Kind of hilarious Senate theater going on now.

Senate Republicans voting not to recess for the weekend out of preemptive protest to Democrats not holding Mayorkas trial — and then quickly running out of the Capitol to catch their flight

I asked the Trump campaign whether he’d use Comstock to restrict abortion. They wouldn’t answer directly.

So Comstock is still an open question. Here is what you need to know about the law. npr.org/2024/04/10/124…
