Trump only cares about people who can vote for him and people who can give him money. And he doesn’t need your vote anymore, peasant.

She's trying to open a birth center near a maternity desert. It's not easy When Katie Chubb was pregnant she wanted to have her baby at a birth center, but there was no local option. Now she's trying to open one herself. She has community support, but not from the hospitals.

Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants? A panel of experts repeated what one women's health expert called "MAHA talking points."

Mental health conditions, like suicides & overdoses, are the leading underlying causes of maternal deaths in the US.
Antidepressants save women's livesβ€”& they're safe.
So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms?

ABC News drops Terry Moran over late-night post attacking Trump and Stephen Miller | CNN Business The network is parting ways with its veteran correspondent two days after he posted a missive on X calling the president and his deputy chief of staff β€œworld-class haters.”

This country has gone mad.

ABC News paid a historic bribe to Dictator Trumpβ€”begging him not to destroy itβ€”and has now let go a beloved, celebrated journalist for...

...an *accurate tweet* whose accuracy is *confirmed* by *all prior reporting* on the life and times of Stephen Miller.

We are lost.

MAGA is comfortable tossing around pejorative’s like β€œmoron,” β€œidiot,” and β€œretard.” It’s an early conditioning to dehumanize people with (perceived or real) disabilities similar to β€œaliens,” and β€œenemies of the state.” And it’s a tactic that was used in the β€˜30s. @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social

Dems aren't shying away from talking about 2028 presidential bids The days of the shadow primary are giving way to a franker, more overt approach to the race for the White House.

A man’s gotta have a code. Trump’s code is that the Saudis are paying him millions to host the golf tournament, so that’s where he is.

I’m at the (George) McGovern Library digging thru archives. Most surprising find? His book on the Ludlow massacre of coal miners was adapted for the big screen but wasn’t made. The 1980’s was a rejection of social justice battles but 2025 seems like a perfect time to finally make that movie!

Senator Cory Booker is only a few hours away from breaking Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech on the Senate floor (24 hours and 18 minutes).

Every single Democratic Senator needs to be like Senator Michael Bennet out there helping Cory with his filibuster!

My God.

ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseatβ€”and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back.

How many more?

THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.
