When we warned you that they'd pass a total ban on abortion in North Carolina if @markrobinsonNC was elected Governor, this is what we meant. This is the bill they wanted to pass, but can't.
House Bill 804 would be the strictest abortion ban in the nation. Not only does it ban abortion in every situation except to save a woman's life (with no other exceptions), it also seeks to punish and imprison women who seek abortions, with up to life in prison without parole and a $100,000 fine.
This is the bill that has majority support in the Republican caucus.
Thankfully, @JoshStein_ is Governor, and they don't have the votes to override his veto on this. And the first rule of legislating is, you don't bring up bills you don't have the votes for. So this thing is dead - for now.
But if you give these people an inch, they're out here showing you what they want to do.
BREAKING: It’s all a farce!
Remember a couple weeks ago the Trump administration held this massive press conference to celebrate the capture of “MS-13 leader” Henrry Villatoro Santos?
Well Today they are abruptly dropping charges. It’s all fake.
There was no deal. He created a completely artificial problem by imposing tariffs to tank the market, then he removed his own tariffs so that his corrupt friends and family could make money.
Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hours should probably disclose that now.
I’ve been hearing some interesting chatter on the floor.
Disclosure deadline is May 15th. We’re about to learn a few things.
It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.
Autism absolutely is linked to genetics.
Yes, there is substantial research showing a strong link between autism and genetics.
Key Findings from Research on Autism & Genetics:
• Genetic heritability of autism is high. Studies estimate that 50% to 80% of autism risk comes from inherited genetic factors.
• Twin studies have shown that if one identical twin has autism, the other has a 60-90% chance of also being diagnosed.
• Many different genes have been associated with autism — it’s not caused by a single gene but rather hundreds of possible genetic variations.
• Both rare mutations (like in genes such as CHD8, SHANK3, SCN2A) and common inherited variants contribute to autism risk.
• De novo mutations (new mutations not inherited from parents) are also common in autism, particularly in families with no previous history.
• Copy number variations (CNVs) — where chunks of DNA are duplicated or deleted — are more frequent in autistic individuals.
• Genetic factors influence autism more than environmental factors, though environment can still play a role.

Bottom Line:
Autism has one of the strongest genetic components of any neurodevelopmental disorder, but it is genetically complex. Most cases result from a mix of inherited genes and new mutations, with environmental factors playing a secondary role.
Would you like me to pull specific studies or show a graphic of how autism genes overlap?
@krassenstein I still have a deep affection for America.
But loving something doesn’t mean pretending it isn’t burning down its own credibility in broad daylight.
This isn't leadership, it’s stock market cosplay with nukes in the background.
From a European:
“How are you not mad. As an European I have always been pro American, however what the f-ck is this. Your president is making your country look like a clown sh-t show, signs tariffs threatens to declare like 500 wars and now clearly in front of everyone’s eyes dumbs and pumps the market. He proceeded to tweet about it before just so it doesn’t legally count as insider trading but come on. How are you not feeling sick physically from this? “
I feel like the fact that Martha Stewart was sent to prison for far less than what Donald Trump and his band of clowns have done and are credibly accused of should be a bigger story.
Jefferson Griffin and the @NCGOP are trying to steal an election in North Carolina, and if their co-partisans on our state courts allow them, it won't be the last one.
If they planned this from the beginning, like they now claim—that’s not leadership. That’s market manipulation.
Think about it: telling your followers to buy low, flipping a major trade policy mid-hearing without telling your own team, then watching the market soar? That’s not a coincidence. That’s a coordinated move to profit off chaos.
What else could it be?
Watching the media just go back to the next story and whitewash the utter insanity of the past week is a significant part of how Donald Trump was elected twice to a position he is extraordinarily unqualified for.
We have normalized insanity and the result will be more insanity
8 in 10 married women have changed their surname which means they don’t have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name.
69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act.
The GOP is trying to silence women across the country. #HandsOffHerVote
