Let's be very clear: The Trump administration is not "defending" mifepristone against a legal challenge. They're pulling a calculated move that will allow them to restrict or ban abortion medication without pushback

Trump will defend Biden’s abortion pill rules in Texas case
The filing over the regulation of mifepristone indicates an emerging pattern: An effort to preserve executive power.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

MSNBC cutting The ReidOut fits a pattern: when Black women journalists speak truth to power—especially Trump—they’re silenced. Shalise Manza Young warns, “Our truth-telling is treated as treachery."

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025.

The plan is crystal clear: Republicans will finance their billionaire giveaway with brutal cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, and the social safety net. The richest people in the world are working to steal food out of the mouths of the poorest families in the country.

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re now in a position where Hegseth is the Defense Secretary. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.
