I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

The Trump administration is quietly trying to build medical dossiers on all federal employees. 

Their prescriptions. Therapy appointments. Abortion records. For millions of people (and their families). 

They won’t say how they’ll use it. 

But I can venture a guess.

I try to avoid watching Hegseth, because I hate that our secretary of defense is such an embarrassment. But I had an interview scheduled at the time of his remarks this morning, which the station carried before coming to me. The juvenile braggadocio, the brazen lying, the unctuous piety--sickening.

Why Hospital Policies Matter in States That Ban Abortion Our first-of-its-kind data analysis found that a seismic split emerged in how medical institutions in Texas' two largest metro areas, Houston and Dallas, treated miscarrying patients — and in their ou...

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%.

The White House Correspondents Association is planning to "honor" Trump at its dinner three weeks from now.

No way.

It was egregious before. Now it's obscene.

The bitter truth of our world is that unless and until enough GOP in House and Senate say to Trump, as GOP said to Nixon, ‘Enough, you’re done,’ he cannot be checked right now.

His permitted corruption, violence, desecration is their crime.

This is not foreign policy, it’s a deranged mad man threatening to wipe out an entire country.

Wait one damn minute.

Steve Hilton has an endorsement from Charlie Kirk on his TikTok page.

But the “endorsement” is an AI video… posted by Hilton after Charlie Kirk died.

We don’t need a fact check for this one. This is just weird AF!

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Trump’s Animus Against NATO Could Lead to a Geopolitical Disaster The alliance has brought decades of peace to Europe and enabled the U.S. to shape events on the continent.

“Donald Trump appears disposed to allow the most successful political-military alliance in modern history to be destroyed. Vladimir Putin could not be happier…That would be a true tragedy for Europe and, indeed, for the United States.”

Impeach Him Again And create friction against him within the executive branch.

“The simple fact is that we have a president who is irresponsible, reckless, and indeed unhinged. And he’s all the more dangerous because he is unconstrained by both his subordinates in the executive branch or by Congress.”

I hope this is what's happening. On the other hand, Trump is fucking insane and everyone who supports him is actively evil, so who knows if he just wants to say, "Fuck it" and play God.

The War Against Iran is Killing U.S. Hegemony In this new iteration of my newsletter, I’m hoping that each dispatch connects at least somewhat to the one before, rather than being a semi-random string of emails connected to current events, but no...

The Iran war is destroying US hegemony.

Iran is using this moment to dismantle a key pillar of US power — the petrodollar.

For the last 50 years nearly all oil has been purchased in dollars. But Iran and China are starting to kill off this pillar of the US empire.

Of all things that keep me up at night, this one is especially troubling. Second term Trump has removed every individual who would block crazy orders, or try to tell him no. Now imagine him growing increasingly unhinged with dementia, ordering even more insane things. With no one trying to stop him

South Carolina Desperate to Criminalize Abortion, Trump Admin Plots New Birth Control Attacks: April 6 News Roundup Plus, what you missed on Autonomy News last week.

Lawmakers introduced a whopper of a bill that would ban nearly all abortions, explicitly outlaw self-managed abortion, make it a felony to provide abortion-inducing drugs to a pregnant person, designate mifepristone and misoprostol as controlled substances, and more.

I've warned for years that Republicans planned to reroute federal family planning dollars to crisis pregnancy centers—groups that won't even talk about birth control.

I re-upped that prediction just last week. A day later, this Politico piece dropped.
