Texas abortion funds are warning that a bipartisan bill clarifying the state abortion ban's emergency exception contains a “Trojan horse” provision that could help resurrect an over-century-old law that would essentially shut them down.

Kristi Noem turned a human rights atrocity into a campaign ad, parading in front of shirtless prisoners like a fascist influencer. Filming suffering for political gain is grotesque. This isn’t policy—it’s propaganda for a regime embracing cruelty as spectacle.

My flood insurance is from National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) which is managed by FEMA. If your flood insurance is as well, you might wanna read the below.

Elise Stefanik's nomination for UN ambassador may be withdrawn. The House has 218 seats held by Republicans and 213 seats held by Democrats, with 4 vacancies. It's tight and the GOP are infighting.

Damn, trump doesn't even treat his own allies well.

$12 billion in federal grants to states were canceled. These were being used for tracking infectious diseases, mental health services, addiction treatment and other urgent health issues.

This includes the Texas measles outbreak.

Deniers claim an incident never happened — even though it was witnessed by a crowd and admitted to by the culprit. This is happening in Boca, in Amsterdam, on campuses, everywhere. This is why voices like yours, the just released UK parliamentary report on 10/7, and the movie 10/8 are so important.
