While there is a right to free speech, there is no accompanying right to be heard, neither a right to be amplified.

Republicans only believe in presidential power when the president is a Republican. When it’s a Democrat, they suddenly discover the importance of congressional oversight. Their only principle is blind partisanship. My @PostOpinions column: wapo.st/309I9ec

To the corporate hack who came up with this idiotic and offensive idea: working people care a hell of a lot more about fair wages, health care and the protections that unions fight for than they do about video games.
Don't insult your workers' intelligence, @Delta.

Alabama Senate Republicans, who just tried to sneak a law that would punish nearly all abortions by 99 years in prison without so much as a normal roll call vote, have ZERO women among their members.
Their caucus is 100% men. The only four women in the AL Senate are Democrats.

This isn't just about denying rights to the women of Alabama.
Behind the scenes, the entire purpose of the Alabama Republicans men's bill to make nearly all abortions punishable by 99 years in prison is to get the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.

As the Trump admin continues to push junk health insurance plans to gut the ACA’s protections, Democrats are fighting to pass #HR986 to protect care for Americans living with a pre-existing condition. #ProtectOurCare

"Yes, I do agree with Chairman Nadler because the administration has decided that they are not going to honor their oath of office," Speaker Nancy Pelosi says when asked if she agrees with Rep. Jerry Nadler that the U.S. is in a "constitutional crisis" abcn.ws/2HajqOe

If you’re convicted of first degree rape in Alabama, you can serve as few as 10 years in prison.
But under this new draconian law that Alabama Senators just tried to pass, if a rape victim has an abortion?
Up to 99 years in prison.

I can attest to this--"a person wanting to adopt a rescue dog often undergoes a more thorough check than a person buying an assault rifle."

And if the armed teacher is black, police will undoubtedly mistake him for the bad guy with a gun...

I wonder how many school shootings will occur from a student taking the teacher's firearm.

Bad faith. The GOP have no respect for law and order. If you can only win by lying and cheating you're actually a loser.

REMINDER: You can still get an abortion in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, and Georgia. If you need abortion care, please reach out to your local provider for information.
The laws banning abortion aren't in effect yet — and we will fight to ensure they never will be.

Dear @realDonaldTrump: FYI below.
Also, why are you suing to eliminate health care coverage for people with pre-existing conditions?

REMINDER when 47 Republican Senators reached out directly to Iran in 2015 to undermine President Obama's efforts to make a deal with Iran. If Trump prosecute John Kerry then all 47 of these GOP Senators MUST be prosecuted: edition.cnn.com/2015/03/10/p…

If anyone doesn't know, deliberate indifference to a prisoner's serious medical needs constitutes cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the 8th Amendment. Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97 (1976). But it's not a new phenomenon.
