I'm an abortion provider. I won't be silenced by Congress.
Today's newsletter starts with a column from an abortion provider and what Congress is doing on the topic.

Over the last week, we have had a front-row seat to the desperation for power and control that exists within the anti-abortion political establishment – political theater to which no one purchased a ticket.

A few columns to read

►As if trying to take all the cliches about crooked Chicago politics and distill them into one magically potent anecdote, Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot's reelection campaign decided it would be a fine idea to solicit public school students to help her win another term in office.

The Biden administration isn't afraid to impose its agenda on the American people. And citizens should not become numb to government overreach and nanny state antics.

►Greetings, fellow Americans. I am writing this column from atop a gas stove I have patriotically chained myself to in case President Joe Biden sends one of his communist stovetroopers to confiscate my beloved cooking appliance.
