Anyone who defends the practice of calling a woman “a bitch” because that woman in particular “deserves it” really needs to listen to the logic in that argument. Maybe ask yourself if that’s how you want the children in your life to determine what kind of language they use.
I can sort of deal with “bitch-ass”? But a reminder that calling women you hate “bitches” just makes it ok for anyone to call a woman they hate a bitch!

Not a defense of Pam! She’s evil! Just a reminder that gendered insults entrench the word further into use.
It explains perfectly Pammy Jo's bitch-ass attitude.

While Trump’s second term has been defined by attacks on democracy, it’s also seen an obliteration of reproductive rights led heedlessly by the GOP.

And Republicans will not stop, because they're dead set on controlling all freedoms, Planned Parenthood’s Lauren Blauvelt writes.
Abortion bans have always been part of the attack on democracy
The Trump administration has been laying the groundwork for obliterating reproductive rights from the start.

GALLEGO: Why is the agent who shot Renee Good holding a camera phone & weapon?

LYONS: The US attorney was requiring to have video leading up to arrests, so officials have used phones for that

GALLEGO: Maybe you shouldn't be trying to be an influencer and wielding a weapon at the same time

This is actually an ESSENTIAL articulation of this admin’s immigration policy.

Policymaking is about weighing equities. In normal policymaking, the rights of the people you’re going after count as an equity. It appears for all the world that this administration’s decisionmaking simply ignores them.
BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.

"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

Klein: People are afraid to come into clinics or hospitals because they’re afraid they’ll be snatched. So they’re staying home with acute conditions like appendicitis. They’re not going to their follow-up neonatal appointments. They’re allowing their jaundiced babies to go untreated.

Everyone — regardless of political party — should be outraged by the dramatic overreach from Trump’s DOJ.

They are spying on and surveilling Members of Congress as we conduct oversight.
