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.

Primary Every Democrat It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Democrats built their entire party structure on polite deference, seniority, and chasing bipartisanship—as opposed to elevating the most talented and passionate politicians.

...Leaving too many pale, stale (and, frankly, male) lawmakers in prominent positions.

But "Americans" have no problem with Musk's outfit in the oval office.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett understands the assignment:

"Everyday we show up for you. What we’re not going to do is stand around while they pull this bullshit that they’re trying to pull right now."

She knows who she works for and it is not for mega-wealthy donors who pay to play with our government.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

22 times Michelle Obama endured rude, racist, sexist or plain ridiculous attacks I will miss everything about her being first lady, except for the endless barrage of insults lobbed her way.
