@AJEnglish Of course this is a total invention but since we don’t have a nationalized industry who has taken and profited from stealing their oil?

BREAKING: US President Donald Trump says Venezuela’s oil has covered the cost of the war on Iran '25 times over', while the US Pentagon estimates the war has cost about $29bn, with some estimates higher. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/9ardgy

@samkarlin I was and didn’t win in 2 rounds. Then I found out that SBP has a program to do fortified roofs for those on a fixed income and they pay 100% and manage the whole project. Much better.

Louisiana folks: Have you been on the waitlist for the state's fortified roof lottery? Would love to chat. skarlin@theadvocate.com.

Buttigieg on Sean Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable and then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually what people are so frustrated about."

@ojvhteuhyhes @theashleyray What makes you think she’s a radical feminist?

radfems really do wake up every day and tweet something 10x more offensive to women than men and act like it’s feminism

@handslikevap0r Wouldn’t that be- uh- sex work? Which you are opposed to in all forms?

my boyfriend said he’d let me make out with clavicular on live stream

Happy Mother’s Day to Renée Good. Today, we honor her memory, her courage, & the ultimate sacrifice she made. She should be here with her babies today, but her legacy lives on in the people she loved, the lives she touched, & the continued fight for a more compassionate & just world. 💐

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP) No vote in Florida (+4 GOP) No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP) No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP) No vote in Texas (+5 GOP) Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out. MAGA has rigged the system.

@tinatinva @JoyceWhiteVance Than in-person

@tinatinva @JoyceWhiteVance Did you actually read this? It says the mail order procedures were even more efficacious than in-resin procedures with ultrasound. It also has the caveat that it is a limited observational study. Here is more data: ansirh.org/research/resea…

And of course it’s the fifth circuit that decides for women everywhere in the country, Mifepristone no longer available unless you can pick it up in person. Reminder: in Dobbs, the court said this should be up to each state. That’s not what this does. washingtonpost.com/health/2026/05…

This is literally the funniest moment in the history of American foreign policy.

Most Americans say Trump is mentally, physically unfit to serve effectively: Poll thehill.com/homenews/admin…

@tinatinva @JoyceWhiteVance Your adverse effects numbers are incorrect. Greatly exaggerated. Perhaps you have been misled rather than deliberately spreading false data. You say people are aborting infants which is untrue.

@DownriverUp @JoyceWhiteVance There is nothing inaccurate in what I have posted here.

@tinatinva @JoyceWhiteVance I’m not trying to - you’re all over the place. I just don’t want your misinformation to go unchecked.

@DownriverUp @JoyceWhiteVance Serious adverse effects are not ‘some side effects’ - these should be cared for in person. You will not change my mind.

@tinatinva @JoyceWhiteVance Some side effects are to be expected. Diarrhea, bleeding, cramping etc. but serious problems requiring medical intervention are .004%. The more you all limit a woman’s access to help, the more dangerous you make it.

@DownriverUp @JoyceWhiteVance Telehealth/no-test/mail models show effectiveness ~94–98% (complete abortion without further intervention) and serious adverse event rates ~0.25–1.1%

@tinatinva @JoyceWhiteVance The complication rate for misopropol is less than .04% it’s very safe.

@DownriverUp @JoyceWhiteVance Concern for both. Go watch the movie These Four Walls. I watched this kind of stuff in real time - un monitored abortion - is dangerous whether by pill or other means.

We now know the Iran war price tag is more like $50 billion - hundreds of dollars per household - and counting. It's enough to cover all the health insurance premium credits that the Republicans got rid of for this year, and next. It could save rural hospitals, pay teachers, fix roads. Don't let this White House insult your intelligence by blowing your money on war, then saying America can't afford nice things.

@tinatinva @JoyceWhiteVance Also, no one is aborting an infant.

@tinatinva @JoyceWhiteVance I see - the concern for the woman was a false flag.

@tinatinva @JoyceWhiteVance Yes we definitely should have safe and legal abortion in my state of Louisiana. That way we can legally obtain it in-state and have medical supervision.

@JoyceWhiteVance Women are bleeding out and dying from sepsis because there is no medical supervision on a medication with a black box warning. Sending this through the mail with no one local to assist- might as well send her to Walmart for a bottle of wine and a wire coat hanger
