Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world.

“Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion in 2021”
📢 New report on #Texas' abortion ban:

- Rise in pregnant and postpartum fatalities
- Delayed care for miscarriages due to healthcare provider legal fears
🚨 Restrictive laws = worse health outcomes.
