Women who get an abortion and anyone who helps them could face up to 30 years in prison under the bill.
It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.

This moral radicalization happened at all levels in the Union army, very much including Ulysses S. Grant.
A lot of Northerners needed to SEE it to become true believers in the cause. But they did. It’s all there if you listen to the lyrics to The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Julie nails the problem here. The press lets him get away with this shit all the time, showing zero support for each other. It's what has allowed him and the White House to just lie and insult people with impunity. Shame on all of them. This is absurd.
I just watched the whole video, and not a single reporter stood up for her. Everyone just pivoted to asking questions on other topics.
This is shameful.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

At some point, the media elite decided that Olivia Nuzzi is one of their own now and forever, and to rehabilitate her, they have to recast RFK Jr. as a grand romantic. It's disgusting all the way around, especially the parody of class solidarity that binds the rich and connected.
And while he is upturning the consensus on vaccines and eroding any remaining public trust in science, the NYT, Vanity Fair etc are laundering this man's reputation and impact as some kind of romantic figure, when he is truly dangerous.
He may not lob bombs, but his death toll will be significant.

Today RFK Jr. both suggested that aluminum adjuvants in vaccines cause peanut allergies *and* admitted there are no data to support this hypothesis, so he wants to find some.
Like if you took the scientific method, turned it backward and inside out and made it puke, you’d get RFK Jr.’s thoughts.

I don’t understand why Dems have to choose? “Trump is a corrupt billionaire pedo whose self-serving policies have made your life more expensive” is not that hard of a message imo
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

As always, I'm astonished far less by Trump himself than I am by the tens of millions of Americans, powerful and not, who are essentially pretending this is all normal. It's like the court martial judges saying "well, maybe they DID steal his strawberries" and making Queeg Secretary of The Navy.
Trump: "I gave them as you know unlimited water, Biden came back with a rigged election, and he immediately restricted the water again. But I came back in and immediately unrestricted it again. So now you have unlimited water to clean your damn dishes."
