Todd Blanche Just Opened the Door to a National Abortion Ban – Mother Jones

The 19th-century law made it a federal crime to mail, possess, give away, or sell “obscene materials”—including items used for abortion. Parts of the law relating to birth control were repealed in 1971, but Comstock was never repealed in its entirety. When abortion providers started prescribing pills to patients in states where abortion was banned thanks to “shield” laws, anti-abortion activists argued that this was a violation of the Comstock Act. Project 2025 also called for criminal prosecutions of abortion pill providers under Comstock, though the document only references the law by statute number, not by name. 

In response, a December 2022 opinion from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel said it was not illegal for the U.S. Postal Service and other carriers like FedEx and UPS to deliver abortion medications to states that ban abortion, and that Comstock did not apply unless the sender intended pills to be used unlawfully. That interpretation has reassured abortion providers that they can prescribe pills across state lines without fear of federal prosecution...

Ted Cruz ensured Trump spending bill slashed weather forecasting funding | Texas floods 2025 | The Guardian

"Ted Cruz has spent years doing big oil's bidding, gutting climate research, defunding Noaa, and weakening the very systems meant to warn and protect the public,' said Cassidy DiPaola, communications director of Fossil Free Media. 

"That's made disasters like this weekend's flood in Texas even more deadly. Now he's doubling down, pushing through even more cuts in the so-called big beautiful bill. Texans are dead and grieving, and Cruz is protecting big oil instead of the people he's supposed to represent. It's disgraceful." 

 Cruz, who has previously cast doubt over the scientific reality of the climate crisis, said that complaints about cuts to the National Weather Service are "partisan finger pointing", although he conceded that people should've been evacuated earlier...

Ted Cruz says God requires we support Israel. Is he right? Tucker Vs Ted Cruz: The Israel Throwdown (Data Over Dogma podcast)

Forget the fourth of July- if you want real fireworks, you gotta check out the incendiary interview between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz. It was... a lot. But when two insufferable gasbags collide that hard, you're going to get a gas giant explosion. Just be glad you couldn't smell it.

One of the points of contention had to do with Israel, and Cruz's insistence that the Bible commanded him (and all believers) to take care of it. Ol' Ted might not have known what the exact scripture was, but he was positive that it said that he had to defend Israel no matter what. Tucker had a different take.

So is that what the scripture says? Are believers obligated to back the actions of Israel because the Bible says so, or is there more to the edict in Genesis?

Then we head to the nine verses of Psalm 137 to explore one of the more disturbing imprecatory prayers in the Bible. It couldn't really mean that it wants people to dash children against a rock, right? That's gotta be just a metaphor, right? Right???

Jon Stewart: Tucker Carlson is right on Iran

"You're a senator who's calling for an overthrow of the government and you don't know anything about the country," Carlson exclaimed in response to Cruz's difficulty answering a question about the population of Iran. Cruz called the line of questioning "snide."…
