Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.

But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.
Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Stop “calling for investigations” into health. Impeach this treasonous POS for waging war without congressional approval. Do your job!

“But as it turns out, the parents most likely to apply for these vouchers are the ones who were already sending their kids to private school or homeschooling. They use the dollars to subsidize what they were already paying for. The result is new money coming out of the state budget.”
Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.

It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

I’ve studied rocks for 20+ years and every single one of them has a better story to tell than this waste of space on the taxpayer dole.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

Turning Point is not a government agency. Why are we even talking about trump supporting or the GOP supporting this. Yes, he looks like a rich, dangerous toddler. The point is our government doesn’t work for the people, they spend their time fueling the dark money orgs that brainwash our kids.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov don’t give in. They are NOT going to give you a vote!!!!
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?

MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

@gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social

Please do not vote to for the CR without extending ACA subsidies. No promises of a vote. They’ve waited this long to even consider it, they can wait for the negotiation to happen before you vote.

No Kings in Oro Valley! Lots of honking horns and only 5 middle fingers. Wake up!

FYI, this is a red district on the Keith side of Tucson. Protesters reflected the demographics - lots of older folks, but also some families like mine - stood next to a grandma who brought her grandchildren!

Our president said that it’s ok to be violent if we’re reducing crime. This is the logical result. Homeless people = criminals in their minds. We are almost at the bottom of our ride down the slippery slope of righteous killing.
this is fucking horrifying

The price of my morning coffee went up over $1 since last month. My plan to buy powdered protein coffee to save money (and sugar) has also been thwarted by tariffs. $3 increase in the price. $16 for a bottle of spray sunscreen. There’s no way the trumpers are not feeling this.

Dropped my child off at summer camp and there were at least 5 cops cars in the parking lot and some special unit folks in green camo loaded up with like 3 guns each and then a long gun as well. Apparently to protect kids who are competing here from the around the world from anti-Semitic attacks

Q: Did Bondi tell you your name appeared in the Epstein files?

What the actual fuck. How does anyone support his soulless piece of shit?
REPORTER: Families are upset because warnings didn't go out in time. What do you say to those families?

TRUMP: Well I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances. Only a bad person would ask a question like that. Only an evil person would ask a question like that.
