Starting in a few minutes! Join us for #Arizona Legislative Update. Which 🦇💩 bills are dropping? How about funneling taxpayer $ to study "Trump Derangement Syndrome," teaching "intelligent design" in science classes, bills attacking trans and non-binary youth, prayer at government meetings... 🤢

Crazy: Evangelical leaders are reacting to ICE violence by calling for people to pray...not for the victims, but for ICE and Kristi Noem! Evangelical Mike Johnson is also blaming the victim in vile ways.

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend.

She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care.

This is her story.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
