The White House has some plans to incentivize women to get pregnant — and we're not talking affordable healthcare, paid parental leave or better childcare. Lyz Lenz writes for her newsletter, Men Yell At Me, about incentives such as $5,000 baby bonuses, menstrual cycle charting and Fulbright scholarships. Then there's the fact that Donald Trump is styling himself as the "fertilization president." "Just the phrase 'fertilization president' made millions and millions of embryos in the bodies of women yeet themselves themselves right on out of their respective uteruses," Lenz says.

“Environmentalists have long faced harassment, imprisonment and other forms of retribution in some parts of the world,” writes Sharon Lerner for @ProPublica. “The U.S. has largely been an exception, a place where people and organizations can freely and safely pursue efforts to protect human health and nature — sometimes working hand in hand with the government.” All that’s changed. Lerner spoke to Abigail Dillen, president of Earthjustice, about the escalating hostility environmentalists face, and what she thinks is behind the Trump administration’s targeting of groups who do environmental work.

Political leaders don’t just need confidence — they need competence, and America’s problem right now is that the system can’t distinguish between the two. @Daojoan writes for her Index newsletter about the need for discernment. We need institutions, parties and leaders that know how to measure actual competence, not just performance,” she writes. “We need politicians who are humble enough to say, ‘I don't know,’ and voters who don't mistake that for weakness. And we need journalists who can tell the difference between a compelling narrative and a grift.”

The Trump administration hasn't targeted businesses that sponsor Pride events (yet), but that hasn't stopped some from pulling their funding. Several celebrations are down hundreds of thousands of dollars this year as a result of reduced or withdrawn donations. Some smaller, rural Pride events are down between 70 and 90 percent in sponsorship dollars compared to an average year. “We will remember who stood by us and who didn’t," Suzanne Ford, executive director of San Francisco said of disappearing sponsors. "When it was politically popular, they were lined up.”
