No, HHS, menopause does not in fact cause divorce and death, but tell us more about how great you are at women's health. @juliannemcshane.bsky.social and I wrote about how they somehow managed to mess up what should have been good news on HRT with weird claims. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The many problems with the FDA’s big menopause announcement
No, it doesn't kill women or cause divorce.

The ACA marketplace + tax credit system has really never worked as promised. Yet of course Trump managed to come up with something worse
Here is my latest for @msnbc.com, on Trump's ill-advised concept of a plan for health care, which entails repealing the ACA, and redistributing private insurers' tax breaks to the people for what would essentially amount to an HSA, which is unhelpful if not wealthy. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Opinion | Trump’s new plan for Obamacare leaves Americans to fend for themselves
We finally know what “concepts of a plan” looks like – and it’s not good.

What can Congressional Democrats be counted on for at this point other than consistent and humiliating fumbles
Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.
Tentative Senate deal to end shutdown, multiple sources tell me & @frankthorp.bsky.social:
—CR through Jan 30
—Approps minibus
—Fully funds SNAP
—Reverses Trump’s shutdown RIFs
—Promise of Senate vote on ACA subsidies by Dec second week (details/outcome uncertain)
—Led by King/Shaheen/Hassan

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

This law also includes a requirement that abortion providers tell patients about unproven abortion pill "reversal." As our recent reporting reveals, the anti-abortion movement views abortion pill “reversal” as a key element of its current legal strategy.
Abortion Pill “Reversal” Is a Hoax. It's Also a Powerful Right-Wing Legal Strategy.
Speakers at a crisis pregnancy center conference made rare admissions about the challenges of providing so-called abortion “reversal,” and indicated its importance as a litigation tool.

Following a recent trial, a judge will soon decide whether to permanently strike down the law, which has been temporarily blocked since 2023.

A newer update to the law would also force patients to name their primary reason for having an abortion, choosing from a list of 11 prescribed reasons, including rape and domestic violence.
