The House passed a bill allowing the president to revoke nonprofits’ tax-exempt status if deemed terrorist-supporting, which critics, including Planned Parenthood and the ACLU, argue could threaten healthcare services like cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing, abortion care, and gender-affirming care; as the bill moves to the Senate, Planned Parenthood warns of potential funding cuts affecting public healthcare.
The ACLU and reproductive rights groups like Planned Parenthood of America vocally opposed the bill and tried to warn lawmakers of the dangers.
First time the bill almost passed it included yays by Democrats like Adam Schiff. This says 15 Democrats still voted for it. Won’t be long before humanitarian nonprofits are labeled terrorist organizations for sending food to kids.
I’ll take small wins where I can: That 15 is down from something like 57 from last time. Reach out to your Senators in mass numbers. Let your voice be heard. We cannot know the impact that will have unless we try.
They just lost to Trump cause they couldn’t bother listening to voters. I love your optimism, but I say its time we kick em to the curb and get some real progressives.
This is done in the primaries.
I agree. However, the Democrat name still has respect. I say we reform the party by keeping the name and replacing the old fools who seem so intent on learning the wrong lessons.
Does it though? I guess people like the idea of what they imagine Democrats can be again, or become, but that ship sailed a long time ago. Facebook rebranded to Meta after the Cambridge Analytica scandal and that seemed to have worked well.
It’s not like you can get fined for given food to homeless people in the USA already in places. This won’t be abused /s
