@linsayrousseau.comTrump's Park Service chainsawed at least 430 trees at a 106-year-old public golf course in D.C. over a holiday weekend, after warning the judge at 4:55 on a Friday. The superintendent learned Trump's plans from social media. If they'll do this in the capital, what makes Yosemite safe? Watch now:
@linsayrousseau.comDOJ has an unwritten rule against moves like this close to an election. They searched Ilhan Omar's home three weeks out anyway. @rawstory.com was in my sources on this one.
@linsayrousseau.comA party that will trade away trans people for votes will trade away whatever you care about next. Erin's been saying it. Listen.

@linsayrousseau.comHomeland Security raided Rep. Ilhan Omar's home before dawn today, three weeks before an election she's on the ballot in, over her immigration paperwork. After months of smears from Trump, Vance and DHS, this is what intimidation looks like. If they'll do it to a member of Congress, who's next?
@linsayrousseau.comHappy Indigenous Peoples' Day. On Friday, Trump bragged "I resurrected Christopher Columbus." That same day his BLM let oil companies explore the Western Arctic with no environmental review, four miles from the Iñupiat village of Nuiqsut. Committed to the bit, I'll give him that.
@linsayrousseau.comThe Hyde Amendment turns 50 this year. Nourbese Flint, President of All* Above All, on what it is: Henry Hyde couldn't ban abortion for everyone in 1976, so he banned it for people on federal insurance, starting with Medicaid.

@linsayrousseau.comA federal judge just called a Flock search 'indiscriminate mass surveillance' and unconstitutional. I've been yelling about these cameras for a while. @404media.co has been doing the actual digging.
@linsayrousseau.comI covered Tennessee's failed execution of Christa Pike in the Gilead Gazette. @marisakabas.bsky.social talked to a reporter who was in the witness room when the curtain closed on a woman who was clearly still alive. Read it.
@linsayrousseau.comThis is the reporting behind the lead story in this week's Gilead Gazette. @garnethenderson.com at @autonomynews.co found a $4.3 million family planning grant going to a group that's never taken in more than $50k in a year. Follow them both.
@linsayrousseau.com"Bring back Roe" isn't enough. Nourbese Flint, President of All* Above All, on why: the Hyde Amendment blocked Medicaid coverage of abortion the whole time Roe was law.

@linsayrousseau.comThe Gilead Gazette: RFK Jr. gives birth control training to anti-abortion groups. Hegseth is sued for hiding his women-in-combat study. A GOP nominee says a child's rape can turn into "something incredible." ChatGPT and Grok will strip a Muslim woman's hijab. Watch now:

@linsayrousseau.comRosie Jimenez was 27, a single mom on Medicaid in Texas. In 1977 the Hyde Amendment cut off her abortion coverage. She died from an unsafe one. Congress has renewed Hyde every year for 50 years. Nourbese Flint, President of All* Above All, on my first Substack Live.
