Senate Republicans say they will only agree to extend expiring ACA funds if Democrats accept new, stricter abortion restrictions on insurance plans, creating a major standoff that threatens to raise premiums next year.

...so once again, Womxn's Bodily Autonomy is on the line.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.

In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”

And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

I’m still EIC for a few more weeks as I transition out and wrap up some big projects. A small team of Teen Vogue editors remains and deserve support, too.

Much more to come, but thank you all for supporting us on this incredible journey. Teen Vogue forever. ✊🏾❤️

I will always believe that young people are the greatest force we have for changing the world for the better.

Zohran Mamdani’s exciting victory in New York - in an election with the highest turnout in decades - shows that. Young people deserve media for them, by them, and that respects them.

We put diverse faces and bodies on our covers, explored everything from sustainability in fashion to the fight for abortion rights, and sought to empower and elevate people changing the game across industries. We tell stories that no one else does, because we understand the power of being seen.

Hi.

I’ve been editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue for the last 4.5 years — a dream job, one I never thought a Brown girl from small town Louisiana might hold.

I am so incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and what we accomplished. Our journalism has won major awards. (cont’d)

Same, John. Ours is going to 3400.00/mo. And you can't get out of it. You either pay it in premiums or you pay it in premiums plus all of the out of pocket. It's the same.
