And he has to respond to her views.
Just read @ezraklein's latest in the NYT and ... seriously, what did I just read? The answer to this question is obvious. Aside from the women bleeding out in parking lots and the ravages of a deadly pandemic, it wasn't "so bad" because TFG wasn't prepared. They're prepared now.
Y'all.
I spent this morning chatting with THE BEST CHRIS (@ChrisEvans) and @MarkKassen about the post-Dobbs reproductive rights and justice landscape.
Is this what it feels like to capture all of the infinity stones? Obvs, yes.
Our convo drops on Monday, Details below!
NEW: On Monday, August 1st at 12PM ET, NYU Law Professor @profmmurray joins ASP's @ChrisEvans and @MarkKassen for a Chat on abortion law and reproductive rights featuring questions from our viewers across the country.
Justice Jackson subtweeting the Court's originalists with a meditation on the "history and traditions" of the Fourteenth Amendment's antislavery ethos. I wish she'd been on the bench for Dobbs.
The best part of this tweet is its complete disregard of facts. Conservative billionaire Richard Uihlein pumped floods of cash into Ohio to support Issue 1.
The projection is staggering.
๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ Hey, @DailyMailUK, if a gainfully employed woman eating a $20 kale salad makes you clutch your pearls in outrage, you're gonna die when I tell you a guy who owns a golden piano and an actual castle ordered a brand new coach for his first day running the family business.
This will not be like the pre-Roe landscape. It will be worse. The only way to enforce these bans is to rely on a surveillance state. And we now have to technology to do just that. Buckle up, folx.
10 states where abortion is now illegal have sent Google more than 5,700 demands for location tracking data since 2018.
There's growing alarm about how police or prosecutors could use that data to target abortion providers or people seeking the procedure. politico.com/news/2022/07/18โฆ
Heads up: This is the strategy. They don't need to win Congress. They just need to win the presidency and then the new DOJ can prioritize the enforcement of the Comstock Act (a law that was enacted in 1873 and has been unenforced, tho still on the books, for much of our lives).
The comments on this tweet are insane. The idea that increasing the number of Black doctors necessarily means compromising quality and foregoing excellence and expertise makes it so clear how deeply ingrained anti-blackness is.
Fetal personhood watch. Young "was arrested this morning on charges of battery and assault against an unborn child," who presumably was being gestated by a live person who went unmentioned.
Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young was arrested this morning on charges of battery and assault against an unborn child.
He is the 7th Georgia football player to be arrested this year.
1) State charges so no chance of a federal pardon if convicted.
2) Charged under GA RICO statute, which carries a min 5 year sentence.
3) 18 others charged... which means, given the 5 year min for RICO, lots of opportunities for folks to flip and cooperate.
Senate Candidate Kelly Tshibaka talks with supporters about using the USPS to prosecute citizens using the morning after bill and moves on to birth control.
Such a pleasure to discuss the changing repro rights landscape with @ChrisEvans@MarkKassen and these terrific students. Many kudos to the @ASP team who coordinated everything! Check it out!
WATCH NOW: @NYULaw Professor @profmmurray joins ASP to answer student questions about abortion, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights at the state level, and more. Watch: l8r.it/iEiC
So now the question is, did Gary Goldsmith know his niece had cancer when he decided to be in Celebrity Big Brother in the middle of Kateโs health emergency?
Meghan has nothing to do with this. Leave her alone.
So now the question is, did Meghan Markle know her sister-in-law had cancer when she decided to launch her lifestyle brand in the middle of Kateโs health emergency? Lol.
Melissa Murray, NYU Law Professor explains how women could lose constitutional rights if judge #Kavanaugh ends up on the Supreme Court. "We can make the protections of Roe utterly meaningless..." #KavanaughHearings
FYI coastal CA can be cold and damp in the summer b/c of the marine layer. It's not unusual for CA residents to wear heavy layers in the morning or evening.
But even without the temp change, if someone wants to wear clothes SHE bought, that's her business, not yours.
Just your weekly reminder that this won't end with abortion.... protections for same-sex marriage, contraception, and individual autonomy that are not explicit in the Constitution are up for grabs, too.
This really did not get the attention it deserved today.

Announcers for this Eagles-49ers game just spotted the First Lady in a box and of course call her โDr. Jill Biden.โ Wonder if she realizes what a wannabe she looks like insisting on this fake title. Get a real MD or just work on your self-esteem.

Not to make everything about SCOTUS, but the GOP super-majority that voted 72-25 to expel @brotherjones_ is a result of partisan gerrymandering and other anti-democracy efforts that SCOTUS has blessed.
A dictatorial, unelected majority in the Supreme Court has just rendered America a dictatorial president above the law. Thank you Hillary Clinton, whose blundering campaign let the dictatorial Trump become president and led to a rightwing dictatorial majority on the Supreme Court. -R
Some initial thoughts on Allen v. Milligan.
Media is trumpeting this as a "victory" for the Voting Rights Act. And it is. And I don't want to be a turd in the punchbowl... but this is pretty weak sauce from this Court.
