Texas banned abortion. Then sepsis rates soared ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban. by Lizzie ...

Sepsis soared due to abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion in 2021. The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the second trimester.

I absolutely love this idea.

I’m hearing National Archives in College Park MD is prepping for a visit from Elon. If you’re there and want to confirm, you can reach out anonymously to the signal in my bio.

Yes indeed! Gotta get everyone to the polls

I’m sure there’s a very good reason why @housedemocrats.bsky.social haven’t bothered to post anything whatsoever on Bluesky. Anyone want to guess why House Democrats have made no effort to reach out to the 31 million users on this platform? 🤷🏼‍♂️

THIS is how we break the felon’s power.

Rep. Jamie Raskin brings the wisdom, fire, and constitutional expertise to hold him accountable.
