This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient.

The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.
🚨🚨 SCOOP @ms.now : The Department of Veteran Affairs has quietly implemented its abortion ban following a DOJ memo issued last week.

This will affect 9 million veterans and their dependents, and has been a long time coming: It was outlined in Project 2025.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.

I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.

They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.
Trump’s Immigration Nightmare: It Is Happening Here

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.

Your daily reminder from the oligarch currently buying all the media for more minority control.

Because intimidation as well as manipulation is how fascism delivers it.

Psychology of changemaking:
“For decades,cities around the world have said they’re too spread out,too cold,too hilly,too car-dependent to make cycling mainstream.Paris proves that narrative wrong.In the end,the French capital didn’t just build bike lanes—it built(the)belief(that change’s possible).”

Tommy Tuberville wants a war; he could learn from this GOP governor
“I believe that instead of resisting change, Alabama should embrace change, hold it tight, and never let it go,” the GOP governor said.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Comfort viewing is the plan for tonight. It’s cold, I’m tired, it’s been a tragic week, and I’m not sure I’ll ever confidently speak Chinese. If you need me, I’ll be rewatching Do You Like Brahms and listening to Traumerei on a loop.
But first, Chinese class with my ever-patient 老师。祝我好运。

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence.

In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t.

What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty.
