Trump adds pressure to pass the SAVE America Act, with new anti-trans provisions The president said he won't sign new legislation until Congress adds voter ID and mail-in ballot restrictions, as well as unrelated provisions targeting transgender athletes and children.

With the SAVE Act, the administration is making it very clear who it’s trying to disempower — women, trans people, and other marginalized groups.

But newly released #Epstein files show Wasserman’s name appearing 80+ times, including very personal emails with Ghislaine Maxwell — later convicted for helping run Jeffrey Epstein’s child abuse network. Some messages include requests for “massages,” the same pretext used to lure Epstein’s victims.⁠

Media outlets should be amplifying survivors and accountability — not providing a platform for convicted abusers to rehabilitate their image or rewrite the narrative. Do better, @thr.com.

Yet @thr.com recently chose to publish a lengthy interview with Weinstein from Rikers Island — centering the voice of a convicted sexual predator rather than the survivors who came forward or the ongoing fight for survivor #justice.

Anti-Abortion ‘Bounty Hunter’ Laws Spread from Texas Across U.S. Analysis: Several GOP towns and states now allow residents to sue each other for getting abortion care. The reward: money. In February, Kansas passed a similarly designed trans bathroom ban.

Placing a bounty on women and pregnant people for seeking reproductive health care is simply vile and depraved.

Lawmakers want to expand housing protections for domestic violence survivors The bipartisan proposal builds on the Fair Housing for Survivors Act to ensure people who have experienced domestic violence and sexual assault cannot be denied access to housing.

A new bill, the Fair Housing for Survivors Act, would expand housing protections for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault so they can’t be evicted or denied housing because of abuse.
