Experts we spoke to who reviewed Ciji Graham’s case agreed that even if the standard treatment for her heart condition posed a small risk to her pregnancy, the risk of not treating Graham was far greater:

“No mother, no baby,” one doctor said.
A Pregnant Woman at Risk of Heart Failure Couldn’t Get Urgent Treatment. She Died Waiting for an Abortion.
In a state that had legislated its commitment to life, Graham spent her final days struggling to find anyone to save hers.

DOJ is trying to block an independent monitor for the Epstein files, arguing courts can’t enforce the Epstein Transparency Act and lawmakers lack standing. Their position amounts to no court can force the DOJ to release the records.

ICE killed an American citizen.
They’ve killed 30+ people in detention in 2025 alone.
This is not “enforcement.” It’s violence.
This weekend, we expose the pattern — and demand ICE leaves our communities.

Everyone sing along!

🎶Don’t cry for us, Argentina.
We’re like Canada, only much meaner.
And we gave up healthcare,
For your peso to be finer,
So you could steal our soybean exports.
That went to China.🎶

NEW: From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russ Vought has drawn the road map for Trump’s second term.

SOYBEAN FARMER SOUNDS OFF: Trump’s trade war is crushing farmers. Now Trump is giving $20B to Argentina—the same country taking much of America’s soybean market.

Soybeans are the no. 1 cash crop in Tennessee.

This is yet another affront to our democracy in the name of advancing Trump's corrupt, pro-billionaire agenda. Shame on Speaker Johnson for denying the working families of #AZ07 the representation they deserve.

Just five media companies control 90% of our media market.

But it’s not just media. In 75% of U.S. industries, fewer companies now control more of their markets than they did 20 years ago – leaving us vulnerable to higher prices and lower wages.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database.

Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.

The cruelty is the point.
