If you know anyone using a menstrual tracking app, tell them to see using it immediately and delete all their data

Women’s reproductive health choices are being tracked by law-enforcement agencies.

The Texas sheriff involved illegally sought a woman’s data. This is irresponsible
use of public safety resources.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

This shutdown is proof that Trump and his MAGA Republicans don’t care about the American people.

They don’t care about federal workers who aren’t receiving paychecks, they don’t care about your flights, and they don’t care about Americans being able to afford health care.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 13h

The first wave of missed paychecks from the government shutdown is likely to hurt the economy in many communities.

The longer other services remain shut off, the more the shutdown’s effects will spread.

What's the biggest inside indicator of Trump's poor health? JD Vance's behavior.

Vance knows that Trump's prognosis is poor. He believes this is going to give him the presidency before 2028. No American VP has ever behaved this way. His level of arrogance is off the charts.

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs

This narrative from an apparent member of the horseshoe caucus is just inane at this point.

HRC wins by 4 million votes in the 2016 & these num-nums still can’t get it through their heads that…*GASP*!!! Democrats overwhelmingly favored & voted for…wait for it…

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

For many of us Alaskans, the PFD is essential. Yet this year’s check is among the lowest ever, forcing families into impossible choices. We need a formula Alaskans can count on. One that's affordable, true to our share of Alaska’s oil wealth, and puts the 'permanent' back in Permanent Fund Dividend.

The health insurance industry doesn't care who you voted for — only how much money they can extract from you.

Insurance premiums are set to double, and Republicans shut down the government to make sure it happens.

Now is the time to demand universal healthcare with Medicare for All.

Richard and Laurie Eckman weren’t screaming or being violent. They were just standing outside the ICE building in Portland, holding space at a peaceful protest. Richard even wore his veteran cap. All they were guilty of was standing around with a sign.
