Seriously awful and very well reported. If you’re a woman with the option to go through pregnancy (or even childbearing years) inside or outside of TX, you may want to consider this—your chances of dying really go up significantly there until this law is changed.

Great news! sorry, Mango Mussolini, but you can't call for judges to be impeached simply because they ruled against your insane actions. Impeaching a federal judge requires proof of high crimes and misdemeanors like all those expensive trips your buddy Clarence Thomas took on Harlan Crow's dime.

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.

I was just at the Lincoln Memorial with thousands of concerned Americans and MAD scientists. And they’re right to be mad: Musk and Trump have declared war on science — gutting agencies that do lifesaving work for Americans, like NIH and NOAA. We're fighting back with all we've got.
