What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.
To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

Really?

Once again, he is disobeying court orders and basically saying that Americans will continue to go hungry until the Dems allow him and the MAGAs to destroy our healthcare access.
Keep fighting for Americans, Democrats!🔥
