San Antonio’s Tierra Walker, 37, asked for an abortion twice during this time, at about eight and 11 weeks. She was denied. Even worse, doctors noted in their records that she was indeed at a “high” risk of death, and discharged her from the hospital anyway.

Abdul El-Sayed gives a thoughtful answer to the moderator’s question about how he would work with the White House. But I must also say, the repeated image of Abdul answering questions from Michigan viewers on one side of the screen with the empty podium on the other also speaks 1000 words.

Judge Patrick Schiltz delivers an unusual, public rebuke to ICE focused on its hyper violent conduct targeting US citizens in Minnesota that included two unjustified homicides. What happened in Minnesota’s federal courts “created a grave threat to the rule of law.”

In a rare interview, Patrick Schiltz, who served as the federal court’s chief judge last winter, called the administration’s actions “a grave threat to the rule of law.”

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting.
But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines.
So people must mail back with plenty of time.
