Andrea Pedro Francisco was scheduled to have surgery to remove an ovarian cyst in February but was detained by ICE, which has repeatedly denied her surgery.

Nine doctors who reviewed her case said she’s at risk of a medical emergency. https://t.co/aINX7T1BbR

Every single Senate Dem comes out in support of abortion pill hours ahead of a much-anticipated SCOTUS ruling. https://t.co/KF0WT5zPvf

ICYMI: “The only way for us to really stop this back and forth is to have abortion access be legal in all 50 states,” @mintimm said. “The only way we do that is through federal legislation, which makes the midterm elections even more urgent.”

8 in 10 Americans support reproductive freedom. Republicans know that.

That’s why Trump is trying to have it both ways — saying “leave it to the states” in public while the anti-abortion extremists he's empowered push a backdoor national abortion ban through the courts.

“It is now much more difficult for people to access abortion care,” @mintimm, the president and CEO of @reproforall, said in a statement. “Anti-abortion politicians know their policies are unpopular, so they are using every lever of government they can.”

The FDA granted “expanded access” to a promising pancreatic cancer drug, allowing it to be given to a wider population of patients while it remains under regulatory review.

The agency said it recognizes the dire need for a drug to fight the disease. https://t.co/F4xpQD6O3k

This is arguably the biggest attack on abortion access since Dobbs. 🚨

BREAKING: A federal appeals court has blocked mailing prescriptions to mifepristone, restricting access to one of the most common means of abortion. https://t.co/NbIBTAT0UE

[Julianne McShane @JulianneMcShane]

❗ BREAKING @MSNOWNews: The conservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana just temporarily blocked telehealth provision of abortion pills nationwide.

This will have immediate, sweeping implications for access.

Story TK.

I found Juana.

She was among several pregnant women removed from the Dilley detention center for hours during @JoaquinCastrotx ‘s visit last Friday.

Despite being 36 weeks pregnant, Juana was put on a plane and deported that evening.

If you care about the future of the Democratic Party, you should be outraged about what AIPAC is doing in Chicago right now.

They’re using shell organizations to try to crush progressive candidates in secret.

We can’t let them get away with it.

Have had the pleasure of working with Patrick for several years now, at different points of my career, and I’m looking forward to continuing working with him for many more.

Going to keep bugging him with pitches and scoops because I know he’s not going anywhere.

[Patrick Svitek @PatrickSvitek]

I was laid off today from the Washington Post’s campaigns team covering the midterms and 2028.

I hear this is an important election year — and I want to cover it aggressively. If you’d like to work together, my DMs are open and you can email me at [email protected].

[Jen Ramos 💃🏽 @itsJenRamos]

Patrick is a world class journalist who did amazing work covering Texas politics and the Washington Post. Any publication worth their salt should hire him in a heartbeat.

[Maegan Vazquez @maeganvaz]

The @washingtonpost has laid off hundreds of journalists.
