It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

1. Planned Parenthood of Arizona has "paused" gender affirming care for transgender adults.
It appears to be a case of massive over compliance. This kind of move could threaten the majority of trans people's medication in the US.

We appreciate that Senator Booker is putting in all of this work to get attention where it belongs: The Trump-Musk coup. We don’t want to see Democrats behaving like this dangerous administration is business as usual — we hope more of your colleagues will follow your lead here.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
