This story is unbelievably grim.
"migrant advocates and civil rights attorneys, said they worry the Trump administration is putting children in danger at the San Benito shelter to advance an ideological goal: denying them access to abortion by placing them in a state where it’s virtually banned."
"migrant advocates and civil rights attorneys, said they worry the Trump administration is putting children in danger at the San Benito shelter to advance an ideological goal: denying them access to abortion by placing them in a state where it’s virtually banned."
The Trump administration is sending all pregnant unaccompanied minors apprehended by immigration enforcement to a single group shelter in South Texas. This is a sharp turn from longstanding federal practice, which placed them in shelters or foster homes equipped to handle high-risk pregnancies.
Feds are sending pregnant migrant girls to Texas shelter
Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

Watching Donald Trump drive the
Republican Party off a cliff would be more fun if the rest of us weren't in the back seat.

I live a couple of blocks from an HEB in central Houston, so I know I’ll be ok. It’s 100% fact that the chances of Texans surviving freezing weather has everything to do with our proximity to an HEB.

Congrats to The Ginger Mule in Houston for making Yelp’s list of top 100 restaurants! Every non-vegan I’ve taken there loves it as much as my plant-based friends. It’s really fantastic.

I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for in a politician but not having every day be a nightmare of horrors would be pretty high up so someone should run on that

After unexpectedly losing both dogs this year, Santa led another GSP to us who needed a new home due to his senior parents dealing with dementia. He’s a giant boy at almost 90 lbs, and we’re all completely in love with him. God gave us a great gift as well as peace of mind to his former family. ❤️

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.
But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.
If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

For the LOVE OF GOD how do these people handle their finances? These must be the same people that think if you own a stock and it goes down 20% it only needs to go back up 20% to rebound.
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

Not enough people realize they may need another MMR vaccination. My doctor recommended it for me this year at age 54. She said getting the vaccine again is safe even without doing a titer, but she did one anyway, and it showed I had NO detectable protection from the MMR shot I received when young.
As measles continues to spread in the U.S., it’s likely that the outbreaks that broke records in 2025 will continue into the new year.
Measles outbreaks won't end in 2025 as cases mount in Utah, Arizona and South Carolina
Across the country, confirmed cases are nearing 2,000, closing in on the highest number since 1992.

I’m so tired of having a president that reports whatever he sees on Fox instead of having, I don’t know, a president that is “in the know” and defers to a team of competent intelligence experts.
Our president should have better information than Joe Bob, MarkWayne, & Suzy Joleen living in MAGAville.

He issued a correction, proving why he needs to stfu and let the cops do their jobs.
It’s a a goddamned ongoing tragedy, not a reality TV show, primed for him to drop the big reveal.

Today has been a lot. Plz share your pet for a timeline cleanse. This is my boy Jack. I adopted him 3 wks ago from a sweet senior couple unfortunately dealing with dementia. I unexpectedly lost BOTH of my dogs this year, one of whom was also a German Shorthaired Pointer. Jack is an absolute gift. ❤️
