Nope, the Trump administration hasn't given up on trying to ban abortion. Just this week, RFK Jr. pushed a fake report about the abortion medication mifepristone. He's peddling misinformation so he can lay the groundwork for restricting abortion access no matter where you live.

Literally speechless: ABC reports Trump will accept a luxury jet from Qatar to be used as Air Force One, then transferred to his presidential library for personal use. A foreign regime gifting a jet to a former president. It’s bribery in broad daylight.

Looks like there won’t be a vote on the budget from hell until June. Sounds like it’s not going well for MAGA Mike. Turns out gutting healthcare for sick kids, cancer patients & seniors—just to hand tax cuts to billionaires isn’t playing well in red districts. #ProtectMedicaid
