#January6th public hearing is June 9, 8 p.m. This is must-watch TV. Only 6 days total, so tune in. Watergate was 51 days, and GOP held 33 Benghazi hearings. Nothing is more important for America’s future as a free #democracy. @MasonMornings @SXMPOTUS via @SIRIUSXM @juliemason

As we move into June and July, we will begin to see the Supreme Court release important decisions—including those dealing with the hot topics of abortion and gun control.

Alito's draft indicated that the Supreme Court will soon overturn the right to abortion in the upcoming Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health case. As seen in the leaked opinion, the right to abortion is vulnerable as it stands now. In The Atlantic, I suggest a reframing of abortion under the Constitution from an individual right to a restraint on government from interfering in sacred personal spaces.


In the wake of the recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, we are once again forced to reckon with the gun problem in this country. In a starkly divided nation, we have to find some sort of common ground—our children's lives depend on it. I'm sharing an article I wrote for The Hill about Child Access Prevention laws that anyone across the spectrum of political beliefs should be able to get behind. 

Getting to the root of gun violence in America isn't simple, but it starts with being able to have hard conversations with each other about nuanced issues. In another piece I wrote for The Hill, I spell out some common Second Amendment myths that frequently surface in these discussions. 

Lastly, I'm excited to share my conversation with Kirby Wilbur, is a former radio host, conservative political activist, and proud gun owner. Together we explore how the left and right can come together and find solutions that will protect our children from gun violence.

The #DeppHeardTrial verdict for Depp was no legal slam-dunk, for these reasons: (1) Depp--not Heard--had the burden of proving that her statements were false, by a relatively high standard, "clear and convincing evidence" /1
