TED makes multi-million-dollar investment to boost safe abortion in 10 countries This is the first time TED’s Audacious Project has invested in an organization specifically focused on abortion access and care.

The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

Also this is clearly not FDR Starmer is dealing with. In fact, this is the guy who is gutting every policy and program FDR put in place to benefit everyday Americans.

So they can’t do a thing to help rising prices, tightening job market and skyrocketing healthcare costs and decide to fritter away all OUR money on endless macho military operations? Pretty sure this won’t stem the blue tide that is revving up for November.

Trump and Republicans are going to want taxpayers to pay a fortune so Trump can have more toys to kill people. This is where Dens can make a stand just like they did with DHS and ICE.

Kinda exposes the law firm fools who instantly capitulated and now are obligated to give an obscene number of pro bono hours to whatever insanity POTUS names. Or…can they just back out now?

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

The Law of War I am not a law of war expert.

What does it mean if the administration's strike on Iran wasn't lawful? It's not an abstract debate. First principles, like the rule of law, determine whether we live in a country governed by laws or by impulse. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Americans live in a country where the leader can order the murder of anyone he wants, and doesn’t even need to explain why. The rule of law is gone. Republicans killed it.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings β€” including against state officials who help them carry it out.

Ok, but there’s a long succession line waiting to take his place. So what IS the plan for regime change? There’s gotta be more than β€œIranians, it’s up to you now!” But it looks like this is yet another of tRump’s β€œstrike now, figure out what else to do later” operations.

Clearly tRump can’t order all voters to re-register but the fact that it’s even under consideration shows how scared he is.
