Monday's Supreme Court decision basically allows evidence in an illegal search to be used against you. It hasn't attracted much attention but that's the nature of how constitutional rights disappear.

The whole point of the proposed Christine Stabell Benn and Peter Aaby Hep B vaccine tests is…what? To kill vulnerable African children and/or destroy their futures? Because they think some “non-specific” bad effects from the vaccine might show up at some point? BS. Tuskegee redux.

Experts we spoke to who reviewed Ciji Graham’s case agreed that even if the standard treatment for her heart condition posed a small risk to her pregnancy, the risk of not treating Graham was far greater:
“No mother, no baby,” one doctor said.

One of the most hilarious unintended side effects of the administration’s lies about “organized groups” is that the people I know who aren’t quite as plugged in are all like “wait, there are organized people out there! Awesome! Where do I join?”

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend.
She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care.
This is her story.

RFK Jr and Trump rolled back a Biden regulation that required nursing care homes that received Medicare and Medicaid payments to have a registered nurse on site 24/7.
Effective January 1st — those rules no longer apply.
