Thank you @Jessica Valenti - I totally agree. I appreciate your daily reminders

In 2025, after following the discussion on abortion all throughout my adult life, I am convinced of certain things.

Abortion equals healthcare. Access to medical care is crucial to girls and women for numerous reasons.

To single out abortion as the place for compromise is to ignore the political reality of the last three years.

And in a moment when the stakes are so high—as women are literally dying—being both confidently wrong and hugely influential is straight up dangerous. jessica.substack.com/p/ezra-klein...

The President is unwell.

PBS comments: “his remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances.

The Guardian calls some of his speeches “baffling” and “weirder than ever.”

Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require “translation” or annotation to make sense.
