Trump is an atheist whose regime has seized control of a) powers assigned to other branches of government, b) significant private corporate assets. He curbs civil liberties and his foreign pals are Communists or ex-KGB. Only one person in DC can be accused of being a Communist.

When my colleagues and I started digging around in CDC data on pregnancy-related deaths, we noticed something surprising: the rate of ectopic pregnancy deaths had more than doubled in recent years. Nearly 200 women died between 2020 and 2025. So we set out to learn why 🧵
A chart showing an increase in the rate of deaths after an ectopic pregnancy, normalized by the number of live births. In the three-year period starting in 2014, the rate is a little above 4 deaths per million live births. The rate rises sharply for the 2020-2022 period and continues to increase, to 9.8 deaths per million births, in 2023-2025.
