Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
What's happened since?
A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

We should all be saluting the Senate Parliamentarian who is defending the rules vs. lawless, rapacious Senate R's. Knocking out a host of reprehensible policy items that do not comply with reconcilliation rules. It is not an easy task. This is what it means to take responsibility for our democracy.

The "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" boils down to this: Taxpayer money is being STOLEN, without congressional approval, to artificially boost the value of a highly speculative financial asset. You can like that asset, you can dislike that asset, that's your own business. But this is open embezzlement.

We spent nearly 8 minutes this morning trying to set the record straight on a number of health matters.
I’d expect the Surgeon General or NIH Director to do this, but since they’re not, here it is in 4 clips.

You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.
