NOTE: Judge Sullivan makes it a point to remind Todd Blanche in this order that the "courts have the inherent power to enforce compliance with their lawful orders through civil contempt." Sullivan writes that violating an order that is "clear and unambiguous" can give rise to a contempt finding.

Trump keeps getting richer while families can’t afford gas, groceries, housing or healthcare. Republicans have done nothing to lower prices. None of them give a damn about everyday Americans — they just care about keeping their wealthy donors happy. #StopTrumpCorruption

New analysis from @propublica.org: Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans. www.propublica.org/article/ecto...
A chart showing the rate of deaths after an ectopic pregnancy, comparing states that banned abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 with those that did not. At the start of the chart, in 2014, the rate is higher in states with abortion bans, but the rates in the two groups of states are not far apart. The rate increases in both groups of states, but the climb is much steeper in states that banned abortion.
