Federal court strikes down New Jersey ban on assault rifles and large-capacity magazines

Ruling comes as supreme court is set to consider whether bans on semiautomatic rifles violate US constitution

So if they’re going to rule that we can’t restrict types of weapons, will it be okay for anyone to own a nuclear weapon?

Before you make fun of Lindsey Graham’s death, ask yourself if Donald Trump would mock the death of somebody he disagreed with and whether Lindsey would make excuses for that mockery.

Then… go right ahead and make fun of Lindsey Graham’s death.

I know I'm going to take heat for this, but here it is anyway... I'm going to go against the grain here, but I'd like to think I'm a better person than Donald Trump. I'd like to think the people in my party are better than Donald Trump. I wish we wouldn't become what we are fighting against. I'd like us to be the example of how to behave. For us to be a guide to where we can return after Trump is gone and continue forward from there, following the examples set by the Obamas. It is just as hypocritical for us to complain about what Trump did and then go ahead and do the same. This is not how I was taught to behave, nor is it how I taught my child to behave. Literally the opposite, in that we are all responsible for our own behavior regardless of how others behave. Unless it's in self-defense. This is not self-defense, this is not how people in a society that I want to live in behave.

I don't like that we are all so quick to dive down to Donald Trump's level. I'm not celebrating that Lindsey Graham is dead. But I'm not going to mourn him either. I'm not going to pretend his actions while he was alive weren't horrible. But we need to retain our decency, if we lose that, then Donald Trump won.

Warren’s Housing Act Becomes Law - YouTube

No more private equity buying up single-family homes! Woohoo! She was always my choice for President. At this point, I think we need age limits, and sadly that includes her. But as it is now, I think she is the very best of the oldies.

Across America, over 1,000 hospitals, nursing homes, maternity wards, and providers have now closed, cut services, or are at risk of doing so in the year since Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans ripped over $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to bankroll tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.

The wreckage spans every corner of the country. Hospitals have been forced to slash services, clinics have shuttered, and nursing homes have turned away the seniors who need care most. Maternity wards have gone dark, abandoning expectant moms in care deserts where delivering a baby has become a lifeor-death gamble. Rural communities are hemorrhaging jobs. Urban hospitals are teetering on the brink.

And the toll keeps mounting. More than 15 million Americans, including seniors, children, and Americans with disabilities, are at risk of losing the coverage they depend on. More than 25,000 health care workers have been laid off. Families are facing higher premiums, higher out-of-pocket costs, and impossible choices about whether they can afford care at all.

What began as the largest cut to health care in American history has become a nationwide health care crisis. One year later, the consequences of Republicans’ health care cuts are impossible to ignore as the fallout spreads, decimating the American health care system and local economies, forcing working families to pay the price.
