John and Miranda Scholl of The Damage Report tell us about the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals (maybe) banning the abortion drug mifepristone, and the specious reasoning behind such a potentially wrongheaded and catastrophic ruling...telling to me that the wingnuts have in some cases used the Comstock Act from 1873 as a supposed justification for such an attack on women’s health care – and that IS what we’re talking about here, truth be told...
...and the issue of abortion and African American women came up at a recent U.S. House hearing with that utter numbskull Marjorie Trailer Park Greene and Amy Spitalnick, a senior adviser on extremism at Human Rights First, as David Shuster tells us; the hearing was ostensibly about right-wing violence in this country, with that clueless meat sack Greene trying to allege that those peacefully protesting in the rotunda were engaged in something akin to the January 6th insurrection (more here...and when it comes to black women and abortion, I believe this should be considered by sentient individuals with some degree of brain matter, which excludes Greene I know)...
...and if Greene and her pals want to see an example of violence for real (and yeah, I know all of their nonsense is posturing and that’s about it), Jesse Dollemore brings us this clip of former cop (and now Louisiana Repug U.S. House Rep) Clay Higgins, who apparently hasn’t left behind violent tactics despite the fact that dunderheaded voters in his district saw fit to reward Higgins with a job in the federal government...
...and sticking with legal stuff aside from abortion, Thom Hartmann gives us some interesting history on the SCOTUS and Earl Warren in particular, and the reason why that unscrupulous pissant Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society (to say nothing of Chucky Koch and his pals) keep grooming these life forms like “I Like Beer” Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Island Baby Barrett and “Strip Search Sammy” Alito to do the bidding of the one percent at the expense of the rest of us...
...and in case you thought I was done with Ron #DeathSantis...well, don’t worry, because I’m not; Chris Hayes discusses “Mr. Pudding Fingers” turning Flori-DUUH! into his own little authoritarian kingdom, with the proverbial last straw for Hayes (commendably) being #DeathSantis’s decision to block gender affirming care for all minors...and as Hayes correctly points out, this is from the same bunch yelling about “parental rights” during the pandemic...
...and Brain Tyler Cohen tells us that, in #DeathSantis’s own backyard, Dem Donna Deegan won the mayoral election in Jacksonville, Flori-DUUH! (and aside from Daniel Davis who lost, another #DeathSantis-endorsed candidate apparently went belly up in a recent primary)...
...and this More Perfect Union clip tells us about the campaign for school lunches across the country, focusing on New Mexico, with some commendable good news in that state...really vile IMO to consider that kids would have to be burdened with meal debt when all they’re trying to do is learn in what is allegedly the greatest country on earth, one that somehow can’t do anything about gun violence, protect women’s health care or ensure a reasonable, non-completely-monetized quality of life for those of us who are K-12, to say nothing of the rest of us...
...and here’s an upbeat little number to help usher in the weekend – hope it’s a good one for everybody.
