@Walgreens @KrisKobach1787 7. In December 2022, the Department of Justice issued an opinion concluding the Comstock Act "does not prohibit the mailing of certain drugs that can be used to perform abortions where the sender lacks the intent that the recipient of the drugs will use them unlawfully." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@Walgreens @KrisKobach1787 6. The Comstock Act also purports to make it illegal to "mail" a drug that "is advertised or described in a manner calculated to lead another to use or apply it for producing abortion." — PolitiTweet.org

@Walgreens @KrisKobach1787 5. It is named after Anthony Comstock who was the "head of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice." Comstock famously arrested Ezra Heywood for mailing a copy of "Cupid’s Yokes, in which [Heywood] asserted that women should have the right to control their own bodies" — PolitiTweet.org

@Walgreens @KrisKobach1787 4. Most of the letter is a discussion of the Comstock Act, an 1873 law that has been ignored or limited by federal courts for decades. The Comstock Act "made it illegal to send 'obscene, lewd or lascivious,' 'immoral,' or 'indecent' publications through the mail." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@Walgreens 3. @Walgreens' decision comes in response to a threatening letter from 20 Republican attorneys general, including @KrisKobach1787, the Kansas AG The letter, signed by Kobach and the other GOP AGs, provides NO JUSTIFICATION for Walgreens' decision https://t.co/C5JTFFE1UN — PolitiTweet.org

@Walgreens 2. In 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court found the state constitution protected abortion rights So anti-abortion forces proposed a constitutional amendment 2 allow the state to ban abortion IT WAS DEFEATED BY A 60-40 VOTE Now @Walgreens refuses to dispense abortion pills in Kansas — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. @Walgreens has delivered a major victory to the anti-aboriton movement, refusing to dispense abortion pills in 10 states WHERE ABORTION IS LEGAL. This is part of pattern of support for anti-abortion officials by @Walgreens, including significant financial contributions — PolitiTweet.org

You can buy the same size Hershey bar (actually a bit bigger) for $1.19. But no one would know you are transphobic. That costs $6 more. — PolitiTweet.org

No subtlety at all to this. Just pure grift. — PolitiTweet.org

@perrybaconjr "There must be ways for Biden to appeal to White swing voters that don’t involve backtracking from core principles such as... D.C. home rule and a fair criminal justice system. His reelection is a big thing. It’s not the only thing." — PolitiTweet.org

As @perrybaconjr notes, Biden's purported justification for overriding DC's law is very misleading https://t.co/iqxj5ckymH https://t.co/ybKjDrxuR4 — PolitiTweet.org

5. @brendan_fischer, another campaign finance expert, told us that "if Murdoch shared a Biden campaign ad w/the Trump campaign before it ran, then Murdoch, or Fox, very likely would have made an illegal corporate contribution 2 the Trump campaign" https://t.co/CPb77MuNiI — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. There is a broad media exception to the prohibition of corporate in-kind contributions. But Rick Hasen, a law professor at UCLA and an expert in election law, says it wouldn't apply because the "ads were not shared for the purpose of newsgathering or opinion writing." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. Ghosh said the allegations against Murdoch (if proven) could constitute an "illegal in-kind contribution, warranting an investigation and possible enforcement to uphold the law and protect our elections" https://t.co/CPb77MuNiI — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. @SGhoshCLC, a campaign finance law expert w/@campaignlegal, told me that "a corporation or its agents would be breaking the law if they were to give anything of value – including intangible things like information – to a campaign or its agents in connection w/an election" — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
UPDATE: On Wednesday, Popular Information, citing 3 campaign finance experts, reported Rupert Murdoch may have broken campaign finance laws when he allegedly provided "previews" of unaired Biden ads to the Trump campaign Today, an FEC complaint was filed against Fox News 🧵 https://t.co/V9k6zY181s — PolitiTweet.org

A new bill introduced in the Florida legislature would require “bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.” — PolitiTweet.org

Gender pay gap in U.S. hasn’t changed much in two decades. In 2022, women earned an average of 82% of what men earned. In 2002, it was 80% https://t.co/ZAVIE6hVnX — PolitiTweet.org

7. @WaltDisneyCo may be keeping quiet in response to DeSantis' intimidation campaign. This week, DeSantis signed legislation revoking Disney's control of the area around Walt Disney World to punish the company for opposing the original Don't Say Gay law https://t.co/wgZq28yp2J — PolitiTweet.org
