I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Rand Paul is right.
The U.S. was literally founded after a tiny tariff on tea was imposed without representation — and now Trump is doing the same thing, setting tariffs without Congress, the only body with authority to tax. Even some Republicans are calling him out for abusing his power.

It would be amazing if legislators actually did something to protect women and girls from real threats or made sure that girls playing sports had the same resources as boys. But no. Of course not.
This week’s main story is about trans athletes, where the conversation around them is coming from, the nuances around competition and safety, and where it looks like things might be going. Full segment at the link in our bio.

How the anti-vaccine movement weaponized a 6-year-old’s measles death
Anti-vaccine influencers see the child’s death as proof — not of the danger of measles, but of their own debunked theories.

"Nearly half of all rural hospitals nationwide operate at a deficit, with Medicaid barely keeping them afloat. Already, almost 200 rural hospitals have closed in the past two decades"
“Medicaid cuts are going to result in rural hospital closures...It’s just a question of how many.”

I don't think it's just a distraction. The attacks on trans ppl also attack privacy, bodily autonomy, medications, parental rights, discrimination laws, education funding, marriage equality, etc. I think we're a tool the right is using to erode everyone's rights in a sneaky way.
