‼️HUGE WIN‼️

Today, the New Hampshire House voted to withdraw a bill that would ban abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

This could not have happened without the 12,000+ NH residents that took action to publicly oppose the bill.

👉 This is a POWERFUL step forward. When we fight together, we win!

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Yes. Former Treasury and OMB officials explained to me in detail what sort of power Elon Musk has now been granted. They described it as akin to having his hands on a series of spigots that he can now turn on and off:

The Rewriting of a Pioneering Female Astronomer’s Legacy Shows How Far Trump’s DEI Purge Will Go The federal webpage for an observatory named for the late astronomer Vera Rubin was edited to omit any recognition of the fact that science remains a male-dominated field or that the observatory was…

As of Jan. 15, a biography of Vera Rubin on the observatory’s website included a section titled, “She advocated for women in science.”

That language was gone Monday morning. Some of it was later restored — but not all of it.

Trump to enact tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China starting Feb. 1, White House says President Trump will enact 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada starting Saturday, as well as a 10% tariff on China.

Trump just confirmed that he will impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on China, effective TOMORROW.

Trump and his billionaire backers can afford higher groceries and prices at the gas pump.

Can you? www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-t...

Trump’s tariffs loom and even his supporters in Texas are nervous Trump has vowed punishing tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, which are Texas’ biggest international trading partners.

Mexico is Texas' largest trading partner.

Trump's 25% tariffs aren't just going to raise prices - they're going to put Texans out of business.

Many Texas truck operators, warehousing companies, car dealers, and more won't survive this tax hike.

The research has already been done. Mifepristone is extremely safe.

Mifepristone is safe, effective, and essential. We have over 100 studies that prove that abortion pills are extremely safe.

We can’t stand by as anti-abortion groups continue to undermine science.

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

Buttigieg’s response to Trump vis Twitter, on multiple levels:

This is shocking but it isn’t new.

We must continue to seek out abortion news and research.
