Abortion rights win in Wisconsin: Today, Wisconsin's Supreme Court held 4-3 that the state's pre-Civil War abortion ban is unenforceable. This means abortion is once again available in Wisconsin up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.

We are calling for transparency and accountability following revelations that the Trump administration is planning a series of taxpayer-supported Christian nationalist “revival” events tied to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. ffrf.us/4paemN8

Again, if they can learn from Mamdani, it's stay on message. If Rufo says Democrats want to teach homosexuality manuals, the response is not 500 words about sensitivity and so forth. It's, "I won't dignify that. I'm busy fighting for equal rights, equal protection, and money in your pocket."

This is what the frog faces fascist wants for the UK. I could never have afforded all my cancer treatment. Fight for the NHS with every fibre of your being.
🎧Breast cancer patient who faces a $1000/mo premium hike without ACA subsidy says lawmakers need to understand: “For them, a thousand bucks is probably nothing. It’s probably what they blow on dinner, but for me, that’s half of my wage, you know? I just can’t swing that.”

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

US senators will say anything. "Standing up to donald trump gave him more power." No it didn't. That isn't true.

no question that hegseth hates guys with beards because they make him feel insecure
Hegseth: "We don't need to be a military of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim to be Nordic Pagan? No, suddenly it's become this real fake religious affiliation inside the Pentagon where troops came to be Nordic Pagan so they can grow a beard and nobody challenges them on it."

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

i have said this before but i think that the people who were “charmed” by epstein wanted to be charmed
honestly one of the most striking things about epstein's emails is the fact that the man, described in many places as "a genius," is essentially subliterate

Another fastball from Jeffries. The more they drop legislative Hill speak the better.
Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

What just happened on the Senate floor was a disgrace.

In the same chamber where the nation watched Senator McCain show courage in saving the ACA, now we see a vote that will lead to millions losing healthcare. 1/2
