Must-read thread. The battle women face. It's only going to get worse
https://twitter.com/txnewsprincess/status/1526917931766104071 This morning, in a FB group Im in, a woman told us she is having a miscarriage. Her doctor prescribed misoprostol to help her complete the miscarriage. The doctor had to spend 30 minutes explaining to a Walgreens pharmacist that she wasnt having an abortion
The first round of misoprostol didnt work. The doctor calls in another round, and she heads to the pharmacy to pick it up. After waiting 20 minutes, she is told by the pharmacist that theyve talked to colleagues and the corporate office, and have decided not to fill it.

Want PROOF of gas price gouging??
https://twitter.com/Scr0dman/status/1524701253669900290 Want proof that gas price gouging is underway? Compare oil and gas prices over the last 20 years.
Painfully obvious that #PriceGouging is underway
Oil is WELL BELOW the pre-Great Recession peak and WELL BELOW Obamas first term yet #gasprices are at record highs!

GOP donor described botched vote fraud probe in recording, prosecutors say
The call discussing a "citizens arrest" occurred days before an investigator working for donor Steven F. Hotzes nonprofit in Houston
Hotze claimed that private investigators funded by his nonprofit group had been trailing a mysterious white van as it shuttled phony ballots around the city in an effort to rig the upcoming election. He asked if federal authorities would help stop the van and apprehend its driver, but he added that one of his hard-nosed investigators was prepared to do the job himself, according to the filing by prosecutors in Harris County that included a transcript of the exchange.
In fact, he told me last night, hell the guys gonna have a wreck tomorrow night. Im going to run into him and Im gonna make a citizens arrest, Hotze told the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Texas, Ryan Patrick, a Trump appointee, who recorded the conversation.
Two days after the call, the private investigator Hotze had named ran a white van driven by an air-conditioning repairman off the road in Houston and held the driver at gunpoint during a futile search for forged ballots, county prosecutors allege.
Police have said the man was innocent. His truck contained repair parts.
