Sick and tired of seeing people make jokes and viral content about Epstein at the expense of victims. When your only reaction to sexual abuse is to laugh you contribute directly to a rape culture that trivializes and minimizes these crimes

The full impact of the Medicaid cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill won’t be realized until next year. These cuts will hurt some of the most vulnerable families in this country. The cruelty of every representative who supported this bill continues to trouble me. youtu.be/hoiDdYN1BRY?...

Just… wow. Trump is telling people who are desperately trying to achieve the American dream and own their first home that, actually, they are the problem, they don’t work very hard, and should be kept out of the housing market in favor of the wealthy. This is not a winning message.
Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

“According to the John Hopkins Arthritis Center, around 60 percent of rheumatoid arthritis patients currently are on or have been on methotrexate.”
The Trump administration formally withdrew federal guidance that required pharmacies to dispense methotrexate. Chronically ill people may face more challenges in getting this drug for their health. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
HHS will allow pharmacies to boycott lifesaving drugs used in medication abortion
Misoprostol and methotrexate do more than end pregnancies—but anti-abortion pharmacists can now refuse to offer them and still get federal funds.

Trump is a serial liar. If he says he wont take Greenland “by force,” this should be reported on, but it does not mean that’s off the table in his mind. He can flip on a dime and he doesn’t care about NATO, ethics, laws, norms, etc. He is a real estate guy and he wants Greenland in his portfolio.
