Republicans just pushed a bill that spreads lies about abortions, criminalizes doctors using their best medical judgment to treat patients in need, and strips families' ability to decide how to act in situations where a baby won't survive long outside the womb. (1/2)

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

“I just thought that they were going to kill me.” In Mississippi, many police departments have held on to vague, outdated policies that let officers shock virtually anyone with a Taser, for any behavior they see as threatening, with little fear of repercussions.
Mississippi Police Use Tasers Freely, and Injuries Follow
A lack of state standards leaves Mississippi police and sheriff’s departments on their own to decide when to use stun guns, and many give officers a free hand.

Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system.
