Abortion providers confront a new wave of extremism

Get me to god's county

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

All ten of the PA Republicans in the majority sold out their constituents tonight to help Trump and their billionaire donors.

These GOP Medicaid cuts would devastate families and PA’s economy.

John James in Michigan had 132,500 people who were counting on him to protect their health insurance. Families, children, everyday people.

He voted to cut that funding to free up money to cut taxes for billionaires.

He's not going to be forgiven.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Veterans: if your care is impacted by these cuts in the future, please reach out

Casar: "You know what Elon Musk doesn't seem to be looking into? His own contracts."

Right on cue: House Republicans call for $2 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts.

Taking a step back from the day to day news, I have a firm belief: the battle to protect health care in the coming months will define this administration and this political era.

DOGE and Trump admin have hobbled at least 11 federal agencies *that have been investigating Musk's companies.*

The NLRB alone had 24 ongoing investigations into Tesla & others--but Trump fired top officials so now cases can't move forward.

CDC Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Transmission Between Cats and People (Gift Article) The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished.

120. The Impoundment Crisis of 2025 The Trump administration's Monday spending freeze is likely to provoke a crisis over the constitutionality of "impoundment"—one that the justices could well have to resolve *very* soon.

This summary of “impoundment” and why the OMB order is both unconstitutional and illegal is super helpful. www.stevevladeck.com/p/120-the-im...

Between the commanders loss, the new administration, and the potential loss of thousands of federal jobs the vibes in DC are miserable right now

Martin is a staunch opponent of abortion, has pushed for a national ban without exceptions for rape and incest, and has floated his support for jailing women and doctors involved in abortions. He served as deputy policy director for the Republican National Convention's platform committee last summer and hosted a radio show in 2022 during which he said: "I would like to see U.S. senators and U.S. congressmen and women elected to office who would say, 'Let's ban abortion.

Trump’s pick as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. is an enthusiastic defender of Jan. 6 rioters who wants to ban abortion with no exceptions. (His office is the only entity that can bring felony charges against adults in the District because we lack statehood.) www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
