The Trump administration thinks the cop who recklessly fired his gun into two homes during the Breonna Taylor raid should spend 1 day in prison.
For perspective, the administration incarcerated Rümeysa Öztürk for 45 days for writing an op-ed -- and only released her after a court order.

Last night, we were one of the first outlets to report the ADULT ban on gender affirming care for Medicaid recipients who depend on it to access it.
This morning, that bill passed 215-214-1.
It now goes to the senate.
It's a bleak day for transgender Americans.

1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid!
