  Hi there, It’s Wednesday. The UK government is in turmoil after last week’s disastrous election results for the Labour party, with many demanding Prime Minister Kier Starmer to set a timeline for resigning or resign outright. South Carolina Republicans reject map that would have eliminated Rep. Jim Clyburn’s, the sole Democrat representing the state, seat. And FBI Director Kash Patel loses it under Senate questioning about his reported drinking on the job. Patel’s conduct as FBI Director has raised growing concerns about both his qualifications and his ability to responsibly lead one of the country’s most powerful law enforcement agencies. The FBI is not a partisan platform—it is an institution entrusted with national security and the rule of law. When questions about preparedness, temperament, and qualifications are downplayed in favor of spectacle or partisan framing, the public is left without a clear understanding of the risks involved in placing unqualified leadership at the...

An unlawful, cruel assault on marginalized people

  This week while the Supreme Court heard arguments for  Medina vs. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic,  I stood on the steps of the Court to call out Republicans’ coordinated attacks on health care and Medicaid. Now as we get into it, let me start by saying: This entire case is an unlawful, unjust, and cruel assault on Black women, people of color, and other vulnerable people who get their health care through Medicaid. The case began in 2018, when South Carolina’s governor tried to ban Medicaid patients from getting their health care from Planned Parenthood. Now, this Supreme Court decision could keep people who use Medicaid from visiting Planned Parenthood for essential, routine care — care that has nothing to do with abortion, I might add. That’s birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, wellness exams. This case is an assault on low-income folks, the LGBTQIA+ community, people with disabilities, and those in rural and underserved communities. All peo...
