Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls.

As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination.

I am so damn PROUD of TX Dems for standing up and fighting back!!

But this won’t mean anything if the rest of the country doesn’t back them up.

BLUE STATES! IT’S ON YOU TO MOVE!

No more talk.

Start announcing referendums and special sessions to redistrict the GOP out of existence!

‘They roll right over’: Many Democrats call their party weak and ineffective, AP-NORC poll finds A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that many Democrats see their political party as “weak” or “ineffective.”

This shouldn’t be surprising. The only way to fight back is to… actually fight back.

If Democrats want to improve their approval rating (or far more importantly, make actual change), we need real leadership to put up real resistance to authoritarianism.

Judge blocks Trump's efforts to defund Planned Parenthood A federal judge says Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding.

#ResistanceUnited

Judge Talwani has rightfully held that Trump cannot deny Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood. Trump's scheme clearly targeted Planned Parenthood in violation of law, and prevented patients from getting care they'd otherwise be eligible for.

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 lives—& they're safe.
So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms?

Medicaid also provided my son with his wheelchair, shower chair, & most importantly, medications, nutrition shakes, and his bathroom remodel from tub to roll-in shower.

Medicaid provided ALL of these services.
We’re lost without it (4/25).

You could be next.
Keep calling. 📷👇🏽

A very personal 🧵 of services the Texas Medicaid waiver has provided my son.
Services and therapies many families could not afford otherwise.

Music Therapy (especially Taylor Swift ☺️) was *instrumental* (aha!) in teaching my son to walk again after his most recent neurosurgery!

Whoa! If you haven’t heard about this, you need to.

Epstein’s ex-girlfriend just described his relationship with Trump.

Stacey Williams, a former Sports Illustrated model who briefly dated Epstein, says Trump and Epstein were “bros”, and that Trump groped her in 1993 in front of Epstein.

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

We need to fully close the dangerous loophole in the law so that stalkers and domestic abusers cannot access deadly weapons. That’s why I introduced my bill to keep guns out of the hands of abusive dating partners and convicted stalkers, which will protect victims and save lives.

“Some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net, and so they try and do the Democrats’ work,” Trump said. Careful or he might start calling them ‘undesirables’.

This isn’t just about Epstein.

This is about a world where the most powerful men treat children like property

and the system covers for them.
