The fate of the abortion pill mifepristone is now before the Supreme Court, after a fifth-circuit appeals panel of three judges ruled against its distribution last summer.

According to a new report, the wife of one of those judges—James Ho, a Trump appointee who previously served as the solicitor general of Texas—took at least six payments between 2018 and 2022 from the conservative legal group that brought the case to court.

    The US is systematically failling. Just going to an election every couple years to decide between two parties who are both reponsible for and defending this current status is not going to cut it.

      How are people like you still both-sides-ing for upvotes when one of those two parties is filled with literal fascists and Nazis and the other just forgave billions of dollars worth of student debt? Wake the fuck up. Your false equivalence only serves to help the fascists. Unless, of course, that is your goal?

        Umm, akchually, fascist = fascist, sure, but antifa - anti = fa = facesit = fascsist, so clearly, as proven by my undisproveablely proveable equation, both sides are clearly fascist, frogs are gay. If democrats are stonewalled every step of the way, clearly theyre just not democracying as hard as republicans are fascisting so theyre to blame just as much as the other so, again, both sides = same.

        Check.

        Mate.

        Reality.

        It’s this absolutely blind adherence to a party that pretends to care about you. You’re just looking like a tool thinking Democrats aren’t racist fascists, thinking they aren’t taking corrupt money and skirting the will of the people.

        You bring up student debt, but forgot to mention that Biden is funding Trump’s Hitlerian wall. Biden busted unions. Gaza.

        Sounds like you’re the one dumbing down your own beliefs to feel comfortable with the Democratic Party.
