This attack on free speech comes at the same time that legislators in Texas are proposing bills to make pro-choice websites illegal.

I really hope folks are paying attention

When a force this large leaves the world, it seems odd that the sun is still in the sky and the world is still turning. Don’t they know what happened?

My heart is broken for Cecile’s family - and for all of us. I wrote something over at the newsletter, but I don’t know that words can capture what a loss this is.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Written right there in the Constitution.

The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

Next week Texas Right to Life will roll out ads seeking abusive men to take legal action over their exes' abortions, as part of a chilling strategy to target abortion pills. I talked to experts @ifwhenhow on the terrifying trend of litigation abuse:

[Reproductive Freedom for All @reproforall]

Pam Bondi led on restricting abortion access in Florida as the state's attorney general. If she's confirmed as U.S. attorney general like Trump wants, she could work against reproductive freedom nationwide.

Tell your senators to VOTE NO ON BONDI now: https://t.co/WjjHEZG6FB

Last year alone, @UNFPA provided reproductive health services to over 10 million people and supported gender-based violence prevention and response services for 3.6M people. Funding UNFPA is critical for the well-being and empowerment of women and families worldwide!

[Caroline Kitchener @CAKitchener]

It’s not clear how Paxton found out about this woman’s alleged abortion. But one trend we’re seeing in a lot of cases that take aim at abortion pills: angry male partners.

Adeel Mangi’s nomination to be a Third Circuit judge was derailed by anti-Muslim attacks and criminal justice fear-mongering.

Mangi responded Monday with a four-page letter that does not hold back and should serve as a lesson to all. https://t.co/Jtlyro4OIf

[Mini Timmaraju @mintimm]

Just a reminder that Dr. Oz believes that life begins at conception and is anti-abortion. CMS has oversight over a wide range of reproductive health policy.

This is not ok.

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

John Oliver explains how Democrats can respond to the trans issue.

All they need to do is tell people there's no evidence that trans girls are at an unfair advantage or pose a threat to safety in athletic competition.

[Raya ♡ @lorayaxo]

voting against human rights is a character flaw

[Mini Timmaraju @mintimm]

Here’s my closing argument. Women are dying. Your vote can save lives.

That’s it.

Thank you to the staff, advocates & volunteers in our movement who have worked tirelessly on this election. We are grateful to you.

Now let’s do this.

1 day.

[Reproductive Freedom for All @reproforall]

Over 20 states have abortion bans because of the actions of Donald Trump—that means countless Americans are suffering, and even dying in some cases, because they can't get access the care they need.

He is responsible for this, and he's proud of it.

[Mary Ziegler @maryrziegler]

Partly bc SCOTUS punted on this case & mifepristone, the Court has barely been discussed when it comes to abortion this election. And yet these cases will come back, along with travel and abortion-related speech, and the next president will shape the courts and maybe SCOTUS too.

[Jessica Mason Pieklo @Hegemommy]

Welp it's another start to the Supreme Court term so remember to rest, hydrate, and scream into the void whenever the mood strikes

[Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti]

MINIMUM NATIONAL STANDARD IS THE SAME THING AS A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN

[Reproductive Freedom for All @reproforall]

At @HouseDemocrats Project 2025 hearing, a Georgia provider shares powerful testimony: "If these bans hadn't been put in place, I might have been the person to perform Amber or Candi's ultrasound… how many Black women have to die or will die as a result of abortion bans?"

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

In state after state, Trump Abortion Bans have criminalized reproductive care.

Must a woman be on death's door before a doctor or a nurse can provide help?

[Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti]

Amber Nicole Thurman was killed by Georgia's abortion ban. She died in a hospital, surrounded by medical providers who could have saved her life.

This is what abortion bans do.
