1. In an alarming move, the Trump administration has banned trans coverage for federal employees and their families, including youth and adults.
It mandates faith-based conversion therapy coverage.
It is one of the largest removals of coverage in the US.

One week until Zooey and I return from France. This honeymoon has been incredible, and I just want to thank all of you for giving us this time to share our joy and love in the face of so many struggles.
We will return soon, recharged and ready to take everything on hand in hand. 💜

With everything going on I needed to do something cathartic, and really wanted to try a WWII-style poster with Sheena.
I really love old poster graphics from that time period and figured it was a fitting theme!

Trump's politics of spite are front and center in his second term. It's a virus that has spread to the entire Republican Party, making his presidency more about "owning the libs" than effecting any positive change. Todd Beeton dug into this mindset for The Big Picture.
It’s All About Owning The Libs Now

I heard Gov. Abbott asked them to steer clear of the state until he gets to watch some kids die.
Man, there's nothing he loves more than watching kids die.
School shootings, barbed-wire migrant crossings, power outages, measles, whatever. It doesn't matter how, as long as some kids die.

It’s way down on the list of concerns but the way he uses words like “powerful” and “strong” as catch-all adjectives drives me crazy.
Social Security will be “powerful”? What? Is it going to fight Godzilla?

This weasel actually insists it’s a “longstanding norm” that only the president or his attorney general can say “what the law is” which is, of course, absolute garbage.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.
I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.
The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.
