Ectopic pregnancy deaths: When I posted this info last week, it was via Raw Story, vs. directly from ProPublica, so I missed some useful graphs. Here they are: www.propublica.org/article/ecto...

Ectopic pregnancy deaths: ProPublica analyzed CDC data from every US state "to look for patterns. The analysis shows a growing divide for women in states with strict abortion bans compared with those without." Shocking. Or not. Predictable, preventable deaths. www.rawstory.com/ectopic-preg...

For likely the first time in modern history, the Supreme Court decided more cases in fast-tracked, secretive proceedings than in open court. These “shadow docket” decisions have let the Trump admin. bypass lower courts on deportations, ICE stops and more — often with little to no explanation.

BREAKING: Our banned interview with Kimmel generated 6 million views on YouTube.

I enjoyed Mike Luckovich for years, and then he created this cartoon. I sat and cried for several minutes. Then I cut it out of the Los Angeles Times, and I've kept it ever since. Thank you, Mr. Luckovich.

Do you want to be right or do you want to be effective? Just voters. No kings. Find your event, vote early, & bring every person you know. We get to decide who leads, whose rights matter, & whether democracy survives another power grab. Be a voter!

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

The public deserves transparency. Major Jason Watson’s Article 32 hearing is expected to be open to the media—and we’ll be watching. Jason stood up for his oath. Now we must continue standing up for him. #MajorJasonWatson #DOOR #GTS

#MajorJasonWatson #DOOR #GTS Major Jason Watson will have an Article 32 hearing on Friday, September 18, 2026, at 1:30pm ET. It is expected that this hearing will be open to the media. If that is not the case we should be looking for answers. @cnn.com @nbcnews.com @apnews.com @politico.com

I hope folks realize this Bab al-Mandab situation will be much worse than the Strait of Hormuz if it’s not sorted out quickly. And it doesn’t currently look like it will be sorted out quickly.

I don't know ANYONE on the Right who fact checks.

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

“.. The 92-year-old former leader, who was prime minister at the time of the [9/11] attacks, drew a standing ovation after telling his ‘American friends’ that Canadians may be tolerant and kind but ‘we bow to no one.’” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/sept...

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

Why was he even allowed in? Nothing good was going to come of it. He’s shown he has no compassion, kindness, or respect towards us.

It doesn't get any lower. Pete Hoekstra went to Gander on the 9/11 anniversary to threaten Canada. Time to show this toxic bum the door. youtube.com/shorts/LlACT...

My wife just learned that my audiobook is on Spotify and can be streamed with a Premium account—and she would like you to know that. 😊✌️

Today we honor the memories of those who were lost on 9/11 by doing what America's attackers and detractors could never do. By building. We build an America that is bigger. More inclusive. More empowering. More just.

Earlier this week, Judd reported on a new Elon Musk scam. Musk is spending millions of dollars pushing Americans to VoteSafe, which advertises itself as a voter registration site but is actually a digital surveillance machine.

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

🚨BACKFIRE: James Talarico’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! has now surpassed 4.5 MILLION views on YouTube after Trump’s FCC pressured Kimmel not to air it on broadcast television.

Happy Friday, everyone.

NEWS: France’s Epstein investigation is expanding, with prosecutors identifying multiple potential recruiters and at least 13 previously unknown victims as they trace his trafficking network across the country.

If you haven’t watched Jimmy Kimmel’s interview from last night, you should. The FCC and this administration are constantly trying to squash the resistance, but the resistance always finds a way around them. They can keep trying to silence people. It isn’t working. Tomorrow there will be more of us!

Fair Q Answer: laws don’t apply to the rich/Trump’s donors — for them he has literally abolished prisons

Twenty five years ago, extremists attacked America. The destruction, loss, and images of that day will never leave anyone who witnessed them. Today we honor the memories of the lives lost, and the heros who saved so many on 9/11.
