The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction. Everyone involved with this needs to be disbarred

Congressman Jamie Raskin says when it comes to Epstein — follow the money. In revealing letters, he pushes major banks to not be part of the cover‑up. Dina Doll reports on the latest effort by Democrats to get to the truth for the victims.

Today, I signed a series of bills that close gaps in maternal and prenatal care, improve health outcomes and access to child care resources, and protect vulnerable women.

Women in California deserve the services and resources they need to live full, self-determined lives.

One evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries consoles another evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries for not getting an award for which neither evil man is even remotely deserving.

The loss of Keaton is a blow to any fan of 1970s cinema. So iconic.

“It made my career,” she said of “Annie Hall.” “It was everything. It’s the reason we’re sitting here having this nice conversation. Everything always goes back to that.”

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back.

Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

Tonight I'm watching The American President. I wanted to see if my memory of it was accurate. It's not the highest quality movie ever made, in terms of acting or flow, but the themes and dialogue in this 30-year old movie are sharply relevant to today's issues.

Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues.

This was their first year in a post-Roe state (pub. Feb. 2024):

She Was Denied an Abortion After Roe Fell. This Is a Year in Her Family’s Life.

Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.
