She’s right. God doesn’t make mistakes. No one is a “mistake”.

Here’s something fun I learned this week If you find yourself in an ER in an abortion ban state and upon intake they discover you’re pregnant, from there on out your care will be different than any non-pregnant person’s. The fetus becomes primary.

Trump commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, saying out loud, on camera, that Social Security recipients should accept missing a month's payment without complaint, and calling them criminals if they did complain, should be an inescapable political disaster. And maybe already is. youtu.be/aavEmJSqJVQ

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

@maddowblog.msnbc.com Trump not following a Federal Judges order. Get used to it the SCOTUS gave the president, now Trump, a do whatever he wants anytime he wants as long as it's a presidential order so this is what we can expect this, over and over, again. Trump will pardon everyone of them.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

There's a very real question as to whether federal law will apply to Trump's allies at all during Trump's term. The atmosphere of impunity may be like nothing we've seen in our lifetimes.

Here it is from Rachel herself: Starting next Monday, Rachel is back in the 9pmET time 5 days a week for the first 100 days of the new Trump term. That will free up Alex Wagner to report from the field on the effects of the Trump's first 100 days. (And Inauguration Day coverage starts at 10amET.)

I'm writing a piece on Trumpite intellectuals making the "spiritual case" for the conquest of Greenland, that it will spur a rebirth of the "pioneering frontier spirit" in America lost in the 1890s. And seeing now they're moving Inaugural inside because it's too cold. So yeah, not so sure abt this.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
