Women living in states that banned abortion are 2x more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth or soon after.

Black women in banned states were 3.3x as likely to die as white mothers in those states.

New report from Gender Equity Policy Institute:
Maternal Mortality in the United States After Abortion Bans - Gender Equity Policy Institute (GEPI)
Mothers Living in Abortion Ban States at Significantly Higher Risk of Death During Pregnancy and Childbirth

Mothers are twice as likely to die during pregnancy in states that banned abortion. At the same time, maternal mortality rates declined in supportive states. @19thnews.org's Shefali Luthra (@shefali.bsky.social) broke down the data from @thegepi.org’s new report.

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

The DNC voted for status quo. Useless. It is on all of us plus lawyers and whistleblowers and individual leaders like @govpritzker.illinois.gov … don’t hope the unimprovable improve, find alternatives and back them

I have been a loyal "normie Dem" my whole life, but to watch them make millions off of stock trades, cozy up to people they admitted were fascists, trade obligation for access, and play internal politics while democracy is destroyed is a disappointment I don't have words for.

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.

100% the below. Also, basing our actions on anticipated reactions from folks dedicated to revenge is a fool’s errand. We mustn’t be in a co-dependent relationship with obsessed, fragile, ego-driven creeps.
Trump pardoned a dozen drug traffickers, bypassed & ignored DOJ input, pardoned dozens of Republican elected officials, business cronies, lawyers, friends, donors and campaign officials. Promised to pardon J6ers who beat cops. I don’t care about Joe pardoning his last son.
