A Senate committee is holding a bogus hearing today based on junk science about the abortion pill mifepristone, a safe and effective medication that's the most common form of abortion.
This hearing isn't about science — it's about laying the groundwork for banning medication abortion nationwide.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

I could say a lot more about that time, but all of this is just to say that I really appreciate this article very very much and while much can be done for Chicago to make it a safer, less policed city, there are so many of us who love this city so so so much and will keep up that fight! 🧵

I’ll never forget the intense militarization of CPD at that time and how Lightfoot literally had the bridges which connect so many sections of the city raised so that groups of protesters could not access each other.
Raising of the bridges also worked to systematically segregate the city 🧵

They assume we must all be getting paid to rise up cos:
A) they can't imagine a scenario where they would stand up for a stranger without financial incentive
B) they received financial incentives or free passes to cause trouble
C) there is insane funding behind them, and they draw small crowds
