I will also never get over the cruel irony of conservatives voting to "protect" kids by outlawing gender affirming care... in a country where the biggest threat to American youth is firearms- something conservatives have gleefully done nothing to protect our kids from.

I was a kid once. And my biggest regret in life is that I never got a childhood without pain.
Politicians should never insert themselves into the personal health care decisions of patients, parents, and their providers—and that includes trans Americans.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Urgent update.
Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.
Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

Nice work, Speaker Jeffries.
Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Trump is probably the first President in the last 50 years with enough control over the Contract to actually do good things for the country like universal health care and gun control. But he won't because there's no profit in it for him.

restrictions kills women — I will not
accept women & the lives of women as
some political cost for them being able
to extend these things — Reproductive
care is health care — Period”
