Today is the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing at #Normandy, #France, where ~160k #Allied troops pulled off the largest invasion by sea in history. From that point on #America was in charge of #AlliedForces & it was the beginning of the end of #WWII
On the 1st day of #testimony in #HunterBiden’s federal #gun trial, #jurors heard his audio of his memoir, where he recounted his #drug use in graphic detail. A federal prosecutor told jurors “no one is above the #law,” & defense said the he did not “knowingly” lie when filling out forms to purchase a weapon.

The 1864 #law, which predates AZ’s statehood, permits #abortion only to save the patient’s life—& provides NO exceptions for survivors of #rape or #incest.
The law also states the age of consent for a “woman” is 10 yrs.
Another stupid #rightwing talking point has gone to hell. Remember when the wing-nuts lost their minds over their own claim that #JudgeMerchan was stopping #Trump from attending Barron's high school graduation? Yeah, well that never happened, and today Judge Merchan made clear that Trump can, in fact, attend the event. But, Trump hasn't attended any of his kids' graduations, so it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up golfing that day.
