Some rare great abortion news in tonight’s newsletter:

- A federal court ruled that the FDA violated the law by imposing unnecessary restrictions on mifepristone

- The New York Supreme Court rejected Texas’ attempt to issue a judgement against an abortion provider here

Happy Halloween!

Shapiro: I just heard from a woman who spoke at the press conference where I announced the disaster declaration. She’s got 30 bucks left on her SNAP card to get her through the holidays here in November…

The great dividers want you to think the problems in society are caused by migrants and refugees.

They’re wrong.

The problems in society are caused by an unjust economic system that protects the interests of the super-rich.

A partial list of what Bovino does not have to tell a federal judge happened today:

*Agents were involved in a car crash in Evanston
*An agent pointed a gun at a woman in Evanston

Clearly Trump intends to stay in the WH 2028. I hope there’s a 2028 plan to hire & approve trying Trump & his cronies for financial crimes snd crimes against humanity. And plans to create specific laws to assure we never have a king again while reforming SCoTUS from politicization.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

We don’t need the Heritage Foundation’s opinion on nuclear testing. They should go read a Bible instead and try to figure out why their master plan is to starve children and take away health care from the elderly.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

Remember when Texas Dems broke quorum & in response TX AG Paxton & Gov Abbot demanded their arrest & removal from office?

Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of last 100 days, absent since Sept 19, & he still won't swear in Rep-elect Grijalva.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.
