"One woman could barely get words out through her tears. Another ran to the restroom as soon as she was done, wordless, wretched sobs wracking her tiny body. A third threw up on the witness stand."
One year since the fall of Roe, women are suffering because of abortion bans.

🚨🚨If you don't watch anything else today, watch Rep. Ted Lieu enter into the congressional record Judge Kaplan's findings that former President Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll.
Everyone should see this.

This is the most pernicious belief about African people who were enslaved. It is, intentionally or not, how we justify the sins of slavery: The belief that Africans had no particular knowledge or skills or value outside of brute labor. It's ahistorical and illogical.

@peacock @NBCSports @bobkeroll Watched yesterdays #TourdeFrance replay and was appalled by Bob Roll’s comments about Wout’s departure. Unacceptable messaging. Wout’s ability to balance work and life should be celebrated, not criticized. We need to do better for our young boys.

They swore up and down they wouldn't send girls and women to prison for having abortions. They lied.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
“Prosecutors did not charge Celeste Burgess under Nebraska’s abortion law. She pleaded guilty to removing or concealing human skeletal remains, a felony. Prosecutors agreed to drop two misdemeanor charges: concealing a death and false reporting.”

I'm being 100% literal when I say that Republicans see two trans kids playing lacrosse in Iowa are a far greater crisis than this.

It would be nice if people noted that things Americans are paying the most inflated prices for are the services Republicans have spent 50 years intentionally making more expensive.

🗞️BREAKING: CA was awarded $1.8 billion in funding for access to high-speed Internet.
This critical funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will be instrumental in bridging the digital divide and ensure that all Californians––regardless of zip code––can connect online.

Abortion bans stand between doctors and their patients.
I sat down with Dr. Colleen McNicholas, an OB-GYN in Missouri, to discuss the impact of abortion restrictions across the country and what we can do to fight back.

A billionaire shouldn’t be able to pay less in taxes than a Boston public school teacher. (Yes, Jeff Bezos, I’m looking at you.)

The debt went up more than $20,000 per person during the Trump presidency.

The cost of the MAGA House Republican plan to extend the Trump tax cuts is more than 300 times the savings from the poverty-increasing work requirement proposals they’re now proposing.

I wish everyone could go back to how they felt that day in November 2016 and then stop fucking around and just vote for Joe Biden. Go back and remember what it was like to wake up every day for four years with tightness in your chest.
Go read your tweets from November 2016.

Our student debt relief plan would allow more than 40 million Americans to breathe easier, getting folks who need it up to $20,000 in relief.
Republican officials are standing in the way.
This Administration doesn't back down that easy–we're fighting back in the Supreme Court.

The only thing stopping millions of Americans from receiving the Biden-Harris Administration’s one-time student debt relief is a lawsuit brought by Republican officials and special interests.

I get why people are saying the people are to blame and, yeah, you can’t free everybody, but I also think that using political power and platform to take advantage of ignorant people is just.. despicable
The Republican support of vaccine misinformation is a crime against humanity

They have no plan but to shit on people who have abortions and trans people and disabled people and low-income people and Black people and indigenous people because all they have is bigotry.
To no one's surprise Republicans are still pushing abortion restrictions after 2022 midterm flop. From me & @igorbobic: huffpost.com/entry/republica…

One of the least noticed stories of 2022 was the incredibly effective response by the Biden Administration to monkeypox. Just another example of what happens (or what doesn't happen) when there are competent people in charge of our nation's government.
