Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

If women are suffering and dying, they aren’t fighting.
This actually is probably correct in a certain way. Punishing women for their existence and operating under the VERY standard medical belief that women are required to be in pain and they should just endure it is a reasonable explanation for why MAHA would come out against pain medication.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

honestly one of the most striking things about epstein's emails is the fact that the man, described in many places as "a genius," is essentially subliterate

Ibuprofen is very literally the ONLY thing that helps my chronic pain. It is my lifeline.
They say this shit because they want to eliminate all disabled and chronically ill people from the face of the earth and a great way to do that is to strip us of all of the medications that help us survive.

JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities rely on SNAP. In my latest @19thnews.org, I talk to a bunch of policy people and economists, as well as Kajeana Tillman, who lives in the Bronx and just wants to get groceries like she usually does.
SNAP benefits are a ‘lifeline’ — especially for people with disabilities
For those with disabilities who rely on the aid, its uncertainty threatens not just nutrition, but independence.

So…this is a…situation?
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

In case it's not obvious, none of this is true. He's either innumerate, or lying.

Before I head out, I remember very clearly that some Democrats lost their jobs over the ACA. They did what they thought was right and played the long term game.

One side effect of this appeal, which might also be intentional from Justice Jackson, is that it forces the media to say exactly and plainly that Trump is responsible for this and that he went to court to fight to not release those funds. There is no way to reinterpret this.
President Trump needs to fund SNAP.
