Senator Ted Cruz thinks those of us concerned about climate change are alarmist, but he’s adamant that the nation invest in protection against space pirates
Jeff Foust@jeff_foust
Subcommittee chairman Cruz: pirates threaten the open seas, and the same is possible in space, hence need for a Space Force.

Let’s be very clear.
Alabama did not just pass a ‘law’ to criminalize abortion.
It enacted a measure it knows to be unconstitutional.
Radical pro-lifers have as little respect for the law as they do for women and their children once they leave the womb.

Ummm... I think it’s exactly who they want to kill and imprison. Because they know perfectly well people who need abortions will get them. But maybe I’m just being cynical.
Samuel Sinyangwe@samswey
The states trying to ban abortion are the states that have the highest proportions of black women living there. That’s not a coincidence, it’s exactly who these white legislators want to take reproductive rights away from.

Ben Carson’s new rule targeting undocumented tenants of public housing may evict more than 55,000 children—all citizens or legal residents. He knows this. I wrote about him doing it for a @POTUS who, once upon a time, wouldn’t have rented him an apartment. rol.st/2VC2BWC

A white woman wrote the law. A white woman governor will sign it. 62% of non-college educated white women voted Republican in 2016. This is a powerful and disgusting image, but we also have to address the complicity of white women.
Simran Jeet Singh@simran
22 Senators voted against including an exception for rape or incest in Alabama’s new draconian abortion law. Notice any similarities?

Black women are nearly 4X as likely to die as a result of childbirth, even factoring in education/income. The disparity hasn't improved over 30 years. Meet the bipartisan Black Maternal Health Caucus, backed by legislators of all genders, races, ages.

I am beyond humbled to receive an award named after Hubert Humphrey, who wrote the Civil Rights Act (at the direction of the movement) the year I was born. I accept this on behalf of the 25,000 people who stood last June to re-launch the #PoorPeoplesCampaign. #WeAreDemocracy2019

"The PAVE Act will require HAND marked paper ballots [as opposed to the machine-marked kind with barcodes] for all federal elections, and it will require Risk Limiting Audits." - Senator Ron Wyden
Thank you, @RonWyden! #PAVEACt #HandMarkedPaperBallots #StopBarcodeVoting

It’s time to secure America’s elections from hackers and foreign interference. Today I’m introducing my bill to do it. #PAVEAct

This is a key point: Elizabeth Warren welcomes Fox News to attend her events and ask her questions. She’s not taking credentials or refusing to engage with Fox reporters.
What she isn’t going to do is give them exclusive content, let them sell ads, and lend them her credibility.
Elizabeth Warren@ewarren
I’ve done 57 media avails and 131 interviews, taking over 1,100 questions from press just since January. Fox News is welcome to come to my events just like any other outlet. But a Fox News town hall adds money to the hate-for-profit machine. To which I say: hard pass.

We cannot let the Trump Admin drag us into yet another war in the Middle East. This is exactly why the President doesn't have the constitutional authority to declare war. That's Congress’s job – and that's why I'm supporting this legislation to prevent a war with Iran.
Archive: Senator Tom Udall@SenatorTomUdall
Thank you, @senwarren, for signing on as a co-sponsor of my bipartisan bill to halt the Trump administration's march to war with Iran. We can't wait until it's too late. Contact your senators & urge them to co-sponsor the Prevention of Unconstitutional War with Iran Act TODAY.

This is a critical story hardly getting a mention on national news.

A Florida election mystery deepens: Two counties, not one, were Russian targets of cyber-intrusion in the 2016 election, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday. The FBI and Homeland Security briefed him last week but made him agree, in writing, not to disclose which counties.

She is exactly right.
Fox “News” is a primary engine of democracy’s downfall. Legitimizing it in any way- even if it means reaching their zombified audience for an hour - abets it’s continuation. Truth is, that audience COULD watch another channel. They just don’t.
Elizabeth Warren@ewarren
I love town halls. I’ve done more than 70 since January, and I’m glad to have a television audience be a part of them. Fox News has invited me to do a town hall, but I’m turning them down—here’s why...
