My book, publishing May 21, is now available for preorder! It’s been an incredible honor to chronicle the stories of the patients who seek reproductive health care in post-Dobbs America. I can’t wait for more people to meet them. penguinrandomhouse.com/books…

Regarding Idaho, whose abortion rights measure fell short — leaving intact one of the strictest bans in the country, and one that has driven doctors en masse out of the state

Yup. The 2026 midterms are -- uh, were -- a health care election And now we see what that looks like for legislating thebulwark.com/p/why-2026-is…
Democrats will be able to pass health care bills that show what they care about, likely starting with reversing Medicaid cuts and restoring enhanced ACA subsidies. President Trump will veto those, and then the game of chess will begin to figure out what can get enacted.

I’m not joking when I say I’m more stunned about this than Talarico. Potential Democratic majorities in both chambers of the statehouse, sending bills to Gov. Gina Hinojosa
We're continuing to count the bodies at Texas Monthly: Democrats seem almost certain to take control of the Texas House, while Texas Senate control is in the air. Every statewide office and judicial race appears to have gone D. texasmonthly.com/news-politi…

"Shockingly, there appears to be a real chance of a Democratic trifecta—a Democratic governor, a Democratic state Senate, a Democratic state House." Hard to imagine there isn't a conversation about Texas' abortion ban if this happens

More context on how Marshall approached abortion (Hamilton says there is "moral tension" on the issue, but he thinks it should be legal) 19thnews.org/2026/10/roger-m…
U.S. Sen. @RogerMarshallMD ran a good race, and @SFLAction has lost a powerful Pro-Life Champion in the U.S. Senate this election. Thank you, Sen. Marshall, for your unapologetic leadership on Capitol Hill and unwavering commitment to protecting Life in law!
