Three years ago today, the Supreme Court destroyed Roe v. Wade. Ever since, MAGA extremists have criminalized reproductive care at every turn. My bill with @repfletcher.bsky.social protects every woman's right to cross state lines to obtain health care.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

The Default-Parent Problem Why do so many people assume that Mom knows what’s going on with the kids, and that Dad does not?

“Schools, pediatricians, random passersby—so many people assume that Mom knows what’s going on with the family, and that Dad does not.” @olgakhazan.bsky.social investigates the default-parent problem:

Good morning !

Sending love, support and solidarity to President Biden and his family. We know he’ll face this cancer fight with the same grace, tenacity and strength he has shown throughout a lifetime of public and private battles. This man shows us what character and courage are made of.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Trump Fires Biden Appointees, Including Doug Emhoff, From Holocaust Museum (Gift Article) “Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized,” Mr. Emhoff said in reaction to the removal of him and senior Biden White House officials from the board that oversees the museum.

I was an Obama appointee to the Holocaust Museum board and served during the first Trump term. The primary mission of the museum is to advance knowledge of the Holocaust and preserve the memory of its victims. Removing Biden appointees is petty and vindictive and distracts from this important work.

🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest.

Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.

11/ The tariffs aren’t economic policy. They are political weapons.

But as long as we see this clearly, we can stop him. Public mobilization is working. Today, a few Republicans joined Democrats to vote against one set of tariffs.

The people still have the power.

Cory Booker just now as he closes in on 15 hours of his filibuster speech on the Senate floor: “How can you, in good conscience, if you’re a fiscal hawk, if you’re a Christian conservative, how could you hurt the weak to benefit the rich and powerful?”

The Trump Administration just removed the HHS report declaring gun violence a public health crisis.

Let's be clear: Taking down a report won’t change the fact that our country has a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations, or that guns are the #1 killer of our kids.
