About half of those OBs left the state—and none moved to states with abortion bans, the lead author says.
More evidence that abortion bans impact other forms of health care. New @motherjones.com:

As Krugman put it on our pod: "To say that the president is making drastic policy changes to cure a problem that only exists in his imagination...that sounds like you’re shilling for the Democrats, when it’s in fact just reporting the flat truth."

The family of Virginia Roberts (Giuffre) also made a Statement.
They know damn well Rapist Trump is lying about Virginia. They're aware of the horrific rapes she endured at the hands of all three Child Rapist & Traffickers. And there's talk of clemency? It's disgraceful.

Bible thumping, porn-obsessed bigot says what?
Oklahoma State Superintendent Walters falsely claims he's been cleared of screening a video of naked women during a meeting. When a reporter says the County Sheriff's Office didn't clear him, Walters said it told him yesterday he was cleared.
The sheriff's office said an hour ago he wasn't cleared.

Three nifty things about @maxtani.bsky.social "EXCLUSIVE" piece on why NYT laundered a eugenicist smear.
1) He treats Rufo as a journalist.
