AI data centers are sucking up water and power. Industry PACs are spending millions to buy our elections. And AI is already being used to facilitate online scams, deny insurance claims, and price-gouge consumers. Sam Altman's response? We should "accept some bad things happening." Hello?

Anti-choice doctors believe that abortion bans protect patients, while abortion providers know that bans are deadly. But their opposite advocacy efforts underscore a striking trend in American politics since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022: the political activation of American doctors.

State-level abortion debates have activated physicians as a political force like never before.

The Trump admin is pro-control, not pro-life, writes Arwa Mahdawi. If you suffer a miscarriage in ICE detention, the gov't will shrug and look the other way. But if you have a miscarriage in a state with fetal personhood laws, you may find yourself facing a police investigation and criminal charges.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.

On the surface, the DOJ and Louisiana are adversaries in the abortion pill case before the Fifth Circuit, but they're in agreement on the ultimate goal of extending existing state abortion bans to all 50 states. I.e, the DOJ is supposed to be defending the FDA, but is really on Louisiana's side.
