It’s becoming a trend: states with restrictive anti-choice laws are losing OB-GYNS.
States with full-on bans, like Texas, force doctors to make impossible decisions that could cost patients’ lives, and they want to be able to provide the right care.

Iowa doesn't have enough OB-GYNs. Is the state's abortion ban part of the problem?
Iowa ranks last among states for the number of OB-GYNS per capita. State legislators are trying to recruit more, but some doctors say the state's strict abortion ban is partially to blame.

Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

He’s such a f’n man baby. Dear Lord—he needs to stop being butthurt by everything & everyone. He still, after nearly 80 years, hasn’t figured out that the way to make people like & respect you isn’t to buy them or bully them.
The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

Sadly today’s MAGA Republican Party is nothing like Reagan’s Republican Party.

NBC News finds that:
-- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six.
-- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam.
-- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph.

Important history and reason for the federal agencies we have to protect health.
In 1960, Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey, an FDA medical officer, stymied the automatic approval of thalidomide, which later was proven to cause birth defects. Her actions led to new drug regulations, requiring pharmas to ensure drugs are safe & effective.

Her refusal to approve a dangerous drug changed medical history
As federal workers face mass layoffs and a government shutdown, Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey's story is a reminder of what public servants can do when they stand their ground.

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.
Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
