If you submitted a creative writing assignment where a guy described pardoning a sex trafficker in the same language he used to brag about sexually assaulting women, your professor would kill you with a gun

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

"I looked into our insurance and, oh my goodness, it's just going to take half my check to pay insurance," said mother Julianna Mascarenas. Medicaid has helped her cover her family for years. "Then how do I live? Do I insure my kids or do I keep a roof over their head?" www.npr.org/sections/sho...
In this rural Colorado valley, cuts to Medicaid would have vast ripple effects
Cuts to Medicaid moving through Congress would shake up health care in the scenic San Luis Valley — with negative downstream effects on local jobs, businesses and education.

Congress has the sole power to declare war – full stop.
The idea that the US would potentially deploy a bunker buster bomb in Iran w/out Congressional approval not only flies in the face of our Constitution, it would also rope us into another forever war that Americans do not want.

I've been briefed on the intelligence - there is no evidence Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States. That makes this attack illegal.

The United States should not wage war against Iran.
Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.
This is a horrific war of choice.

Perryman: Let’s be clear: the attacks on lawyers are blatantly unconstitutional. Every single federal court that has considered the executive orders naming law firms has issued orders to block them because they are patently unlawful.
