1. Lawsuit against Alex Jones
The families of six people killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School attacks filed defamation lawsuits against right-wing conspiracy theorist and radio show host Alex Jones, who has questioned the authenticity of the 2012 shooting that left 26 dead, including 20 children.
The families of six people killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School attacks filed defamation lawsuits against right-wing conspiracy theorist and radio show host Alex Jones, who has questioned the authenticity of the 2012 shooting that left 26 dead, including 20 children.
Jones and his conspiracy theory program, InfoWars, have alleged that the Sandy Hook massacre did not happen, that is was staged by the government, and that the parents of the victims are participating in a cover-up.

Families of the victims have already experienced the tragedy of losing a loved one, now they must endure constant harassment from InfoWars fans. They have people follow them, videotape their children, deface memorials to their lost loves ones. It has been so bad that some families have been forced to move. I cannot imagine how terrible that must be.

Two Minnesota companies, Genesis Communications Network Inc and Midas Resources Inc-both privately owned by Ted Anderson, have been included in this defamation lawsuit. https://www.mprnews.org/…/minnesota-man-named-as-defendant-…
The lawsuit alleges Anderson, the head of Genesis — a talk radio syndicator — appeared many times on Jones' show to promote his other business, Midas Resources, which has sold precious metals and dietary supplements over the years.
The Sandy Hook families hope that suing Jones and the other defendants will finally put the conspiracy theory to rest, and free them from any further harassment.

Genesis Communications Network Inc., (GCN) hosts Alex Jones’ radio show. Midas Resources Inc. sells nutritional supplements, much like Alex Jones does. If you feel inclined, why not contact these businesses and ask why they support disinformation and harassment of innocent victims. Maybe add a Yelp review too.

2. Title X -Women’s Health Care
Trump has proposed a “domestic gag rule,” a change in Title X that will, among other things, cut off federal funding to health groups that perform abortions or even provide information about them. Planned Parenthood, which will be hard-hit by this rule change, sized up its significance in an email to reporters: "For nearly two decades, Title X law has been clear: Health care providers cannot withhold information from you about your pregnancy options. This rule means they can": https://www.npr.org/…/what-does-trumps-proposal-to-cut-plan…

Trump’s proposal would not just block groups like Planned Parenthood from receiving Title X funds. It also could pave the way for a host of previously ineligible organizations — some of which oppose contraception — to receive funds through the federal government's family planning program. https://www.npr.org/…/under-trump-family-planning-funds-cou…
What the heck! Providing quality health care and birth control options for women benefits everyone. This attack on women’s bodies needs to stop.

Planned Parenthood has made it easy for us to send a comment to the Department of Health & Human Services:https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/…/what-is-the-domes….
While your at it, call your members of Congress and tell them this gag rule is no bueno.

3. We’re right around the corner from another set of special elections – and we’ve got the chance to help roll back some of the damage Scott Walker has done to Wisconsin from home. On June 12, the two seats Walker tried to avoid calling special elections for are up.
