Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans Our reporting has found that abortion bans generally don’t include exceptions that cover health concerns pregnant women with chronic conditions can face — or if they do, doctors aren’t using them.

Another woman killed by the Texas GOP. Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line. At 20 weeks pregnant, she died of preeclampsia.

Trump Administration to Drastically Cut Housing Grants

This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

Great thread on how/what to give to support members of your community during this shutdown, with SNAP ending!

As an architect, this hurts my heart in so many ways. Not only the demolition of even a relatively small portion of the White House, but also the idea that he’s in any way worthy of an arc that celebrates all that this administration stands for.

Gov Greg Abbott says that ideological fidelity to the party line established by the Texas GOP is expected of all who hold jobs in the University of Texas system.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

September 29, 2025 Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) left a meeting with President Donald J.

That is just plainly not true. Your budget slashed help for people who buy Affordable Care Act plans. That's 22 million Americans whose premiums are going up - RIGHT NOW - by double digits directly because of a policy you passed.

Yep!

NEW: DHS has created a ICE/CBP "volunteer force" open to DOD civilian employees. In other words, it's asking DOD employees to come work for ICE for six months. I'm told the Pentagon is supporting the recruitment program. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/ice-c...

I was waiting to see if anyone was going to report on it. Stunned.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”?

You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.

Best Twitter riposte of the day.

Convicted terrorist Bezalel Smotrich, now a Netanyahu cabinet minister, insists that starving the population of Gaza to death is a "moral" thing to do.

By 2029 the GOP may have entrenched their coup by "legal" methods

Gerrymandering-permitted by MAGA judges

Changes in citizenship laws and deportations

Quashing dissent by jailing protesters

And radical "interpretation" of the Constitution

We still don't fully comprehend the danger America faces

Despite vow to remove the worst offenders, ICE data shows less than 1% of deportees had murder convictions A majority of the people deported by ICE this year were convicted of traffic or immigration offenses, not violent crimes, according to data obtained by CBS News.

Got that? Less than 1% of deportees have criminal convictions. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Nervously waiting on the fallout of the SCOTUS decision on reductions in force? You’re not alone. Here’s what it means and what to do next.

@firedbutfighting.bsky.social has good resources too. Get connected!

That’s my hometown!

To my fellow vets and active duty friends: please consider helping out Common Defense and ACLU with this. You have the option for ACLU to keep you anonymous.
