Mifepristone is safe and effective—and has been widely used for over 30 years. In fact, it’s safer than viagra. But Trump officials want to rip away access to medication abortion in ALL 50 states. It was never about states’ rights—it was ALWAYS about controlling women.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court gave Trump the greenlight to steamroll ahead on his $600M ballroom. Trump's billionaire buddies and corporations gave millions in "gifts" to bankroll it. Many have big stakes in federal contracts and actions. It's a gold-encrusted gateway for corruption.

Happy birthday for tomorrow to Mary Shelley who was born on the 30th August 1797. 🎂 Did you know that in her most famous novel, she wrote that Dr Frankenstein travelled to #Orkney to create a mate for his monster? So that was nice. She must have thought it was lovely here.

Canada's largest ice cream company used to source its fruits and nuts from U.S. suppliers — some for over 30 YEARS. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products. So, what did Chapman's do? They called Italy. They called Spain. They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.

Many people believe climate change is *real* and a serious concern. But polls show that only ~2-3% of people rank climate change as their *top* concern. Other things -- like inflation, health, security -- always rank higher. So we need to show how climate solutions offer many *other* benefits.
