Trump locked everyone who works in the country’s family planning program out of their office and gov emails last week. This program provides contraception, testing for diseases and basic infertility care. He’s taking away essential health care from millions of women.

This would be the best strategy. And also effective in pressuring those on the fence not to stick around and defect. Corporate Dems have to do something they rarely ever do: stick together. Or they'll all stick separately.

I’m depressed that so many people here don’t seem to understand the point of this “strongly worded letter.” OF COURSE Trump/Republicans won’t budge on most of this stuff. Schumer/Jeffries know that. This is no longer about avoiding a shutdown but about making sure the public knows who to blame.

Updated this piece about how the Trump admin removed images of women and persons of color from websites. The good news is that the webpage about a NASA employee overcoming adversity was restored after she posted about it. The bad news? NASA then fired her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...
NASA has removed “women in leadership” and “indigenous people” from its website. It also removed a website profile of Rose Ferreria, a student intern who became a full time employee. Ferreria is an immigrant who survived cancer and homelessness before becoming a student at Arizona State University. It is a savvy bit of marketing by NASA to broaden the pool of potential applicants: women of color playing a leading role in NASA is the stuff of movies (Hidden Figures) and TV shows (For All Mankind) precisely because it challenges us to rethink what the agency is. While in hospital Ferreria posted about the removal of the page telling her story. After adverse publicity, NASA restored the page. Then it fired her.

After Ann Coulter says "If only people with at least 4 grandparents born in America were voting, Trump would win in a 50-state landslide" John Fugelsang reminds her that would mean none of Trump's kids could vote and Trump couldn't either.
