Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

ICYMI: Republicans cut provisions in the defense bill to make IVF affordable for servicemembers. Why? Because Speaker Johnson doesn’t want our troops to be able to build their families. Trump talks a big game about IVF—but he won't lift a finger to help people afford it.

Folic acid helps prevent major birth defects of the brain and spine. Pregnant patients need 600 micrograms of folic acid daily, so adding a prenatal vitamin with at least 400 micrograms of folic acid to a healthy diet is key. Learn more: bit.ly/42yry5y #FolicAcidAwareness

With the ever changing legal landscaping surrounding abortion access from bans to lawsuits, this is an updated map showing where abortion access currently stands in various states. It's absolutely ridiculous that in 2025, people do not have access to these services nationwide. #Pinks

Why is calling for transparency and accountability “hostile”? After years spent campaigning on releasing the Epstein files, now with a trifecta, Trump and Republican leadership are doing everything possible to keep them out of the public eye. Feel free to form your own conclusions.

The GOP has an enemy, and it’s the 86-year-old chairman of Texas’s beloved grocery chain, H-E-B. Charles Butt is the sworn enemy of the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott. Charles Butt supports immigrants and sanctuary cities. His kindness makes him an enemy to Republicans.

If you’re not white, or you have friends or loved ones who aren’t white, or you’re not a total sociopath and therefore care about fellow humans who aren’t white, you need to understand this regime thinks not being white is inherently suspect, and lots of your fellow Americans are fine with that.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
