Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion in 2021, ProPublica found in a first-of-its-kind data analysis.

The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the second trimester.
Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Danielle Sassoon properly told Donald Trump he’s corrupt as fuck. In case you’re wondering, this is what integrity looks like.
The Danielle Sassoon letter to AG Bondi is wow.

If you have a tip about what’s going on in DOJ/SDNY, I can be reached on Signal at annabower.24

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Imagine if Biden had spent the first 48 hours of his presidency talking about suspending the provisions of the 2nd Amendment.
Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

We elected a fascist. And we're surprised that he's doing fascist things. We don't deserve nice things.

1) he doesn’t have any friends
2) Beverly Hills is unaffected so far
3) even if it was being ‘decimated’, the fact that his concern in this moment is only for rich folks and the ‘biggest most valuable homes’ tells you everything about this pathetic man.
Trump: I know those areas very well. I have many friends living in those houses. That is a true tragedy. Nobody ever thought -- I mean virtually Beverly Hills and areas around Beverly an are being decimated.
