Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said Friday on “MSNBC Reports” that the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade meant access to contraception, marriage equality, clean air, and clean water are now on the line. Coons said, “I was speechless when I heard just in the last hour that a conservative majority on the Supreme Court has struck down a 50-year established liberty, a right of freedom, and has changed the lives of tens of millions of American women, and will make even more unequal access to reproductive health care.” He continued, “I’m left wondering, what else is next with this activist conservative majority? What other well-established long-standing rights to privacy to freedom are at risk. This is a day I will never forget where I was when I heard this Dobbs decision came down. It’s hundreds of pages. I have not read through it yet, but my understanding from my chief counsel is that the concurrence by Justice Thomas points the way to even more grave … [Read more...] about Coons: Access to Contraception, Marriage Equality, Clean Air, Clean Water on the Line After Dobbs Ruling

(CNN) — “Loot” sounds like a one-note joke on paper — ha ha, an Apple TV+ comedy loosely inspired by the Bezos’ family drama — that doesn’t gain much depth during the first episode. Stick with it, though, and this showcase for Maya Rudolph as a billionaire minted through divorce becomes a sweet if fairly conventional romantic comedy with a few welcome surprises. After an introduction by way of the couple’s mega-yacht, Rudolph’s Molly Novak is rudely awakened from her enviable life when she discovers the infidelity of her husband (Adam Scott). Faster than you can say “Mackenzie Scott” (the former Mrs. Bezos, and a major philanthropist), she’s on her own, with $87 billion (ballpark) to console her.

16 Business Report underscores fears inflation has spread beyond energy and goods, whose prices are driven up by supply chain issues and Ukraine war. Associated Press , News Partner Posted Replies WASHINGTON — The prices of gas, food and most other goods and services jumped in May, raising inflation to a new four-decade high and giving American households no respite from rising costs. Consumer prices surged 8.6 percent last month from a year earlier, faster than April's year-over-year increase of 8.3 percent, the Labor Department said Friday. The new inflation figure, the highest since 1981, will heighten pressure on the Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates aggressively. On a month-to-month basis, prices jumped 1 percent from April to May, much faster than the 0.3 percent increase from March to April. Contributing to that surge were much higher prices for everything from airline tickets to restaurant meals to new and … [Read more...] about Inflation Hits New 40-Year High As Price Increases Spread

By Katy Tur Atria/One Signal. 272 pp. $28. - - - Katy Tur, an MSNBC anchor, gained prominence as a reporter during the 2016 presidential campaign, when Donald Trump plucked her from obscurity to taunt her at rallies as "little Katy," a "third-rate reporter," an exemplar of the media he despised. Tur withstood repeated abuse with remarkable aplomb, won a major journalism award and detailed her experience in a best-selling campaign memoir, "Unbelievable." Now, in a second memoir, "Rough Draft," Tur makes clear why she was especially well equipped for that bruising experience. She was raised in Los Angeles by parents who were pathbreaking journalists and prepared her for a thrilling life of chasing news. But Bob Tur - who came out as transgender in 2013 and became a woman, Zoey - was also a volatile, sometimes violent father who subjected their family to fits of rage and abuse. This is a case study in the blessings and curse of family legacy, a vivid account of how one … [Read more...] about Book World: NBC’s Katy Tur took abuse from Trump; it reminded her of her childhood

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision allowing states to ban abortion immediately stirred alarm Friday among LGBTQ advocates, who feared that the ruling could someday allow a rollback of legal protections for gay relationships, including the right for same-sex couples to marry. In the court’s majority opinion overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, Justice Samuel Alito said the decision applied only to abortion. But critics of the court’s conservative majority discounted that statement. And in a separate concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas said the court should review other precedents, including its 2015 decision legalizing same-sex marriage, a 2003 decision striking down laws criminalizing gay sex and a 1965 decision declaring that married couples have a right to use contraception. “Let’s just be clear. Today is about this horrifying invasion of privacy that this court is now allowing, and when we lose one right that we have relied on and enjoyed, other rights are at … [Read more...] about With Roe dead, some fear rollback of LGBTQ and other rights
