If you skipped it last week, I urge you to read the @FT analysis, "Will American tear itself apart?"
This point is not made NEARLY often enough: "conservative" GOP women who advocate for "traditional" family hierarchy except in their own homes. #AmyComeyBarrett #rbglegacy

"What then can be done to avert a US constitutional meltdown? The distressing answer is very little... the last memorable [amendment] was passed in 1971, when America’s 26th amendment reduced the voting age to 18."

Did you hear today's episode of #TheDaily from @nytimes with Marjorie Dannenfelser and feel 🤯 listening to all the anti-choice nonsense? If so, here's the real deal on abortion in the US and why this essential health service needs to be protected. (1/x)

First, let's be clear that abortion patients are largely people like Ms. Dannenfelser: white, hetero, religiously affiliated, and who already have a child. Abortion is an experience shared by 1 in 4 American women, across demographic lines. (2/x) guttmacher.org/united-states/…
Second, abortion is a safe, effective procedure needed by many women, even those using contraception.
-18% of pregnancies in 2017 ended in abortion
-51% of abortion patients were using a contraceptive method in the month they became pregnant. (3/x)

To #MitchMcConnell and the #GOP:
THE 2020ELECTION HAS STARTED.

The next Congress should make it clear that judicial appointments if any stripe are inappropriate once the November election has begun.
I think Strom Thurmond’s summer admonition makes sense.

And in 2016, Chuck Grassley (R-IA) pointed out that “[d]uring the last four presidential election years, the last confirmation vote of a circuit court nominee occurred before the summer recess.”
It was a beautiful, sunny day in DC, with #RBG smiling down on the crowds at #SCOTUS celebrating her life.
Even if you couldn’t be there in person, know that you were there in spirit, through the heartfelt words and thanks of others. #RBGRevolution
For some, this was also a moment for politics and humor.
Cards, flowers, and candles line the sidewalk outside the Supreme Court today following the death of Justice Ginsburg. More on the fight to replace her coming up on @CBSThisMorning #RIPRBG
