Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?
Bari Weiss has a CBS town hall set with Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk.
If you want to attend, you're asked a series of questions on an online form.
The first question is: “Do you consider yourself a conservative? If so, why?”

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.
This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

There's a concerted push to weaponize medical billing against trans people and their healthcare.
Using alternate billing codes for coverage is ubiquitous across the medical system for all kinds of care. This is not unique to trans healthcare but it's being portrayed as such to target access to it.

Today, Florence Nightingale is famously known as the founder of modern nursing, for her work as a trainer of nurses and as ‘the lady with a lamp’ during the Crimean War, working to improve hygiene and reduce suffering.
What's often overlooked is that she was also a *pioneering statistician*.
