The Roberts Court, in one fell swoop, has: 1) Allowed states to defund Planned Parenthood even for non-abortion care so to... 2) Rip away people's right to choose their care provider under Medicaid while... 3) Advancing a neoconfederate understanding of our civil rights laws. This can't go on.

Step 1: Astroturf a lawsuit to an anti-abortion Trump judge eager to ban mifepristone based on bad faith args. Step 2: Fail at even this SCOTUS. Step 3: Get your anti-abortion friends from Project 2025 to make stuff up, call it a "bombshell report" that Trump 2.0 can run with. Step 4: Hurt people.

The multibillion-dollar authoritarian network behind #Project2025 is “working to cement control of NC’s courts to lock in unconstitutionally gerrymandered maps” … “defying the will of the people to steal an election, rig the state Supreme Court, and cement an illegitimate grip on power.”

Oh my god, the Onion bought Alex Jones' Infowars.
The image shows two flags against a cloudy sky. The top flag is black with the word "INFOWARS" written in a bold font. The bottom flag is red with a geometric design resembling a 3D shape and a globe in the center. Below the flags, a headline reads:

"Here's Why I Decided To Buy 'InfoWars'"
By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO

At the bottom, there are logos for "Global Tetrahedron," "The Onion," and "InfoWars."
