On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May 2025)

Why Hospital Policies Matter in States That Ban Abortion

Our first-of-its-kind data analysis found that a seismic split emerged in how medical institutions in Texas' two largest metro areas, Houston and Dallas, treated miscarrying patients — and in their ou...

"In almost every place in the country, there a lot of people who are struggling to not be hungry, to have affordable housing, kids are in overcrowded classrooms, people don't have health insurance, and those are the things that matter most." Instead taxpayer $ is being spent on this.

Trump deportations cost taxpayers $2,358 each

The projected $268.9 billion could otherwise fund major safety-net programs.

The last 24 hours have been brutal for House Republicans. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

He literally tells SCOTUS to watch Fox News.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Absolutely fucking disgusting. The GOP is the party of wife beaters, rapists, and Epstein cronies.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

Maybe the real problem is that we don’t pay those jobs enough. U mean, really?, no teacher’s aides?

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/81eEaAG

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration has detained more than 50 spouses, parents of US troops in immigration crackdown, AP review finds.

Corporations spent $60 million trying to defeat Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, who overcame a 10-to-1 spending deficit and won anyway. The man ran on simple ideas: end aid to Israel, Medicare for All, and end big money in politics. The people want solutions to problems. That’s it.

❗️ Russia is methodically hitting the only aeration station that purifies the wastewater of Kyiv and nearby cities with ballistic missiles - the enemy wants to cause a humanitarian catastrophe, writes the head of the Eidos analytical center. There is no backup system.

Today, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K. A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.

My neighbor, who is in the National Guard, just shipped out for his second tour of duty at the Reflecting Pool. May God Have Mercy on his Soul.

So much this

The quintessential MAGA story in 4 parts.

Done and dusted. Kris Kobach, Leonard Leo, and other anti-abortion, anti-public school funding conservatives in Kansas who tried to remake the state Supreme Court in their image have LOST.

Some +other+ primaries in Michigan, and more than you maybe wanted to know about the Kansas ballot measure to upend judicial selection (which is already a little gerrymandered!) open.substack.com/pub/statehou...

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

ICYMI: In a win for voters, a federal judge blocked Trump’s recent ban on nonpartisan groups helping newly naturalized citizens register to vote. The court found the ban was likely driven by intentional discrimination against new citizens. https://demdock.com/4xeEjiG

Missourians are also overwhelmingly rejecting the Republican amendment to phase out the state income tax.

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion

Humorous to me how, when a Dem candidate is a centrist, the narrative is about how leftists have to grow up and support them. When the candidate is a leftist, the question is whether they can rally adequate support. So some people are responsible for running a winning campaign, you say? Interesting.

Republicans have to believe that either Max Miller is lying and despicable or Bernie Moreno is lying and despicable. It’s a binary choice based on what they both said today. Both cannot be telling the truth. The senator is making false accusations or the congressman is an abuser.

Trump hires the BEST people.😂

Pirro bringing evidence to a meeting with Trump 😂😂 It just proves he was wrong and he can’t abide being a loser so it’d make him even angrier. He demands loyalty above all else, no matter the lies and illegality you have to engage in for him.
