Governor Pritzker isn’t mincing words: Trump sending military troops into American cities is dangerous and undemocratic.

Let’s be clear about what’s really happening here. AG Tish James dared to hold Trump accountable. These charges are nothing more than political retribution.

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social is a fighter for New Yorkers and a champion for reproductive freedom nationwide. It’s our turn to stand with her.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 2d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

They know we’re winning. That’s why they keep changing the rules — state ballot measure thresholds, politicizing the FDA, anything to rig the system. But the truth is simple: when abortion is on the ballot, we win.

When career scientists do their jobs, it shouldn’t make headlines. But in today’s climate, even routine approvals of safe medication are turned into political drama.

We can’t let anti-abortion extremists politicize science or patients’ access to care.

We’re grateful to Congressional Democrats—led by Leaders Schumer and Jeffries who are actually listening to their constituents—for holding the line to protect our health care and reproductive freedom.

This is not governing—it’s sabotage. Donald Trump and his allies in Congress are deliberately manufacturing chaos in order to push their deeply unpopular agenda of dismantling health care.

Anti-abortion extremists are using the budget process to push an agenda that voters have rejected again and again. They are using every tool they can grab to attack health care and reproductive freedom—even if that means shutting down the government.

They are manufacturing this crisis.

NYT/Siena poll confirms what most other polls have shown of late - the country has rejected his "strongman" authoritarian tactics, and he is deeply unpopular.

Voters across party lines show up for reproductive freedom. That's how we expand the tent.

This is our chance to build broad coalitions. Democratic governors are fighting back, showing that protecting rights goes hand in hand with prosperity and the freedoms people care about.

They are lying about their agenda, and this is proof. Mifepristone is safe, effective, and essential. This is political interference designed to rip away our freedoms.

Mini Timmaraju @mintimm.bsky.social · 17d

Let’s be clear: this is not about safety—this is the first step in banning abortion nationwide, even in states where it is currently protected. Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Martin Makary are hijacking our government agencies to push a backdoor abortion ban.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59
