Only 6% of federal workers show up in person on a full-time basis, scathing Senate report reveals

Several liberal women have gotten sterilized or plan to, blaming their decision to become infertile on Donald Trump winning the 2024 presidential election.

In interviews with Newsweek, the women, including an OnlyFans model, said they are afraid of their “reproductive rights” being taken away once Trump becomes president again. Trump has repeatedly said he believes abortion is a states issue, although his left-wing opponents have baselessly claimed that he will ban abortion nationwide.
