Good Trouble
“I just received an email from the Center for Reproductive Rights saying that Trump’s GSA cut off the connection that let visitors to their website send comments to regulations.gov. The CCR has been asking people to use that link to voice their opposition to the Trump administration’s attempt to ban abortion care for veterans and their families, even in cases of rape, incest or medical emergencies. Wouldn’t it be great if Beans listeners made up for the lost comments by sending thousands today?” Go to regulations.gov and search for Reproductive Health Services or use this link: regulations.gov/commenton/VA-2025-VHA-0073-0002
