Well @epaleezeldin, I know the law. The Supreme Court rejected your argument -- 19 years ago.
The law hasn’t changed, and neither has the science. The only thing that’s changed is the fossil fuel industry’s infiltration of our government.

Anti-choice extremists have said for years that their goal was to make abortion access a “states’ rights” issue. But their actions show that couldn’t be further from the truth. They’re trying to make it harder for women to travel to pro-choice states to get lifesaving care, and

Trump really said, “I love the inflation.” On camera. For all of America to hear. His contempt for you knows no bounds.

Last week, Republicans chose Trump’s mass deportation agenda over working families. How does this bill help Americans afford gas? A family hit with higher health care premiums? A small business owner squeezed by Trump’s tariffs?

4.2% inflation. The highest in three years. At some point, Republicans have to stop rubber-stamping every expensive priority and start focusing on lowering costs.JUST IN: US inflation jumped to 4.2% (y/y) in May —>the highest in 3 years and up from 2.4% in February before the war in Iran. Higher gas and energy prices drove 60% of the gain. Shelter and food (especially restaurants) also contributed. The monthly increase was 0.5%. Core

Republicans have already taken $1 trillion out of our healthcare system. They won’t stop until they dismantle it even further and take social security down with it. Americans pay for these programs. They should NEVER be cut so taxpayer funds can be funneled into the pockets ofMike Johnson admits Republicans will cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security next year
00:00 - Sheldon Whitehouse repostedAnother month of Trump’s illegal Iran war, another month of Trump’s tariffs, another month of Republican control of Congress. The result? A new all time high for Trumpflation.Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains. Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year. Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class
