How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Why is nobody observing that this **exactly mirrors Trump’s negotiations with the Taliban and without the Afghan government**. A deal that released 4,500 enemy combatants, abandoned allies and women throughout the region, sabotaged the Afghan government, and imperiled the withdraw that was to come.

A quote today from the great Julia Davis. If Europe hasn’t figured out that Trump is bringing our 80-year collective security friendship, which has served us all well, to an abrupt and catastrophic end, you know it today. You are on your own. Act accordingly.

imagine what a weak quisling Rubio is that he cannot even explain to Trump that Russia started the war. Think about that. Utterly spineless.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

cool as hell

Someone made a very impassioned post about people condemning Tesla over Elon making an argument that many smart, decent people work there and shouldn’t suffer because of him. Fuck that. I have friends who are Feds being smeared and terrorized. I give zero fucks about Elon’s employees.

Imagine you have over $400 billion and you spend your time working to deny hungry children around the world meals to avoid starvation.

Not even six hours apart.

The #2 official at the United States Department of Justice literally gave the Stringer Bell "is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?" warning to the Manhattan prosecutors pursuing the Eric Adams case.

I wonder if you could arrange a road trip that allowed you to recharge only at protest locations.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Stephen A saying he would divorce Serena Williams for cripwalking for Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance is hilarious considering how hard he tap dances for Hannity’s show

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

Senator Brian Schatz on RFK Jr.: "He is a unique danger to society." Nailed it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

"No white people during Kendrick's halftime show? So much for diversity" Oh you didn't hear? DEI got canceled. He clearly hired the best people for the job 😌

Eric Adams pretty much agreed to sidestep NY sanctuary protections, & make his city's immigrant residents more vulnerable to iCE, in pursuit of naked personal gain & a shield from corruption charges.

Make the Trump Administration, Elon Musk, and his “DOGE” bros prove that they are in compliance with the existing federal court orders. Put some teeth on these court orders. Non-compliance=contempt of court

Oops 😬

Monstrous.

You aren't letting anyone down by taking a day off from the news. The shitshow will be there tomorrow. Others can churn rage on your behalf while you breathe and keep yourself safe. You are not doing patriotism wrong by ensuring you don't lose your mind every single moment of every single day.
