All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

Judges are being arrested under the Trump regime in the U.S., and you're still debating who could challenge J.D. Vance in 2028? You’d better start thinking about how to bring the U.S. back from dictatorship to democracy.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.
As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

I’m all for reform. Surely there are ways we can save taxpayer money & make government work better.
But taking a sledgehammer to entire departments—as Elon Musk is doing—will do irreparable damage that can't be undone. Working people will be hurt the most.
