Let’s be clear: I support a total ban on Congressmembers trading stock.   But Republicans are trying to package a fraudulent version of that with a bill to disenfranchise American voters.   This is politics at its worst. Put a real ban on the floor if you’re serious.

I don't find the Schmitt Senate fiasco remotely funny. It's just McCarthyism but more incompetent. It's appalling, & a constitutional order that can't end this level of unserious lying & extremist nonsense isn't worth saving. We need massive institutional reform to make sure it never happens again.

So many low-wage workers ALREADY had to work until they died; this economy, wages failing to keep pace with inflation, and the widening wealth gap make this even worse.

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.

Once again, @autonomynews.co is a team of only two and we published all these stories in the span of one week. Support our work today. Every dollar counts! www.autonomynews.co/support/
Yesterday, the FBI’s number two man resigned. Andrew Bailey was previously the Attorney General of Missouri, where he aggressively investigated providers of abortion and gender-affirming care. We spent months reporting on Bailey’s past in Missouri, and what he might have been doing at the FBI. The bottom line: An abortion pill crackdown is likely on the way, even after Bailey’s departure.Heidi Overton, Trump’s pick to run the Food and Drug Administration, had her confirmation hearing on Thursday and it was a doozy. Overton refused to say that the abortion drug mifepristone is safe and effective and even declined to say that IUDs are birth control, not abortifacients. Next comes a committee vote and a full Senate vote. In less soul-crushing news, Susan wrote about how advocates in multiple states are challenging abortion laws under the rights to life and liberty enshrined in state constitutions. The refreshing argument is that restrictions violate the constitutional rights of pregnant people.
