Word. BTW , Dems already have that big tent. It's this: Don't believe in abortion? DON'T HAVE ONE. NO ONE is abduction pregnant women and forcing them to have abortions.

So -- regarding RFK's stammered, incoherent response to Senator Baldwin's question on mifepristone, I gather that the 100+ peer-reviewed studies attesting to its safety are not sufficient in the face of what? The Trump administration's policies? Politics over science. Yay. Good to know. Thank you, Senator Baldwin, for your questions which made this reality quite clear. And thank you, Jessica, for posting their interaction.

I think higher than truth and lies, at this point anyway, is the difference between right and wrong.

I believe that there is no absolute truth, or at least no way for human beings to know anything for absolute certain, but for most human transactions we need some sharable definition of truth, as it might be determined in a court, in commerce, in interactions with others. It seemed that by and large Lincoln told "the truth", Jimmy Carter told "the truth". Alexander Vindman told "the truth"; Trump does not, and lies such a Trump and his ilk are telling causes damage, even kills.

Also worth noting, Senator Lankford declares that “…if you have an ectopic pregnancy, you no longer need to see a physician…” which shows how uninformed he is. I’ve been pregnant several times and while I was able to take a pregnancy test at home to confirm my pregnancy, none of the tests on the market are able to inform me if the pregnancy is ectopic. In order for a women to know it’s an ectopic pregnancy, she would need to see a physician. I don’t know how we’re going to survive with this level of clowning in charge.

Thank you, Jessica, for doing this work. Without you, we’d have no clue about what is going on re abortion.

I do hold the Trump voters accountable. The situation in this election was entirely different than 2016. Trump caused a violent insurrection in 2021, stole vital US gov documents and wouldn't return them, tried to force Georgia to throw out votes, paid off a porn star, committed financial fraud, raped a woman in a department store. Need I go on? And I do hold third party candidates accountable and people who could not be bothered to vote (not the threatened gerrymandered ones).
