Denying abortion care for those who have put their lives on the line for their country is "devastating" and "disrespectful." Interim Co-CEO @RachelFey spoke with @BrianToddCNN about how veterans and their families deserve better. Read more: cnn.com/2026/01/28/pol…

Birth control isn’t a luxury. It’s essential healthcare. That’s why I introduced the Access to Birth Control Act—to protect your choices for school, work, and family. #HandsOffMyBirthControl #ThnxBirthControl

The cruelty of this abortion ban in the VA care system is a worst-case scenario for veterans and families who rely on the VA for health care. Read more from Rachel Fey, VP of Policy, via @theintercept by @jessica_m_wash: theintercept.com/2025/08/13/vet…

Abortion access is critical for health & safety. The Trump admin’s proposed rule would abandon VA’s duty to protect veterans—even in cases of rape, incest or when their health is in danger. Sign our petition now to take action: votervoice.net/PowerToDecide/…

Narrowing or eliminating exceptions for abortion care could be devastating for veterans living in states with abortion bans. Rachel Fey, VP of Policy, discusses the implications of the pending rule. Read more by @jessica_m_wash via @theintercept: theintercept.com/2025/07/29/tru…

In a party-line vote, the House Energy & Commerce Committee just voted against an amendment from @RepFletcher that would have struck the "defund Planned Parenthood" language from the reconciliation bill.

Blocking people on Medicaid from going to Planned Parenthood for their care will only result in LESS access to contraception, STI testing and treatment, breast and cervical cancer screenings, and more. Contact your Reps NOW & tell them to oppose this bill: votervoice.net/PowerToDecide/…

🚨 Just now the U.S. Senate voted to confirm RFK Jr as Secretary of HHS. His record of anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, and anti-vaccine positions is dangerous.

We applaud @SenMarkey, @maziehirono, @SenDuckworth & @RepFletcher who introduced the Right to Contraception Act today. 👏 It affirms providers rights & ensures people have a right to receive contraception, a necessary protection with the growing threats against repro health care.

Thank you @RepBonamici @RepEmiliaSykes & @SenWarren for reintroducing the Stop Antiabortion Disinformation (SAD) Act, which would prohibit deceptive ads for abortion & other repro health services. This is needed to address the harms caused by CPCs, who deceive people seeking care

The answer is yes, Mr. Kennedy. It's called the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. And if you're going to be leading the department in charge of protecting access to emergency health care, you should know that.

🚨 RFK Jr. ALSO said that if confirmed as HHS Secretary, he agrees with President Trump that states should control abortion policy and will help restrict access even more– a catastrophic situation just getting worse. Remember, @AbortionFinder is here for you!

🚨During his HHS confirmation hearing, RFK Jr. said he will "support the policies of President Trump on [the] Title X [Family Planning Program]." Last time, those policies forced ~1,000 clinics out of #TitleX & cut birth control for 1.5M people. But sure, let’s do that again!

We’re heartbroken to learn of Cecile Richards’ passing. A tireless champion for reproductive rights, she supported our mission with generosity and strength during her time at Planned Parenthood and beyond. Now more than ever, we must honor her powerful legacy.

🚨Breaking: Soon, Congress is expected to vote on an anti-abortion bill rooted in disinformation and inflammatory rhetoric. The bill could impose penalties on abortion providers for providing compassionate care to patients and their families.

@KSoltisAnderson I’m so sorry Kristen. He was the best boy and we all loved the #dailywally updates. He will be so missed.

Your #dailywally is at peace. I am broken hearted that this morning we said goodbye to our very best boy, Wally. He had a delicious breakfast croissant, some snuggles, and a gentle goodbye. I don’t know what I’m going to do without him. I could write ten thousand words here about everything he meant to me. But I am comforted knowing he is at peace, and that we gave him the best possible life for the time he was in our family. I know Wally meant a lot to many of you, either by knowing him in real life or as a bright spot on your timeline these last six years. I never wanted the #dailywally to have to end. It’s unfair how short a time we get with our dogs. Sometimes people would hear that Wally was a rescue and tell us “oh, he’s so lucky to have you!” But I’ve always known it was the other way around, that it was us who had been so lucky to have Wally in our family.

How Democrats are approaching Trump's second term: Less outrage and #resistance, more tactical, "inch-by-inch" fights about the effects of his policies on working-class people.

A pregnancy center can bill the state $14 for distributing diapers that cost the center just over $.25. And before parents can get those diapers, they must take a class that the center can bill the state $30 for each hour of class a client attends. propublica.org/article/texas-…

@servicerotties My heart is breaking for you. I hope you know how much joy Kuno brought to folks like me who never got to meet him. You are such an amazing person and both Kuno and Chesnyy won the human lottery when they got you. Please do your best to take care of yourself. Love from MD, USA

Admin post: 💔 I'm struggling to put this in words. This evening, Kuno passed away. A day after his 8th birthday. He had fluid in his abdomen and was becoming septic. They did all sorts of diagnostics. The only possible treatment course would have been very invasive and had a low survival rate, especially in older dogs. The post-operative recovery would be very long and really hard on him, and that was if he could recover from the infection. He'd need feeding tubes the first while, and it's quite likely there would be permanent organ damage. If he survived, it would be highly unlikely he'd be a healthy dog. I chose not to put him through all that, and he was humanely euthanized. I sat with him, but I couldn't reach him when he was lying down, but his HumanFriend (Pistols dad) sat on the floor with him. He passed away peacefully. They also found a tumor on his spleen. Although it likely had nothing to do with this particular incident, they'd have taken the spleen as well to send to histology. I'm sure some of you have questions. They need to wait. Right now my heart hurts, but it also really hasn't hit me yet. I did expect this. He was fine. And now he's gone. He was what made my world good. He inspired me, and he made me push myself to get out in the world. He loved me when I resented my own limitations. He made so many things become possible. I'll do a better post later. Right now I'm tired and my head hurts from so much crying. I'm hoping when I wake up in the morning this will have all been a bad dream. But I know many of you care and were worried. I wanted to let you know. 💔
