RFK Jr has suggested he wants to end access to mifeprostone; it's the MAHA war on women

>100 studies have examined the effectiveness/safety of the abortion pills mifepristone & misoprostol. "All conclude that the pills are a safe method for terminating a pregnancy" (www.nytimes.com/interactive/...)
The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
FDA Slow Walking a Long-Awaited Abortion Pill Safety Study
The Food and Drug Administration has delayed a promised review of safety data for the abortion drug mifepristone at Commissioner Marty Makary’s request to put it off until after the midterm elections,...

Republicans again trying to interfere in our most personal decisions.
Tucked inside the Republican bill for health care subsidies, a clause that would restrict the money from being used for abortion (with exception for rape, incest or life of the mother) or for "any sex trait modification procedure or service."

Republicans candidate for Massachusetts governor donated $100,000 to harass our neighbors, pollute our environment, make it harder to access healthcare, destroy public health infrastructure and interfere with our reproductive care.

No, thank you.
It's very funny to watch Mike Minogue, who donated money to Donald Trump and JD Vance, try to avoid saying he supports Trump ... before finally admitting he still supports Trump. Kudos to Sharman Sacchetti for not letting Minogue wriggle out of that one.

The hepatitis B vaccine is essentially a vaccine against cancer.

The Trump Administration wants babies to get cancer.
Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection that, for most people, lasts less than six months. But for some, especially infants and children, it can become a long-lasting problem that can lead to liver failure, liver cancer and scarring called cirrhosis.

MORE GRIFT. The Warner Bros. merger was already suspect, but now Trump's family is getting in on the act.

Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is now part of Paramount's bid for Warner Bros. Discovery & they cite HIM as the reason why their bid is more likely to get approved. This cannot stand.

If you're in the White House press corps, still showing up to your job every day and not saying anything as Trump attacks your colleagues -- almost always women, I'd add -- then this is on you as well.
Reporter: “Are you committed to releasing the full video?”

Trump: “Didn't I just tell you that?”

Reporter: “You said that it was up to Sec. Hegseth.”

Trump: “You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place…You are an obnoxious, actually a terrible reporter.”

ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus.

This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.

Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

I see people trash talking #heatpumps as too expensive to run.

Just looked at heating bills for gas (2023-2024) and heat pumps (2025-2025.)

Heat pumps marginally cheaper to run.

W addition of #solar I also have $400 free AC+$700 net meter credit + $50-$75/mo in solar gen for winter Very worth it
