"We always knew that the anti-abortion movement was not stopping at abortion, and this new guidance is further evidence of their plot to ban birth control by making it impossible to access."

Trump's lawyers in talks with IRS to resolve his $10B lawsuit

The Trump administration says it’s in talks with the IRS to resolve a $10 billion lawsuit over leaked tax information. Tax and ethics experts say the lawsuit raises legal and ethical questions. In a Friday federal court filing, President Donald Trump requests an extension to potentially resolve or narrow the dispute. Trump filed the lawsuit in a Florida federal court earlier this year, alleging reputational and financial harm from the leak. Former IRS contractor Charles Edward Littlejohn was sentenced to five years in prison in 2024 for leaking tax information about Trump and others.

“The goal is to flood the zone with so much anti-birth control content that young women believe we’re encountering this content organically. In reality, what we’re experiencing is a coordinated effort by right-wing actors, steadily manufacturing our consent to ban birth control—and more.”
