This ruling amounts to a nationwide abortion ban. Mifepristone is safe, full stop. This isn’t about science and protecting women, it’s a calculated plot by Republicans obsessed with controlling the private health care decisions of women in America.
Just in: A federal appeals court has restricted access to one of the most common means of abortion in the U.S. by blocking the mailing of mifepristone.
Palantir’s manifesto confirms our worst fears: the company running our surveillance state is fueled by dangerous prejudice. @wyden.senate.gov @velazquez.house.gov & I are demanding answers from DHS & ICE to reveal how this data is being used & on whom. There must be proper oversight of these tools.
This is a big win. Congress is waking up to the insanity of letting the government spy on Americans without a warrant. The only path forward on FISA is reform.
CHAOS: -House GOP recessed Rules Cmte without a path forward on extending FISA (expires in 2 days) -Johnson wants to change the Senate's partial DHS funder ($ runs out in 2 days) -House GOP are now fighting about the FARM bill too I said this week would be toxic: punchbowl.news/archive/4282...
Teen suicide rates are down 11% since I helped create the national teen suicide hotline. Republicans are actively trying to defund it so they can pay for Trump's war in the Middle East. They don't care if kids die as a result as long as they get their oil.
Nearly 4,400 fewer U.S. teens and young adults died by suicide than projected in the first two-and-a-half years of the 988 mental health crisis hotline, a sign the program is working even as it faces long-term funding challenges. https://to.pbs.org/4cFt4ao
Any member of Congress that votes for a clean FISA reauthorization is voting to hand Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Donald Trump the power to spy on Americans without a warrant on a silver platter.
House leaders are selling a new FISA deal as reform. A careful read shows the "Fourth Amendment" section bars conduct that's already illegal, the new oversight office is a fraction of what Patel just shuttered, and the FBI can still search Americans' comms without a warrant.
I’ll continue fighting like hell to sound the alarm and throw up roadblocks. But if the thought of the Trump administration having these powers scares you, now’s the time to make your voice heard.
The deadline to renew the law is coming up next week. Trump needs both Republicans AND Democrats to vote to reauthorize this law. Anyone with a pulse ought to see that in no world should Trump and Kash Patel have these powers.
702 abuses span across administrations and political spectrums. I’ve fought for reforms to Section 702 of FISA during every administration. This isn’t a red issue or a blue issue – it’s a civil liberties issue. Security and liberty aren’t mutually exclusive.
Also in 2024, Congress expanded the range of who can be forced to comply with Section 702 surveillance orders. Your cable guy could be forced to install spyware on behalf of the government and help them surveil you.
Stephen Miller is behind the Trump administration’s push to reauthorize 702. They have already designated “Antifa” organizations as foreign terrorist groups. It’s likely Miller will use 702 to surveil, target, and suppress activists on the left.
In 2024, Congress expanded Section 702 to cover “illicit synthetic drugs.” I fear the Trump administration could target women living in states with abortion restrictions that get abortion medications from overseas providers.
