New Research Details 'Human and Economic Toll' of US Abortion Bans | Common Dreams A Monday report from the Center for Reproductive Rights features various profiles demonstrating "the human and economic toll" of US abortion bans.

"The Price of Safety: Stories of Abortions Denied, Careers Disrupted, and States Left Behind" details the human and economic toll of abortion bans. The anthology uses stories from patients, doctors, business leaders, and others to show the real-world consequences of abortion bans.

Rep. Eric Swalwell gives update on deaf Hayward boy, family deported to Colombia On Monday, East Bay Congressman Eric Swalwell plans to provide an update on one Hayward family deported to Colombia.

ICE deported a Hayward family to Colombia, including a six year old deaf boy without his hearing.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social sent staff to Colombia with hearing aids for the boy, and they're working to find a way to bring the family back under humanitarian parole.

I agree that murdering these Iranian children is an unforgivable crime. I am deeply ashamed of my country and demand that Hegseth resign.

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

Federal agents lied about why they shot a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis. Their story quickly fell apart. The attack marked the only time that federal authorities admitted wrongdoing during Operation Metro Surge.

Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of β€œattempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as β€œviolent criminals.”

None of it was true.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

I would argue it was not electing Hillary Clinton. She DID win the popular vote, but lost the Big Blue Wall by 77,000 votes and thus , the Electoral College. He then appointed THREE SCOTUS judges and we’ve lost so many rights since then. They gave him immunity and women lost their autonomy.

Iβ€˜m going to a No Kings rally on March 28. Being in solidarity helps my mental health. Also, I find consuming print journalism is better than watching broadcast news.

White House: the witness’sΒ allegations are β€œcompletely baseless” and β€œbacked by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

this is also a thing Nazi U Boats were known for doing, guess Hegseth really is taking inspiration from his heroes

In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ...

The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

πŸ“ŒNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.
