According to the Worst "President" Ever,
Portland is “burning to the ground.”

The reality feels a lot different.
But how can you be sure?
A new website, isportlandburning.com
answers the question.

How?
Live cameras of the city,
fact-checked claims &
a live map of fire incidents in the city.
Is Portland Burning?
No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

This is Bella and Hank. They have a commensal relationship in which Bella benefits and Hank neither benefits nor is harmed. 13/10 for both
a small, tan, scruffy dog is perched on the back of a senior golden retriever. Bella the little pup, has her paws placed on Hank the golden's forehead, pushing his skin down so his eyes are closed. Bella's tongue is out and her eyes are wide. seems like she's preparing for a treat, and Hank is used to the arrangement.

Not the most important thing but Elon always looks like he'd be really damp. Like, you know if you went to shake his hand, you'd be like "Oh, did you just wash your hands?" And he would laugh while you stood there horrified wondering why his hand felt like an uncooked chicken breast.

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10
a tiny white dog stands on a tile floor and looks up at you. they’re wearing a big plush yellow star around their teensy noggin, like the world’s most congratulatory lion mane. we really needed to see her today.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.

Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.

And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!

AMAZING
Dear TRUE Patient-Family, Today, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced that Colorado will be joining a lawsuit filed last week in a federal court in Washington state. A federal judge in that case entered an order on Feb. 14 stopping federal agencies from enforcing the executive order’s ban on gender-affirming care for patients under 19 years of age. Based on the federal court in Washington agreeing to add Colorado to the coverage of this lawsuit, we believe the temporary restraining order and any subsequent legal filings in this case will allow Children’s Hospital Colorado to resume gender-affirming medical care, including puberty-blocking and hormone-based medical care. We plan to begin offering this medical care again starting on Monday, Feb. 24. It wouldn’t let me add the whole message. Here is the rest What does this mean for you? · If you are an established patient with an active prescription, you do not need to schedule a follow-up any sooner than recommended at your last visit. Please use the refills that were provided. · If you are a new patient who cancelled your medical visit and you would like to schedule a new appointment, please call 720-777-8783. · If you have an intake or medical visit scheduled, please keep your appointment and know that we will return to our previous model of gender-affirming medical care. We recognize that the changes to the TRUE Center care model have been very challenging for patients and families. We continue to believe that families know what is best for their child, and every family should have the right to receive the expert medical care that their child or adolescent needs to thrive. Because the executive order interferes with those decisions and denies the families of gender diverse children the same rights as other families, we welcome the attorney general’s efforts to fight for their equal rights under the law. Like other hospitals across the country, we will continue to monitor the evolving …

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.

1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.
