Those impacted by Camp Lejeune’s toxic water are still fighting.
When I first called Jeanie Mason, her voicemail was the voice of her Marine husband, Dan, who died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August 2023.
"I can’t let him go,” she told us: https://t.co/CrLNJSa2T7
In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city,the president has called for a gov to be arrested &the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned & handcuffed, and 2 state legislators have been shot in their homes.
"[H]undreds of AL residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills as a direct result of Trump's actions [...] because one of Trump's executive orders froze a grant that assists low-income residents with their energy bills."

On Dec 20 ‘99, VT’s Supreme Court ruled that to extend equal right to same-sex couples “is simply, when all is said and done, a recognition of our common humanity.'' VT legalized civil unions the next year.
25 years on, it’s still a pretty damn good line.

@JBPritzker "To anyone who intends to come take away the freedom and opportunity and dignity of Illinoisans, I would remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior. You come for my people, you come through me."
When OH voters gave women like JD Vance's friend who became pregnant while in an abusive relationship the ability to access the abortion she so desperately needed, he called it a "gut punch." Don't fall for it. Vance doesn't give a sh*t about ensuring a woman's right to choose.
My friend @Tim_Walz is an excellent choice to be the next Vice President of the United States. I'm ready to work alongside the Harris-Walz team to help ensure victory for Democrats up and down the ballot in November.
Let's win this!
I've been fighting for reproductive rights my whole life - from marching with my mom as a kid to codifying abortion rights in state law when I became governor & founding @Think_Big_USA to protect & expand abortion access across the country. This fight is part of who I am.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade has led to countless women being denied life-saving care. Now, extremist politicians want to enforce a national abortion ban, putting millions of women’s lives at risk. Only we can stop them.
Think Big America, a nonprofit organization affiliated with Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, on Monday starts running its first paid advertising campaign of the 2024 election cycle across three “reproductive rights battleground states." https://t.co/IFjLr5FbfK
Two years ago, the Dobbs decision was leaked and Americans witnessed the beginning of the end of reproductive rights across the country.
Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and MAGA extremists are to blame for the destruction of reproductive rights across the country.
Q: Do you see standard IVF practices as murder?
Mike Johnson: It’s something that we've got to grapple with. It’s a brave new world. IVF’s only been invented in the early 1970s
Heartbreaking reality: Nearly 65,000 women who became pregnant after being raped didn't have access to an abortion.
That's 65,000 women whose freedom to choose after an unthinkable act was ripped away by politicians.
That's the impact of abortion bans.

Getting her an engagement ring for Christmas?
- predictable
- no element of surprise
- perhaps, too romantic
- not a legal form of ID
Getting her a lifetime fishing license for Christmas?
- instant shock and awe
- will never see it coming
- is an official state document
