ignoring the scary precedent this sets, that the family is being forced to pay for this is unconscionable.
The state of Georgia is keeping a deceased Black woman’s corpse hooked up to machines against her family’s wishes because she was 9 weeks pregnant and they cannot let them shut off the machines b/c it violates their anti-abortion laws
“ITS TORTURE,” says her family

There were no new revelations in the Epstein files and the content in the influencers’ binders had been available publicly on the internet for years.

If you saw the Hims & Hers Super Bowl ad about their “life-changing” approach to fixing American obesity and "the system," you should know they're actually just a compounding pharmacy selling non-FDA-approved mixes of weight-loss drugs - basically the apex of health care capitalism, warts and all

The future of journalism is incredibly bleak. An industry already in crisis now faces this + heightened legal threats + the “nonprofit killer” bill + tariff-induced cutbacks in household discretionary spending. It’s existential. If you can, please support journalism now, before the worst hits.
Brendan Carr, Trump's FCC chair pick, is signaling his intention to punish broadcasters that the incoming administration believes has been unfair to them.
He's doing something else here, too: he's discouraging broadcasters from critically covering Trump moving forward.

Important note for reporters covering the GOP's effort to ban trans women from bathrooms on Capitol Hill: while Sarah McBride and Nancy Mace both have private bathrooms in their offices, the trans people who are not elected officials who have to work there every day do not.
