1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

ICYMI: Republicans cut provisions in the defense bill to make IVF affordable for servicemembers.

Why? Because Speaker Johnson doesn’t want our troops to be able to build their families.

Trump talks a big game about IVFβ€”but he won't lift a finger to help people afford it.

Rob Reiner was a mensch. In death, he showed us Trump’s a schmuck. The president's remarks about the murder of the filmmaker and his wife cast him as petty and callous.

Another excellent video by outstanding scientists and healthcare workers about the damage being caused to public health by MAHA.

The decision by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to downgrade its recommendations to protect infants from hepatitis B is a dangerous move that will harm children.

Just so I have this straight: Vance thinks racist men in their 20s and 30s are β€œjust kids,” but 12-year-old girls are grown enough for forced pregnancy?

Christian Nationalism tells us that women should stay home and raise children unless their husbands die and they get offered his job to keep the donations rolling in.

The only hope of uniting this country is in our shared hatred of health insurance companies. We should lean into that.

Folic acid helps prevent major birth defects of the brain and spine. Pregnant patients need 600 micrograms of folic acid daily, so adding a prenatal vitamin with at least 400 micrograms of folic acid to a healthy diet is key. Learn more: https://bit.ly/42yry5y #FolicAcidAwareness

With the ever changing legal landscaping surrounding abortion access from bans to lawsuits, this is an updated map showing where abortion access currently stands in various states.

It's absolutely ridiculous that in 2025, people do not have access to these services nationwide.

The left isn’t β€œdancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

Which violence is framed by mainstream society as unacceptable and which is treated with indifference or applause is always a reflection of who holds political power

The β€œproblem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Why is calling for transparency and accountability β€œhostile”?

After years spent campaigning on releasing the Epstein files, now with a trifecta, Trump and Republican leadership are doing everything possible to keep them out of the public eye.

Feel free to form your own conclusions.

Sending troops into US cities against their will.

Strong-arming corporations and extracting gifts in exchange for tariff exemptions.

Calling on state governments to gerrymander in his favor.

Trump is the "big government" nightmare conservatives have always warned us about.

It’s no coincidence that we stand here today, at the Democracy Center, with Donald Trump's ICE agents standing outside as we speak.

Is this a threat to you, Trump? Are you scared of what happens when the people of this state come together to make our voices heard?

We were skeptical of Trump’s bad faith takeover and assumed it was to distract from the Epstein filesβ€” until we listened to @brentterhune.bsky.social’s harrowing tale of his experience in the D.C. β€œwar zone”

Please give a listen and keep an open mind. Perhaps we were too quick to judge.
