The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

We already know the Trump administration has been lying about ICE “targeting the worst of the worst” — the actual numbers tell the truth.
The government’s own data shows only 15 % of those detained had any prior criminal convictions, and just 3 % were violent offenders.

Trump’s pardon for Henry Cuellar is part of a truly ridiculous pro-corruption pattern, spanning both of his terms.
The message to politicians convicted or accused of corruption couldn’t be clearer: You have a friend in the Oval Office. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump’s pardon for Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar fits a pro-corruption pattern
Trump appears to have a soft spot for politicians accused or convicted of corruption charges, regardless of party.

The Beeb has been a bedrock of free speech since WW2. This is appalling.
Note that the BBC openly admits in an email to me that the removal of this claim about Trump's world-historical corruption was done "on legal advice."
Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded.

1. Take money away from insurance companies.
2. Give that money to the people.
3. The people can then buy their own insurance.
4. From, presumably, companies that sell insurance.
5. Which are also known as "insurance companies."

The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

The SCOTUS administrative stay is a terrible thing for 42 million Americans who are uncertain if they'll have food in November.
But make sure to blame the *real* villain: Convicted Felon Donald Trump. It was his decision to appeal in the first place.
Trump could just fully fund the SNAP benefits.
