If @Walgreen's is being CLEAR it should state whether it plans on dispensing Mifepristone in these states. Until it says one way or another, we have to assume the previous letters remain in effect. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Here is @Walgreen's response to @KrisKobach1787 about their plans in Kansas, where abortion remains legal. Similar letters were sent to Alaska, Florida, Iowa, Montana, Indiana, Ohio, North Dakota, South Carolina, and Utah https://t.co/Fy4eISPpW4 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Sorry but @Walgreens is not being clear. The company told the Kansas AG that it would not dispense Mifepristone in Kansas, where abortion is legal. And it made similar statements to Republican AGs in other states where abortion is legal. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlecMacGillis Violent crime in DC, 1985 to present day Doesn’t matter if you are a victim or a family member but very hard to argue that crime is “out of control” And so out of control that people of DC no longer deserve to self-govern https://t.co/4RrYpIiQ4A — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias @JustinKollar @AshleyRParker Well, she said crime was “out of control,” which doesn’t have a strict definition but I don’t think is accurate. And there is a separate question of whether having extremely long hypothetical penalties that are never imposed deters crime — PolitiTweet.org

RT @Rschooley: Tucker Carlson showing the rest of Zapruder's film to prove it was a pretty normal motorcade for the most part. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

So the argument by Tucker is that Hawley did run from the mob but other people were running too so the video was a lie? This is the best he can come up with? — PolitiTweet.org

There are a lot of other questions: Would DC's revised criminal code reduce prison sentences? Would shorter prison sentences increase crime? Should politicians from Tennessee and Delaware dictate DC's local laws? — PolitiTweet.org

Violent crime in DC is actually at historic lows. And it went down 7% in 2022 and is already down another 7% in 2023. Obviously if you are the victim of a crime in DC that doesn't help you, but Washington Post reporters and its editorial board shouldn't push false narratives https://t.co/IQ2xQJfQgv — PolitiTweet.org

@Walgreens @KrisKobach1787 9. Anti-abortion groups sent a similar letter to @Walgreens, warning that if it dispensed abortion pills it will be dragged "into a legal thicket with potential criminal legal consequences." https://t.co/A961Qrp3Ys — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@Walgreens @KrisKobach1787 8. But even if the interpretation of the Comstock Act by the GOP attorneys general was correct, it wouldn't prohibit Walgreens from distributing abortion pills. Walgreens' has its own distribution network. It doesn't stock its pharmacies via USPS https://t.co/C5JTFFE1UN — PolitiTweet.org
