Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

People are finally learning what the National Endowment for the Humanities is. Terrible the circumstances that led to this. Someday, we believe, we will rebuild. #NEH

Several people who cast a single mistaken ballot were sent to prison for years. A Georgia Republican official who voted illegally nine times? Just a $5,000 fine. Apparently β€œelection integrity” is a lot more forgiving when the offender has the right party affiliation.

He's either lying or mentally unfit. Either way, more laws & more court orders cannot fix the problem. Everyone knows this, & everyone is pretending otherwise.

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?

Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

I know nothing matters any more but here's the president admitting that he accused Iran of bombing a school full of their own children based on absolutely nothing.

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.

Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

The GΓ‘mez-CuΓ©llar family has been released. We are taking them now to reunite with their son Antonio.

When I returned to the Dilley trailer prison today, I brought my colleagues in Congress to meet with the children and families and to bear witness to their stories.

Under US occupation the women of Afghanistan enjoyed a generation of living with rights most of us here in the US consider basic and standard. Tore my heart out when those women had to live with the Taliban for the first time ever. Ms. Atef lives it daily to keep us informed. Brava.
