@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

I cannot get over how insanely batshit crazy this is.

I don't even know what to compare this to here, because its never happened here.

In fact, it most comparable to Putin taking out political opponents.

This was one of the first things I thought of last night when Schumer got the 8 Dems to yes.

We need to vote Dems in, ones like Kat.

This is pretty jarring.

It's a prosecution hit list handed down by Trump to take out his perceived political enemies.
Breaking MSNBC:

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting this afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast "conspiracy" investigation into former intel and law enforcement officials.

8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night.

Only in this country can you be a lawyer who engaged in a nefarious plot to overthrow the government and escape jail time & have your Bar License reinstated.🤦‍♀️

Worst timeline.
Rudy Giuliani's rep said the former mayor "deserves" to have his bar license reinstated "immediately" after Trump pardoned Giuliani over his role in trying to overturn the 2020 election.

My parents had been Navy Corpsmen. At that time, women were not allowed on boats or deployed in active engagements

My dad was & did

Marines got my dad home safe every time & he did the same for them

I will always be very grateful and appreciative of Marines

Happy 250th Birthday Marine Corps!

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

None of the Dem Senators (or Democratic-caucusing) who voted yes on the CR are worried about reelection:

• Dick Durbin – IL – Retiring 2026

• Catherine Cortez Masto – NV – Up 2028

• Jacky Rosen – NV – Up 2030

• John Fetterman – PA – Up 2028

• Maggie Hassan – NH – Up 2028

Schumer chose 8 Senators not up for election in 2026 to take the sellout "deal". They're hiding.

The centrist Democratic leadership knows that the blue base hates these spineless cowards.

They hope that we forget by 2028 or 2030. That we won't kick them out.

Prove them wrong.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

Imagine if Democrats relentlessly hammered him in these moments instead of assuming nothing will ever stick to him. Imagine if we demanded that Republicans answer why the President is throwing Gatsby parties and calling football plays instead of negotiating. Nah, we should definitely fold instead.

I mean, most of us saw this coming. We cant win with politicians like Schumer undermining us at every step of the way.
SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

These guys are constantly saying that Dems need to abandon identity politics and run on kitchen-table issues. They get the most kitchen table-ass candidate imaginable, spend months saying he's secretly radical, then as soon as he wins they say he's secretly moderate.

Human fetal tissue research has saved millions of lives and continues to drive biomedical innovation. Restricting it would not alter abortion rates, it would force scientists to discard an irreplaceable research resource for treating devastating diseases.
Restrictions on fetal tissue research would threaten progress on breakthrough treatments for devastating diseases — and yet not prevent a single abortion
The U.S. government may restrict funding for research that uses human fetal tissue. The move would undermine medical science and prolong patients' suffering from devastating diseases.
