And in January of 2004, I was evacuated from Russia to London because I was hemorrhaging with what turned out to be a potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy.

And, you know, I mean, look, we're at war on... on women now in this country, along with all the many other shocking things that are occurring. And I can tell you, if it was men who face the possibility of bleeding out and dying from ectopic pregnancies, then we wouldn't be talking about it like it was some optional abortion procedure, which it's not.

That's the world that we're living in right now. So I appreciate you bringing it up. Even though it's one example, I think it speaks to a larger... phenomenon that's happening in our society due to the toxic politics that we have.

Yeah, I mean, I really, again, that is a piece that I highly recommend. Larry Diamond is one of the foremost scholars of democracy around the world, scholar at Stanford University. And in this piece, he makes a distinction that I think is really important because Trump has operated on such a broad front. You know, you can conflate different things, but not all aspects of this crisis are equal.

And, you know, while there are, let's put aside for a second, the many extreme far right policies that he and his team are seeking to implement. many of which might be implemented by another Republican president. So, you know, even if you or I disagree with any aspect of it, you know, there are the policy disputes that are extreme but fall within the spectrum of American political discourse.

But then there's the frontal attack on the structures of American democracy. And, you know, his point, which again, I feel like it should be said again and again and again, what's Dangerous is not that Donald Trump and Elon Musk don't like foreign aid to take the conversation we were just having about USAID.

The thing that makes it radical and scary is the unilateral assertion of authority. Congress has appropriated the money, has authorized the creation of this foreign aid agency, has appropriated the billions of dollars to carry out this strategy. If they don't like it, then they have to play by the rules of our system
