Trump's brutal immigration agenda has no precedent. “It’s important to understand that we’ve never had a president who uses power, and instruments of power, in this way... No one has flaunted the traditions or authority like he has." From Matt Shuham: huffpost.com/entry/trump-im…

I know there's a lot going on, but I would like to highlight that Mike Johnson slipped language into an otherwise routine House procedural vote yesterday that now blocks Democrats from forcing an investigation into Pete Hegseth’s Signal scandal, through October.

NEW: I have been tracking this case since this young man from Venezuela (no tattoos, no criminal record, immigration court date on the books) was sent to Bluebonnet, Tx, from Va and almost removed from the country until the April 19 SCOTUS order. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a…

NEW: Republicans are laying the groundwork to restrict the abortion pill with a new junk science report. huffpost.com/entry/gop-lays…

An anti-abortion report is being used to undermine decades of evidence-based, peer-reviewed data showing mifepristone is very safe. But this report isn't actually peer-reviewed. Why? Because of “the extensive pro-abortion bias in the peer-review process.” huffpost.com/entry/gop-lays…

In my new piece for Prism I spoke with LGBTQ advocates and parents of transgender athletes on how the community is refusing to comply with Trump’s transgender sports ban. Read more: prismreports.org/2025/05/01/mai…

NEW: Johnson promised this week that Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will redirect funds away from "big abortion and to federally qualified health centers." The latter being “over 2,700 pregnancy resource centers... helping more & more women choose life.” huffpost.com/entry/mike-joh…

JUST IN: Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed a bill that would've guaranteed Virginians the right to contraception. It's the 2nd time he's vetoed it. "The right to contraception is not a partisan issue. It’s a health care issue. It’s a freedom issue," said Planned Parenthood's Jamie Lockhart.

An estimated 4.2 million women & girls around the world faced unintended pregnancies due to Trump aid cuts. Aid workers and advocates described confusion and despair when critical repro health care simply disappeared overnight: huffpost.com/entry/42-milli…

New: Trump’s DOJ just sided with the Biden admin's defense of the abortion pill. It’s an unexpected move for the anti-abortion administration. Experts warned it's actually a calculated political move, not a defense of mifepristone. huffpost.com/entry/trump-bi…

New: Sen. Hawley intro'd a law to ban abortion pills by mail, citing an anti-abortion junk science report that has been making the rounds in conservative media. huffpost.com/entry/josh-haw…

So just to be clear, y’all’s transphobia did, in fact, result in a woman being attacked by a man in the women’s bathroom.

New: Abortion bans are disproportionately hurting LGBTQ+ people. “The attacks on gender-affirming care, the attacks on LGBT rights are about bodily autonomy in the same way that anti-choice efforts are attacks on our bodily autonomy," Caleb Smith told me. huffpost.com/entry/abortion…

.HuffPost turns 2-0 today. Old enough to vote, not quite old enough to drink, but like it’s Gen Z brethren still serving up no caps (how do you do fellow kids) Check out the site’s iconic moments over the years, starting way back in 2005: huffpost.com/entry/huffpost…

The GOP’s obsession with women having babies looks a lot like the past. Pro-natalism has historically been co-opted by far-right misogynist groups including fascist & authoritarian regimes. Today's growing pro-natalist movement has found a leader in Trump.huffpost.com/entry/gop-pro-…

This is super important: Alanna Vagianos interviewed a history professor about how authoritarian regimes use pro-natalism to trap women in the home. Really, don't miss this one: huffpost.com/entry/gop-pro-…
