As Trump admits he “love[s] the inflation” and doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situations,” two-thirds of Americans say groceries are unaffordable, a 21-point jump from before Trump started his war with Iran. By a more than 3-to-1 margin, Americans say the economy is getting worse and more than twice as many voters say their personal economic situation is getting worse than getting better. Meanwhile, Trump’s deadly and costly war with Iran — which has already cost consumers nearly $150 billion, about $1,100 per household — is the most unpopular war since polls have been taken.

"THERE IS NOTHING MORE UN-CHRISTIAN THAN STEALING FROM THE POOR TO GIVE TO THE RICH...
THE CHRISTIANS IN CONGRESS SHOULD BE FEEDING THE HUNGRY, BUT THEY'RE CUTTING FOOD STAMPS. THEY SHOULD BE HEALING THE SICK, BUT THEY ARE CUTTING MEDICAID.
THEY SHOULD BE STANDING UP TO THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS, BUT INSTEAD THEY'RE CUTTING THEIR TAXES. SO THIS THIS MOVEMENT HAS NO BASIS IN THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS OR IN ANY OF THE MAJOR WORLD RELIGIONS." TEXAS STATE REPRESENTATIVE JAMES TALARICO

Pregnant people in crisis-affected settings are at greater risk of experiencing adverse health outcomes. In some cases, abortion is necessary to save the person’s life or preserve their health. When people are denied access to safe abortion care, they are at higher risk of resorting to unsafe methods that can lead to severe or life-threatening complications. Unsafe abortion is a leading cause of maternal mortality, causing an estimated 22,800—31,000 maternal deaths per year, worldwide.

On October 2, 2013, Steinem clarified her remarks on transgender people in an op-ed for The Advocate, writing that critics failed to consider that her 1977 essay was "written in the context of global protests against routine surgical assaults, called female genital mutilation by some survivors."[142] Steinem later in the piece expressed unequivocal support for transgender people, saying that transgender people "including those who have transitioned, are living out real, authentic lives. Those lives should be celebrated, not questioned."[142] She also apologized for any pain her words might have caused.[142]
On June 15, 2020, Steinem co-wrote a letter with Mona Sinha to the editor of The New York Times, in which they opposed the elimination of civil rights protections for transgender healthcare by the Trump administration. In it, they made note of precolonial American traditions of gender variance and claimed that "the health of any of us affects the health of all of us, and excluding trans people endangers us all."[143]

“I'd like to get right to the point, the attack on SPLC is nothing more than
part of a larger, broader coordinated attack on civil rights
organizations—not-for-profits—ones that work to ensure voters can vote,
that children can learn and people can live without fear.
Multiracial democracy is something Americans value, but as the
administration has gutted civil rights enforcement and the Supreme
Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act, it is in danger.”

Dani, crying: “I mean, if you think of each one of those as a person and a lot of them being underage, like, I was only 17. I was a kid. To look at how many lives it's derailed...”

Dani, spotting bookshelves full of Epstein books: “Oh my God. Wow.”

Katie, gesturing toward the bookshelves: “3,437 volumes. It's walls.”

Dani, examining a thick book: “I mean, just look at the sheer volume. The fact that people are still saying that there's nothing to investigate when this is, like, what you're looking at. It's just insane. This is, like, tangible. This is real. To see the person that scheduled me, who is still not behind bars, her name is here.”

• Pictured, right margin: a drawn portrait of George Takei
• Text: “George Takei
Actor, Writer & Activist
George Takei has achieved much in many areas, including acting, writing, and activism. He was born into a Japanese American family in Los Angeles in 1937. During World War II, the Takei family was interned at a camp in Arkansas and, later, a relocation center in California.
Following the war, the Takeis moved back to Los Angeles. George Takei went on to obtain undergraduate and master's degrees from UCLA in Theater. He further studied in England and Tokyo.
Takei's acting roles in television, movies, and Broadway have partnered him with John Wayne, Richard Burton, Alex Guinness, Martin Sheen, Jerry Lewis, Jamie Lee Curtis, and many others. He is most widely known for playing Enterprise's helmsman Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek: The Original Series. His many stage appearances include the play 8, written by Dustin Lance Black. Takei was interviewed in the documentary Do I Sound Gay? and was the subject of the documentary To Be Takei.” The book page is page 1, as shown at the bottom.
