This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient. The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

Many get sick while traveling. One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions. To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

LET US BEGIN THE AIRING OF GRIEVANCES. HAPPY FESTIVUS TO ALL!

Before Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, @propublica.org @texastribune.org & a team of Venezuelan journalists compiled a first-of-its-kind, case-by-case accounting of 238 Venezuelan men who were held in El Salvador. Read their stories here: projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...

This year, D.C. residents were regularly reminded how vulnerable our local laws and political systems are — and how easily daily life can be disrupted by the federal government. But @samdelgado.bsky.social reports, it was also a year when we fought back. Here's how:

Trump was a frequent traveler on Epstein Air, including trips with Epstein alone and a trip with just Epstein and a [redacted] trafficking victim.

Happiest of birthdays to the lady who made, “HE GOT MONEY!!!”

They were never defending freedom of speech. They were defending a right to monologue. The former cannot coexist with the latter.

Happy winter solstice everyone. ❄️

Solstice on a Spinning Earth apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25122... Can you tell that today is a solstice by the tilt of the Earth? Yes. At a solstice, the Earth's terminator -- the dividing line between night and day -- is tilted the most.

Lemme decorate the skyline with my favorite holiday video “Danita, it’s Christmas!”

JUST IN: Betty Reid Soskin, the beloved former park ranger with the National Park Service, has passed away at 104.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Not nary a lie told.

No lightening powers over here. But Power for Liberation How would you use your Power? #NegroSolstice

I wrote about the conservative quest to restore the "true" Constitution, the Antebellum Constitution, shorn of the egalitarian nonsense in the Reconstruction Amendments, a document that replaces equality with a society of dominators and the dominated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I feel like that makes it worse, bc it underscores that it's not just (using just loosely) RFK Jr randomly being a conspiracy addled eugenicist wackjob -- this catastrophe was coordinated and had the backing of the conservative legal movement

Most people have memory-holed 2020-2022, but we experienced generational trauma on a global scale and at some point that kind of thing bubbles up to the collective consciousness. Then and only then will we realize the extent to which grief and loss looms over every decision we have made ever since

"Has feminism failed women" is just like asking "Has freedom failed black people".

I find Sherman fascinating because he's a war criminal by any modern definition and you can pretty much drawn a line from Sherman-Total-War to Nukes. BUT... he did it to Confederates and literally freed one of my direct ancestors so... I'm cool with it. 10/10 would march to the sea again.

The moment I realized salary jobs almost never drug test while hourly jobs do, I saw the jig.

We get an update on the extraordinary case of Kilmar Ábrego García, the Maryland father who first made headlines in March when he was wrongfully deported to El Salvador.

“Trans people and our families are facing terror from this administration.”

In this special issue, Hammer & Hope commissioned the photojournalist Ashley Gilbertson to show us the Trump administration's arrest and deportation campaign. hammerandhope.org/article/ice-...

Yglesias referring to Senator Van Hollen as a "safe seat clout-chaser" is so despicable. VH took a stand to prevent Abrego García - an innocent man - from being disappeared into CECOT for life.

Modern problems, require modern....

Freedom for everybody Autonomy for everybody Health care for everybody Transgender for everybody

My response to anything over the next two weeks

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

In 2026 we must "articulate the harm" of the orange regime And Demand More, for what we deserve in the Future youtu.be/ZtsM_NVPmws?...

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

Hey y’all! Here’s the YouTube video of my interview if that’s what you prefer: youtu.be/L7vWR5nquFQ?...

NEW: Oversight Dems are releasing additional photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate to the public. We will continue releasing photographs and documents to provide transparency for the American people. It’s time for the Department of Justice to release the files.

See the newly released photos here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cl62l...

The Epstein files are set to drop tomorrow. Right on cue, the Pedophile Protection Party speaker canceled votes before the deadline. The American people deserve the entire truth. No delays. No cover-ups. No redactions.

D.C. residents will see their gas bill increase by roughly $11.24 per month starting Jan .1. Washington Gas claims their modernization plan is necessary to improve safety and reliability. Critics say its a profit strategy with harmful climate and health risks. Full story:

@bookersquared.bsky.social went to Capitol Hill to ask members of Congress: why don’t they fix the health care affordability crisis? Here's what they had to say. #justfixit

Who fuckin sat on this for 5 years...?!

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.
