NEW: She Faced a Life-Threatening Miscarriage. Under Arkansas’ Abortion Ban, Even Calls to the Governor’s Office Didn’t Help. Emily Waldorf’s case shows how abortion bans have left hospital lawyers, not doctors, deciding who gets care — and how lawmakers and regulators have failed to change that.

Talarico: I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November.

Democrats have provided reflexive & unconditional support to Netanyahu & Israeli governments, even as they undermined the values we claimed to stand for.   It's time to end taxpayer-funded support & condition arms sales to end the occupation & salvage a 2-state solution.

Trump's multi-billion-dollar slush fund is the most brazen act of self-dealing corruption we've ever seen. We need to shut it down before he uses it to pay cop beaters, cronies, and other criminals. I'm introducing legislation to stop it. www.semafor.com/article/05/2...

Nobody who is remotely acquainted with the federal budget would say something this ridiculous. It’s the free-lunch fantasy that you can balance the books by targeting “waste & fraud” rather than making hard choices that will be politically unpopular.

The idiots accept the blatant lie anyway.

Dude, your boss is currently trying to steal $1,776,000,000 from the Treasury. And that’s just *one* of his scams. You people have ZERO self-awareness.

Haaaaaahahahahaha

Trump posted the exact same (crazy) thing on Truth Social 8 days apart. The cognitive isn't cognitiving.

[chud senator voice] can you bee-leeve that these GOVerMENT S-EYE-en-tists are using YOUR taxpayer dollars to study lizard spit?

TIL that the basic research that led to GLP-1 drugs was conducted by government scientists at the VA and NIH whyy.org/segments/oze...

Trump reposts a violent AI meme depicting himself with a shotgun hunting rhinos, with the text: “NO RINOS! REPOST TO MAKE THE POINT CLEAR”

A narcoleptic 80-year old man with black hands, a neck rash and cankles doesn’t need three “annual” physicals in the same year if he is in “perfect health.”

They gerrymandered his district to silence him before retirement. It didn't work. Rep. Steve Cohen just made history by introducing 6 articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts. Read his final act of defiance: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/first-ever...

NYT: “Secretary of State Marco Rubio flattered the president the most throughout the 12 hours of analyzed footage.” Congrats Marco Rubio for officially being crowned Trump’s biggest kiss-ass —according to an official NYT study. 💋 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A Trump-appointed US Attorney with no experience told grand jurors they'd hear about “bad guys” and “murderers” who “did what you are going to hear about.” He handed them business cards. The cases got tossed—and three days later, he got confirmed. Extraordinary via NYT/Alan Feuer buff.ly/xpnVcJ7

House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a number of probes into Trump should they win control of Congress in November. Rep. Robert Garcia — who’d chair the House Oversight Committee — said “We’ve got a team on Epstein, we have a team on Trump family corruption, we have a team on DHS and ICE.”

BREAKING: A federal court blocked Alabama from implementing a congressional map that intentionally discriminates against Black voters. This is a victory for fair representation.

No matter how states try to spin it, intentional discrimination against Black voters is still illegal — and we'll keep fighting it.

This is the part getting almost no coverage: to rebuild what we burned in Iran, we need critical minerals. Minerals that China controls. The war in Iran costs more than lives and dollars, it’s handing Beijing leverage over our recovery. Full deep-dive on this at the link in my reply.

It's going to be hilarious (in the soul-crushing way) to see how fast Alabama goes to #SCOTUS for a stay of this ruling under Purcell, after obtaining relief from the Court from a similar injunction <checks notes> 15 days ago on the ground that it *wasn't* too close to the election.

The President has made hundreds of millions of dollars in stock trades this year in companies his own Administration regulates — then he uses his platform to influence the market. It's blatant corruption.

😡😡

Dr. Jonathan Reiner: "The president has severe daytime somnolence. He's fallen asleep in the Oval on multiple occasions & I was concerned he might have fallen asleep at Arlington. Chronic insomnia is a severe illness. It can result in an increase in risk of dementia, decrease in cognitive effects."

i regret to inform you that our crazy president is promoting QAnon again this morning

Hassett: "The thing I've seen is that while people have been spending more money at gas stations, they've been spending more money on everything else, which means they're still very very optimistic about the state of the economy" (Consumer sentiment is actually at an all time low ... )

Rubio says we're a couple days away from a deal with Iran 🙃

Ossoff: "It makes a difference who represents us. When you sent me and Sen. Warnock to the Senate, we capped the cost of insulin at $35. And when Donald Trump and his allies took power again, they threw hundreds of thousands of Georgians off their health insurance. The contrast could not be clearer"

Ossoff: "We see a faithless president self-dealing while he depicts as Christ, while he depicts the Obamas as apes, while he plunges the nation into reckless war, sends prices soaring, and plunders our healthcare to cut taxes for those who already have spectacular wealth."

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior." Hoffman is the Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender.

A masked man in an armored vehicle, dressed as if he is in the middle of a war zone, training a weapon on unarmed protestors. This is simply incompatible with democratic expression.

The President apparently promised pardons for the entire White House staff.

Our task is not just to contain this wickedness, but to repair the brokenness beneath it and advance toward a new era of reform and progress and justice.

I don't know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week.

How much do you guys know about Jared?

People across the political spectrum are feeling outrage that while families in Georgia are made to pay more and more for everything, the First Family is pocketing vast sums of money from all over the world.

There has to be accountability.

A wave is building, the kind that comes once a generation, when people have been pushed too far and they decide all at once and all together that enough is enough.

It appears that the President has gotten himself stuck and is desperately trying to extricate himself from his own mistake.

Congress has let drug companies rip off Americans for decades. Lobbyists, campaign cash, and a system that protects industry profits. But it doesn’t have to be this way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnj-2yfL13U

It’s a disaster, and it’s the fruit of a many yearslong effort to dismantle the policy legacy of the Civil Rights Movement and the foundations of Black political power in the United States.

Of all the freedoms hanging in the balance, none is more precious than the right to vote.

The Department of Justice has a giant banner of the President hanging from it right now like some totalitarian farce.

We have to take the authoritarianism seriously as a threat to the constitutional order and our civil liberties and our civil rights.

We need to be watching like a hawk.

I am running in Georgia against two Trump lackeys who, you can rest assured as they race for the President's approval, would be voting for this crooked ballroom and this insurrectionist slush fund.

The people have had enough.

This is just the tip of the iceberg in a pattern of corruption and abuse unprecedented in the history of the Presidency.
