Banning abortion ain’t saving lives—it’s risking them.
14 US states have abortion bans, leading to a rise in maternal and infant mortality. Global experience shows that criminalizing abortion doesn't increase birth rates - it risks women’s health and lives, making it harder to obtain legal medical care and forcing them into clandestine abortions.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.

Nah fr, numbers don't lie but politics do.
It would take only a handful of Republican votes in the Senate and even fewer in the House to impeach, convict, and remove Trump. Only a handful.

Calling this 'justified'?
The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

So the CIA’s out here playing chess with Venezuela?
Snubbing Venezuela’s opposition leader was CIA’s idea. "A... CIA assessment produced at the request of the White House warned Pres. Trump of a wider conflict in Venezuela if he were to support the country’s democratic opposition once... Maduro... was deposed..." www.latimes.com/politics/sto...
CIA advised Trump against supporting Venezuela's democratic opposition
Trump dismissed the leadership of Venezuela's democratic opposition in favor of Maduro's handpicked vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, now the interim president.

Wait – Pam's citing Article II like it's a Costco membership for unchecked power.
At some point, I would love to see an interviewer ask someone from the Trump administration which specific portion of Article II they are relying on.
Pam Bondi: "This was well within the president's Article 2 powers. It was a law enforcement function to arrest indicted individuals in Venezuela."
