Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The first few weeks of Trump 2.0 has felt like all DOGE all the time: Elon Musk deployed his minions to as many agencies as possible, accessing data servers and trying to fire workers, while groups file lawsuits to try to stop them. There hadn’t been many meaningful changes on abortion and bodily autonomy thus far, until last week when the Trump administration took action in three different court cases. Unsurprisingly, none of it is good. All three moves are ripped from the Project 2025 playbook written for the first 100 days of a Republican president’s term, which Trump tried to disavow on the campaign trail.

Articles that you have to read? Ugh they’re the worst

They’re moving to join a lawsuit banning telemedicine visits for mifepristone

They’re moving to participate in arguments alongside the Supreme Court about whether states can exclude planned parenthood from Medicaid, even if it doesn’t provide abortion

They dismissed a lawsuit that the Biden DOJ filed against Idaho because idahos anti abortion law conflicts with laws that say emergency rooms that receive federal funding (which is most of them) need to provide stabilizing care, which can include abortions for pregnant women. As a result during the time idahos law was in effect several women had to be air lifted out of state because of the possibility they would need an abortion to stabilize them/save their lives

There is more context for the final point and important context for the first two as well. Just read articles. The country is already stupid enough because we only read biased headlines (and maybe the first paragraph that gets posted to a link aggregator like this site or reddit) and fill in the blanks

It appears the user was willing to read but couldn’t get past the website’s ad wall. Even if they could, however, it’s nice when folks like you are kind enough to offer a summary, time permitting. Thank you.
