I’ve been saying this for years… abortion bans do far more harm than many people realize and target the most vulnerable. Maternal Mortality rates are the strongest indicator of the state’s overall healthcare outcomes. Georgia needs to do better in so many ways!
Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women.
We must unite & fight back.

These appointments prove that insisting people achieve and be promoted based on “merit” was never really their real concern.

Who is surprised by this? Not me!
Nobody elected Elon to anything, but he sure is acting like they did.

I’ve been anxiously waiting for this announcement. Will it be before January 20th?
This sounds right
If we are already getting anonymous "holy shit this guy is annoying" stories I'm not sure Elon Musk makes it to Inauguration Day in Trump's inner circle. He might be on a 2016 Transition Chair Chris Christie arc www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Wonderful when Russian State TV praises Trump’s DNI nominee as “our girlfriend Tulsi.”

Feeling slightly more hopeful this morning thanks to Hakeem Jeffries who said “A setback is nothing other than set up for a comeback”. Please let him be right and let this nightmare be over soon!

Not suspicious at all. Everything’s fine here…
So Matt Gaetz is about to be the subject of a damning House Ethics Committee report exposing his illegal behavior… and in order to give him a pretense under which he could resign and evade accountability… Trump offered him the role of the top law enforcement official in the United States of America.
