There seems to be some confusion about the SAVE America Act. If it becomes law, you will NOT be able to vote with your drivers license alone.
Youād need:
1. A passport, which more than half of Americans donāt have and costs at least $130
OR
2. A birth certificate PLUS your photo ID with matching names, which nearly 70 million married women lack
OR
3. Military services papers (not a military ID alone) with sensitive info.
Iām voting NO.
Republicans have introduced a bill that would disenfranchise millions of women from voting if their married name doesnāt match the name on their birth certificate.
āAll it does is sow hatredā is wild coming from the dude whoās been spreading & encouraging racism, sexism, and homophobia and actively stripping millions of peopleās rights away
The Donald Trump administration has excluded nursing, physical therapy, and public health as āprofessionalā degrees under new federal student-loan rules.
These fields will now be considered āgraduateā programs, and loans will be limited to $20,500 a year, compared to āprofessionalā degrees, where the limit is $50,000 a year.
This administration is hurting Iowans. We need a Representative who will listen to what our neighbors are going through and stand up for us in Congress.
People donāt realize how safe and effective acetaminophen is for pain and fever. By scaring people away from Tylenol, fevers will either go untreated (dangerous, especially for young children and fetuses) or NSAIDs will take its place, which carry much more significant side effects, like stomach ulcers or kidney injury. Itās not hyperbole to say the president yelling at people not to take this medication will lead to deaths.
Guns don't care about ideology.
Guns don't care about politics.
Guns don't care about religion.
Guns don't care about race.
Guns don't care.
Guns are tools built to kill. When they're easy to get, they will be used to do exactly that over and over again.
Something must change.
Congress has officially passed Trumpās āOne Big Beautiful Bill.ā It now heads to his desk to be signed into law.
The bill extends tax cuts for the wealthy, overhauls programs like Medicaid and SNAP, increases border and military spending, along with a multi-trillion dollar increase to the debt ceiling.
People going off about how tasteless it is for her to say the survival is the worst outcome donāt seem to understand that the worst outcome will actually be the precedent this sets rather than people actually caring about the preemie that was born. āOh well it happened with so and so and it survived so why not keep other women who are on life support as an incubator?ā This issue is morally wrong. It shouldnāt have come to this.
West Virginia prosecutors will charge women who have a miscarriageāstarting at 9 weeks.
Felony charges would be brought following an "involuntary abortion"āor miscarriage.
āIf you were relieved, had been telling people, 'Iād rather get ran over by a bus than have this baby,' that may play into law enforcementās thinking, too,ā Raleigh County Prosecuting Attorney Tom Truman explained.
"The kind of criminal jeopardy you face is going to depend on a lot of factors," he added.
"What was your intent? What did you do? How late were you in your pregnancy? Were you trying to hide something, were you just so emotionally distraught you couldnāt do anything else?"
A number of criminal charges under State Code 1āincluding feloniesācould be levied against a woman who flushes fetal remains, buries them, or otherwise disposes of them.
FYIāState law does not require a woman to notify authorities when she miscarries.
