Posted to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: The New York City skyline has never been more beautiful—and meaningful—than it was in this 1956 Good Friday photo.

From the president of the America Medical Association: Today’s court decision from a federal district court in Texas staying longstanding approval of mifepristone flies in the face of science and evidence and threatens to upend access to a safe and effective drug that has been used by millions of people for more than 20 years.

“These guys are so far removed from the truth, so far removed from any of the values that made this country great. We can’t really have partnership with them.

Posted to the FRC’s Washington Stand blog: What DeSantis didn’t know is that on February 8, Disney officials had met and signed a hush-hush agreement that stripped Florida of its powers before the new board even convened.

Via email from hate group leader Monica Cole: The newest XIAFLEX commercial is inappropriate for obvious reasons, including airing when children are likely watching television.

Posted today to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: It’s a shameful day for America as former President Donald J. Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury.
