"Trump has no intention of just quietly receding into the darkness in 2028...he wants to stick around...when I said in 2019 he wouldn't leave peacefully, people laughed at me, unfortunately, I was vindicated in the worst way."

I was on NewsNation this week, & disagreed with host Leland Vittert:

Sure they did. Why wouldn’t they? /s
DOGE just closed down 50 vaccination clinics in Texas amid a measles outbreak.

Musk and the Trump admin directed federal agencies to pause the disbursement of $11.4 billion in community health loans and grants this week.

The timing couldn't be worse.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Erasure is a very dangerous form of propaganda
The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.

Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.

3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.

Erasure.

1. Protests have erupted at multiple hospitals across the United States that have decided to comply with Trump's executive order banning trans care under 19.

Now, a lawsuit challenges that EO.

Writer Mira Lazine writes about the importance of the protests.

Demonstrators argue that hospitals should stand as a bulwark against Trump and should care for all of their patients, rather than comply without a fight.

BREAKING: Gwynne Wilcox, illegally removed from the NLRB by Trump, is suing the President.

The lawsuit calls her firing "a blatant violation of the National Labor Relations Act" and says that if she doesn't challenge her firing Trump will have nullified the NLRA’s protections.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

‼️‼️‼️
Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.

Mortality rates:

Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K

Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)
FYI
Viagra has more serious side effects than Mifepristone

Mifepristone has a lower risk of side effects than penicillin

So why is it such a big deal to these GOP boys anyway?
