I live in Oregon's Third Congressional District. Applaud those working to preserve our democracy. Classic VW Beetle enthusiast.
Sadly, most doctors don't have a clue. At least they sure didn't 15 years ago.
It can actually be dangerous pursuing treatment because some will prescribe the wrong things.
I traveled out of state - consider myself lucky to have been able to do so. I'm certain that HRT has improved my Healthspan.

My motto is "No Blue Pills!"
Men who are physically fit don't need it. I could go on, but...

That said, I'd rather continue to pay out of pocket for my HRT ($$$$) and have a normal, conspiracy-free, science-first HHS, CDC.
HRT is life-enhancing and should be standard of care even after Kennedy is long gone.
DHEA, Progesterone/Pregnenolone, Bi-EST & Testosterone creams.

Oh boy. Someone with a better understanding of HRT should have helped with the editing here.
Although current HHS comments about HRT are sometimes silly (laden with male-perspective reasoning), this therapy has been great for me - over 15 years now! Maybe it will be covered by Medicare now.

I wanted to check out your profile here after reading some articles. Comments like this lead me to conclude that you have no credibility
As a "journalist." Grow up.

And so much for teaching the truth.

Way back in 2016 I observed to my physical trainer that "MAGA" really stands for "Make America WHITE Again."
His reply "YES!!!" He looked a bit surprised that I'd say this out loud - he's black.

AND the Council permitted PAID Lobbyists to testify in favor of disabling the Mayor’s Impact Reduction Program. Here’s more about how it’s working: www.portland.gov/homelessness...

Take a look at the new Impact Reduction Program Dashboard and learn about the program's performance measures.

As someone who attended this, I’d say that the characterization “Roughly half of Wednesday's verbal testimony came from supporters of Morillo’s plan, who said sweeps cause further harm to people who may be on their way into housing” is wrong. The vast majority were opposed to Morillo’s amendment.

I support your mission. Putin is counting on news exhaustion to get Americans to look away from Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini

We already know that Trump has no problem with intentionally breaking the law. Now what??

And viewing it as a crutch, I reject religion for myself.
I respect that for many, religion is community and a comfort in bad times.
November 7, 2025 at 5:21 PM
I've always viewed religion as a way to control the masses for the benefit of a few.
November 7, 2025 at 5:20 PM
I understand and agree with your point. That said, I'm against fundamentalism in any religion.

I'm no fan. Atheist here.

So many people scared and angry today. Has this Supreme Court, one who professes to embrace Christianity, no compassion?
The Pope will have something to say about this persecution of trans people.

Thank you. I’m no longer a WaPo subscriber, as the paper is now outright aiding and abetting this criminal White House.
The occasional truthful article is offset by monstrous donations by Bezos that help make him even richer, and an editorial board that I no longer count on for reasoned opinions.

Absolutely: both intimidating the populous so that we are afraid to object and big money are the objective.

My 91 year old mother employs a gardener to mow her lawn in the Los Angeles area. He is of Mexican descent, and a US citizen.
He has told her that he and his neighbors try to guess at what time they may be safest to leave their homes.
He does a fair amount of work at night now.
