The FDA approved Enovid (AKA β€œThe Pill”) as a contraceptive on May 9, 1960. JFK became president months later. So, of course, pregnancy rates were much higher than now, as birth control pills became more easily available to women.

RFK Jr. is an idiot.

This is unconstitutional and illegal. A memorandum doesn’t grant anyone the power to override the Constitution.

Trump has signed an order expanding his administration’s authority to redirect unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown,

Tweet by FactPost (@factpostnews) reading: β€œFox: The tariffs, 10% for lumber, 25% for cabinets, vanities, upholstered furniture. On January 1st, the tariff for cabinets and vanities increase to 50%, all the rest of the furniture to 30%. The cost of building materials has increased 34%. There is a concern that this is not going to be great for the home buying industry.” Below is a Fox Business screenshot showing a reporter in a lumber workshop with the headline β€œNew tariffs on furniture & lumber take effect.”

β€œNot going to be great” is quite the understatement by Fox here.

Tweet from Amy Klobuchar that reads:
β€œ27 million pounds of chicken
2 million gallons of milk
67 million eggs
That’s how much food grown by American farmers never made it to hungry families because of the administration’s decision to cancel deliveries to food banks.”
Below the text is an image showing trucks on a highway with a banner labeled β€œCANCELED” and a caption: β€œTrump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid.” The source line reads: β€œFrom projects.propublica.org.”

Trump’s tariffs and cutbacks are bankrupting farmers. He thinks they’ll keep supporting him no matter what, but his approval numbers say otherwise.

Good news, Everyone. Kristi Noem has captured the ex sister-in-law of the second cousin of the guy who once stood next to the Supreme King of Antifa.

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

Anyone else concerned about Trump quoting a dictator? This comes right after he fired 20 immigration judges without explanation.

Couldn't be clearer that Democrats aren't a party in the way that Republicans are a party. The GOP has an ideological project. They build power to accomplish specific things. The project of the Democratic Party is getting Democrats reelected. 80-90+% of Congress is, so it doesn't take much effort.

"[Issue x] is a distraction!" is a corrosive outlook. All outrages are important to fight. Nobody can fight them all, but together we can cover them all.

You telling somebody who is fighting an issue that you aren't fighting that what they're doing is a distraction is a distraction. Stop.

If the president can ignore court orders and illegally circumvent, Congress, there is no Constitution. It’s gone. There’s no enumerated right that the president can’t take from you, no law Congress can pass that is binding, and no court that can protect you from any of it. It’s the whole ballgame.

Former South Dakotan here. I have watched in fascination the evolution of Governor Gnome’s face over the years. (We were in college at the same time.)

Trump has dismissed the director of the Office of Government Ethics. David Huitema, the former director, played a key role in vetting Trump administration appointees for conflicts of interest.

So MAGA was all concerned about the cost of frivolous investigations by and lawsuits against the last administration, but all of this is OK? OK.

All of the so-called "patriots" who are cheering the felon's dismantling of DEI is indicative as to why it was needed in the first place.

That's right. There are people among us who never wanted women, the disabled, or people of color to have equal opportunities.
