I spoke with several CDC workers cut from the highly-specialized Division of Reproductive Health that monitored IVF & tracked maternal/infant health. "Health will likely get worse & you may not even know it. We won’t see the effects until it’s too late.” huffpost.com/entry/trump-iv…
US fertility, per new CDC data: ⚫ In 1990, teens accounted for 12.8% of US births, and just 4 percent by 2023. ⚫In 1990, women 40 and older accounted for 1.2% of births, and 4.1% by 2023 ⚫ In 1990, 7 in 10 births were to women under 30. By 2023, less than 1 in 2 (48.6%).

NEW: I wrote about Dr. Maggie Carpenter, the New York abortion provider who is facing criminal charges in Louisiana and a $100,000 penalty (with interest) in Texas. It's part of an evolving "states' rights" strategy to restrict abortion nationwide vox.com/abortion/40048…
🚨 First case of criminal charges filed against a doctor mailing abortion pills to another state. “I have said it before and I will say it again: We will hold individuals accountable for breaking the law.” - Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill washingtonpost.com/national/2025/…

.@peterwallsten is one of America's best editors. We were thrown together for what was supposed to be a 1-month interim period: The senior politics editor and the abortion reporter. I can't believe I was lucky enough to work with him for the last 3 years.nytco.com/press/peter-wa…
The reason why you know about this in the first place is because of the late night and early morning work of reporters at @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
Of course, the White House press corps will be all over Trump for this lawless removal of inspectors general. Hahahaha
Another fired inspector general learned of his ouster by reading the email for the first time while on the phone with a Washington Post reporter who had called to ask about it. Read @Reinlwapo @DavidNakamura @mviser washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
Will be interesting to see what he says after backing away from the issue so much during the VP debate
BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance set to speak at the 2025 March for Life. Here he is in 2023 at the Ohio March for Life. We're stoked to welcome him to the National stage this year!
“The titans who gathered to salute Trump control large stretches of modern life. They help decide how Americans shop (in the case of Bezos) and how they organize the world … they help decide how they talk to each other and which voices are elevated.”washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
