News: Over 60 House Dems, led by @DemWomenCaucus, are pressing top pharma distributor AmerisourceBergen for answers on reports the company won't distribute Mifeprex, the brand name for abortion drug mifepristone, to pharmacies in up to 31 states 19thnews.org/2023/05/aborti…
@DemWomenCaucus .@rmc031 reported in March that AmerisourceBergen, the sole distributor of Mifeprex in the US, had told corporate clients it wouldn't distribute the drug to pharmacies in 31 states — the company has not confirmed the reports or said what those states are 19thnews.org/2023/05/aborti…
@DemWomenCaucus@rmc031 “This one company could be a determining factor in whether women can access medication abortion, so our ask here is simple: lawmakers want to see their list of states where they do not plan to supply this medication to pharmacies," said @RepLoisFrankel19thnews.org/2023/05/aborti…
New: I talked to first-term Michigan Democrat @RepScholten about how she wants Democrats to reclaim faith, freedom and "compassionate conservatism" going into 2024
“Our biggest mistake has been completely giving up that lane of faith,” she said. 19thnews.org/2023/05/hillar…
@RepScholten Scholten thinks her 13-point victory over a Trump-aligned candidate in November could be a blueprint:
"You don’t win by that margin just because people are rejecting something on the other side. We built something that attracted people to our message" 19thnews.org/2023/05/hillar…
@RepScholten "When I go to the prayer breakfast, it’s basically me, Lucy McBath and Ted Lieu who are the only ones there on the Democratic side. We just need to be engaging more on this issue — faith and freedom are so inextricably linked.” 19thnews.org/2023/05/hillar…
Florida just moved one step closer to banning abortion after 6 weeks, with the state Senate this afternoon passing a GOP-sponsored bill that bans most abortions after 6 weeks in a key access point state for the South
Story from @MelLeonor_ & me @19thnews: 19thnews.org/2023/04/aborti…
@MelLeonor_@19thnews If the bill passes + goes into effect, Florida will go from being a top state for access in the South to having...
• A 6-week ban
• Telemedicine abortion banned
• 24-waiting period
• Parental notification/consent requirement 19thnews.org/2023/04/aborti…
@MelLeonor_@19thnews “We will be the only state in the country with a six-week ban plus mandatory two trips without option for telehealth. It is beyond arcane,” @LeaderBookFL told us last week. The bill will go into effect if the FL Supreme Court upholds FL's 15-week ban 19thnews.org/2023/04/aborti…
👋🏼 hello from Madison, where abortion rights advocates are holding a rally (rescheduled from last weekend due to snow) at the state Capitol — and yes, that’s an angry uterus on a stick you see
Some signs, including a @taylorswift13-themed one — these attendees said they took inspiration from Pinterest
👋🏼 good morning from Mequon, Wisconsin, where @EricHolder came to rally folks ahead of a canvass for @Jodi4Senate, the Democrat running for a special state Senate election in the 8th district on Tuesday (not pictured: snow coming down outside)
.@SarahforWI kicking off a rally in downtown Milwaukee — says she’s here not in her capacity as WI Secretary of State but as “one pissed off Wisconsin woman”
Another curious angle of the George Santos saga flagged by an eagle-eyed tipster: Santos didn't play volleyball at Baruch College. But who did? Pablo Oliveria aka Pablo Patrick, founder/CEO of Linkbridge Investors, where Santos listed being a VP starting in 2017 on his resumé
Here are headshots of Pablo Patrick (aka Pablo Oliveria) and George Devolder (aka George Santos) in a pitch to the LA County Employees Retirement Association for a 2019 Linkbridge investors meeting in NYC lacera.com/sites/default/… — (big h/t to @iamrachelwolf for finding this)
