I also want to point out how critical work like this is -- literally going through years worth of medical data -- because Texas is deliberately not investigating impacts of our abortion ban

After the Alabama Supreme Court ruling which halted IVF, the Trump campaign earned a lot of headlines for saying they would make IVF "free for families." This order is nothing more than PR flimflam BECAUSE IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING.

The outrage over Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre" came when the top two officials at the DOJ resigned rather than follow his corrupt orders. These posts aren't as prominent, but their resignations should help force more attention on the insanely corrupt bargain between Adams and Trump.

Just a suggestion but maybe y'all should be doing everything in your power to let the average person who is likely in the process of filling out their taxes right now know about this and trying to stop it.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction. We all need to speak out to save lives.

Bondi's Justice Department looks poised to prosecute blue state doctors who mail abortion pills into red states, probably under the Comstock Act. She's also very likely to restrict access to medication abortion WITHIN blue states by declaring that all mailing of abortion pills is unlawful.

No coverage on broadcast TV news watched by boomers, either. Zero mention on the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, and Dallas Morning News, and Buzzfeed homepages as well. And of course Fox and OANN and Newsmax will only spin it as positive.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.
