Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

DC J6: 1.500 arrests
DC No Kings: zero

Tell me again which side is violent?

In a rare show of courtesy, police departments all over the US reported that the mass protests on October 18th were overwhelmingly peaceful and posted thank you messages for protestors. Out of millions of people, only MAGA agitators were arrested. ICE stayed away due to the crowd size. #3E #NoKings

No notes

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

They have worked 12 days in 3 months.

Epstein Shutdown.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Bring as many American flags to No Kings as you can.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Graphic celebrating National Coming Out Day. The background is divided diagonally: the top left triangle is bright red, and the bottom right is purple. A large rainbow band extends from the bottom left corner toward the upper right, displaying red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple stripes. In the upper left, bold white text reads “HAPPY NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY!” On the purple side, white text reads: “To those coming out today, or still finding the right moment—you are brave, loved, and never alone.” Several small rainbow-colored hearts float near the text. The UUA flaming chalice logo with rainbow colors appears at the bottom left corner, with “http://UUA.ORG ” written vertically along the blue stripe.

Today we celebrate all who are coming out—sharing your truth, living it out loud, or still finding the right moment. Coming out takes courage, honesty, and hope. However your journey unfolds, you are loved and held in community.

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous.

Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos.

Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.

I can't believe MSNBC is falling for this "anti-ice" on the bullet thing. The shooter's brother says he wasn't political and didn't have strong feelings about ICE. Where's the scrutiny?

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

White House to agencies: Prepare mass firing plans for a potential shutdown In memo, the Trump administration says the Reduction-in-Force plans would go beyond standard shutdown furloughs.

If the GOP can't get the GOP to come up with a funding plan that the GOP will support, they're going to fire...... federal rank and file.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.
