Idaho lost one in three obstetricians after its abortion ban New research confirms: Crackdowns on reproductive rights have harmful ripple effects across local health care.

New research shows Idaho lost one in three obstetricians after its abortion ban took effect

About half of those OBs left the state—and none moved to states with abortion bans, the lead author says.

More evidence that abortion bans impact other forms of health care. New @motherjones.com:

Wow. A group of top scholars at Harvard just sent a letter to its president, Alan Garber, warning against surrendering to Trump.

Signatories include Steven Levitsky, Dani Rodrik, Ryan Enos, Theda Skocpol, and Steven Walt.

Someone forwarded it to me. Read it here:

The level of delusion here is really hard to fathom. We don't gain anything real from any of this!

How can we preach democracy and human rights abroad while ignoring such atrocities in our own backyard?

Burgum: "When the sun goes down, you have a catastrophic failure called sunset and there's no solar energy produced, and yet we're subsidizing these things that are intermittent, unreliable, and expensive. We've gotta get back to base load."

Leavitt refers to Trump as the "former president"

As Krugman put it on our pod: "To say that the president is making drastic policy changes to cure a problem that only exists in his imagination...that sounds like you’re shilling for the Democrats, when it’s in fact just reporting the flat truth."

The family of Virginia Roberts (Giuffre) also made a Statement.
They know damn well Rapist Trump is lying about Virginia. They're aware of the horrific rapes she endured at the hands of all three Child Rapist & Traffickers. And there's talk of clemency? It's disgraceful.

Casar: "We can't necessarily rely on this very right-wing Supreme Court to save us. That's why I think it's so important that if you're watching at home, that you reach out to your governor and legislators and encourage them to take Gavin Newsom's lead."

Now there's a ringing endorsement

Bible thumping, porn-obsessed bigot says what?

Treasury Secretary Spills The Tea On Social Security Privatization Scheme Scott Bessent was shameless, saying that the MAGA accounts for children are a back door into privatizing Social Security.

ICYMI: they’re now letting us all in on the scheme to privatize Social Security. Yes, I am sounding the alarm. crooksandliars.com/2025/07/trea...

We know real anti-semites. Mamdani isn’t one. And I don’t fear him.

This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.

What Happened When Hitler Took On Germany’s Central Banker Hans Luther was the principled and respected president of the Reichsbank—but he wouldn’t accede to Hitler’s demands.

Hans Luther was the principled and independent president of Germany’s central bank, Timothy W. Ryback writes. “But when Luther wouldn’t accede to Hitler’s demands, he feared for his life and had to leave”:

Short list of things wrong: This is not a scoop; who gives a fuck about scoops in the year of our lord 2025; it's not possible to be scooped by Christopher Rufo because he is not a legitimate journalist; you can't be scooped on a non-story; factual is below the floor, newsworthy is the floor.
