This week, Senate Republicans gave LIFETIME judicial appointments to more anti-abortion fanatics who support fetal personhood—the dangerous idea that a fetus should have the same rights as a pregnant woman.
They're hoping you don't notice. I won’t let this fly under the radar.

If Trump wasn't wrecking the economy with his stupid tariffs, farmers wouldn't need a bailout in the first place.
Oh and what's the GOP plan for all the farmers who get health care through the ACA whose premiums are skyrocketing?
Right, there is NO PLAN.

Farmers say Trump's payment isn't enough amid rising health care costs
President Trump announced $12 billion in one-time payments to farmers as they adjust to increased tariffs on exports. Some farmers say even with that help they still face rising health care costs.

Indiana Republicans are under significant pressure to do something they know is wrong: rig the maps and silence voters.
Washington Republicans are demanding a "9–0 map." That’s not democracy - that’s cheating. They know it, and they’re ashamed, which is why they’re hesitating.

When it comes to saving the ACA tax credits, we are way past the deadline—we are in overtime.
Republicans need to understand that it’s literally NOW or NEVER to stop the premium hikes families face next year.
If they refuse by running out the clock, they're choosing NEVER.

The hard truth is that right now, our Secretary of Health is one of our nation’s biggest health threats and largest sources of health disinformation.
Realistically, we need RFK Jr. to be FIRED. At a minimum, he needs to answer to Congress for his attacks on public health.
