    Absolutely important point --A person is 14x more likely to die by carrying a pregnancy to term than by abortion. The U.S. is the deadliest nation among peer countries to give birth. Ranks 50th in the world in terms of maternal safety.

    Pregnancy is the only life-threatening condition I have had. Perhaps you could focus on address the high maternal mortality rate.

    BREAKING: Body camera footage just released from yesterday's fatal shooting of 18yo Deon Kay in DC. The officer could have used "less-lethal tactics" but chose to SHOOT him instead... Even after he threw his gun on the ground. We need police reform NOW.

    Pregnancy is not a life-threatening illness, and the abortion pill does not cure or prevent any disease. Make no mistake, Mifeprex is a dangerous pill. That’s why 20 of my Republican colleagues and I are urging to classify it as such.

    One of the most important pieces of journalism all year -- with the stories of those being evicted and losing their livelihood every day due to the economic stresses of Covid-19. America is in crisis. Don't look away.

    "When Blitzer stated that voting twice that way would be illegal, Barr said he didn't know particular state laws." Wait, the AG isn't sure that voting twice is illegal? That he needs to check state law?👻

    Several seats. Signed, frustrated parents everywhere who are working and homeschooling with no plan in sight.

    Take a seat, GOP. How about instead of going after healthcare providers during a pandemic, you start coming up with a strategy to combat the worst public health crisis in history? Just a suggestion. 🤷‍♀️
